New Latitude Noise Canceling Headphones from Plane Quiet

Plane Quiet is adding a new member to its family, the Latitude active noise cancellation headset. The Latitude is designed with a similar soft and ergonomic headband and ear cup to its big brother, the Plane Quiet NC-6. The headband is collapsible; reducing the headset to nearly 1/3 is normal size. With its 12 decibels of active noise cancellation you can eliminate unwanted noise while you relax. Simply plug the headset into an audio source and enjoy your favorite DVD, CD, MP3, or in-flight movie.

Features:

  • 12 decibels of active noise cancellation
  • Foldable design
  • 1/8 inch plug
  • Dual pin adapter
  • Leatherette protective carry pouch

 Latitude Noise Cancelling Headphones from Plane Quiet

The Headset Can Be Used Three Different Ways: 

  1. To eliminate noises only 

  2. To listen to the airline's sound programs-music or movies (save$$) or 

  3. To listen to one's own portable sound source, for example a CD, DVD or laptop computer.

Features:

  • Combined  passive and active noise cancellation of 12dB at 300 Hz

  • The headphones come in an plastic bubble pack suitable for a gift with AAA battery included.  

  • Also included is a draw string protective bag to protect the headphones while stored in your carry-on bag. 

  • Easy to use with a single on/off switch 

  • Battery life playing music, is around 14 hours. (Battery life depends on whether you're just using the headphones to quiet background sounds or if you're also playing music through them).  

  • To take up as little space as possible when traveling the headband folds. The headphones weigh about 6 ounces.

  • The electronics for the unit are located inside the ear cups and the battery compartment is attached to the head band. There is an on and off switch located on the right ear cup with LED to indicate if the unit is switched on.

  • The unit will play music in a 'pass-through' mode if the battery is dead. When turned on and with a live battery, the headset not only passes the music through but also offers some additional amplification. 

Technical Specifications:

  • Noise Cancellation Headset

  • Dynamic Closed Air Design for passive and active noise cancellation of 12dB at 300 Hz.

  • Ergonomic dome ear cups with PVC ear pads

  • 3.5 mm stereo plug with dual pin adapter plug included

  • 1.6m cord length 

  • Powered by 1 AAA battery (included) Rechargeable battery compatible.

  • Weight 6 oz.

  • 1 Year Warranty

Latitude Active Noise Reduction ANR Headphones 

Most of us don't realize how much noise there is in everyday activities, especially flying. Here is a sound comparison: passengers in jet planes typically experience sound pressures levels from 75 - 85 dBA(a weighted decibel measurement in the frequency ranges of human hearing) and commuter turboprops are even noisier with levels near 90 dBA. A Gun shot is approximately 140 dBA; rock concerts range 110-115 dBA; mowing the lawn on a riding tractor is 90 dBA. So, as you can see, for those who travel regularly the "Plane Quiet" headset could very well protect against hearing loss. By detecting and canceling out the potentially damaging frequencies between 400 and 1000 Hz,  Active Noise Canceling Headphones work to protect your hearing and enhance your comfort when traveling in commercial aircraft and other mass transit environments. 

The "Latitude" headset features the proprietary active noise reduction technology first incorporated into aviation headsets. Thanks to an advanced acoustic design technology breakthrough, the headset dramatically reduces unpleasant noise and provides high quality audio reproduction. 

How It Works
For years, pilots have taken advantage of Active Noise Reduction (ANR) technology in their headsets to protect their hearing and reduce in-flight fatigue. ANR circuitry detects ambient noise and creates an equal but opposite sound wave to cancel it out, resulting in reduced noise levels and enhanced comfort for the wearer.

The "Latitude" headset suppresses unwanted high and low frequency noise, from screeches to rumbles, with 15 dB (decibels) of attenuation across the range of human hearing. It is an integrated system that combines proprietary electro-acoustic and ergonomic technologies leading to the same kind of full spectrum noise reduction characteristic of other military and aviation products.

First, the earcups cradle the ear at an ergonomically canted angle that is the natural and comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. The headrest automatically adjusts to fit the head. Second, through special electronic circuitry, the headset actively lessens most of the noise that cannot be eliminated by simply covering the ears. 

Tiny microphones in the headphone electronically "listen" to the noise that's coming at the user's ear and transmit information about that noise to the unit's ANR circuitry. It analyzes the offending noise and immediately sends back to the headphones a special noise cancellation wave, or "anti-noise," that meets the unwanted noise and cancels it. 

The ANR circuitry is most effective against steady, low frequency (20-1500 Hz) sounds, such as that produced by airplane jet and turboprop engines and propeller noise, fans and even car engines. Noise in this range is the most damaging to hearing and causes the most fatigue and interference with conversations and music. This correction signal, when reproduced by the speaker in the earcup, significantly reduces the noise leaving the desired sound. The process of measuring, creating a correction signal and lessening the noise is rapid and constant, thus the headset reacts to any dynamically changing noise.

Another Benefit

Outside The Box Inc. tested the product on several frequent fliers such as business travelers and airline employees, and they came to a surprising conclusion, "Over seventy-five percent of the travelers felt less tired at the end of their flight. We have also found medical studies that supported this: low frequency noise leads to fatigue. If we take away the noise, the advantage is you feel better than the guy next to you." Aircraft roar, especially for many hours, affects the way people hear and feel. With the headset, travelers should arrive rested and relaxed.
