Noise cancellation is hot these days, with battery packs and weird on/off switches being telltale indicators of these bulky devices. Ever since Bose initiated the movement a while ago, players – big and small – have jumped on the bandwagon, with various products on offer.
Mitashi, a household name these days in the realm of affordable electronics, has come out with a model called the MH 3001 NC. These are active circuit noise cancellation headphones, and let me just say we were pleasantly surprised to see the box waiting in our lab. Now to go on and see whether the underdog can stand up to the more expensive stalwarts or fall flat (pun intended)…
Design and Features
The product is quite light and compact, especially when packed snug in its square cardboard box. The foldable design means you can use it for cueing like a DJ, but the performance will dictate the extent of that possibility. The body is black all over, and thick plastic is the material of choice for the headband and driver cases. The top half of the pad has a semicircular glossy surface that bears the Mitashi logo.
The rims are padded with a soft coated cushion, while the exposed driver is protected by a thin sponge layer. Ergonomically it the device is very good, and does not cause any strain on the ears. The left ear contains a slot for 2 AAA batteries, while the right case houses the circuit; the power switch, and input for the EP cord on the bottom curve. The wires included are an RCA-EP and an EP-EP connector, but strangely no batteries are included.
