London – Blackbox, announced its arrival in the UK with the launch of its Blackbox C18 earphones, the first available product from its range. Designed for commuters, travellers, music and fitness fans, and retailing at £69.99 (RRP), the C18 also provides over 50-hours of battery life, with airline adapters, luxury carry pouch and lanyard.

Active Noise Rejection (ANR) technology, provided by Phitek Systems, a global leader in electro-acoustic technologies and active noise-cancellation, is a unique patented technology that virtually eliminates disturbing background noise. It works by intelligently measuring the noise field in the ear, before calculating and reintroducing an ‘anti-noise’ response, resulting in near silence by continuously adapting to the prevailing noise conditions.

Prior to its launch in the UK, the Blackbox brand has seen great success in Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

One of my favourite games to play with noise-cancelling earphones is to put them in your ears, don’t hit the play button on your mp3 player, get a packet of crisps, put a crisp in your mouth and CCcrrrrUUnch!! Try it, it’s great fun.

The Blackbox C18 earphones are available to order now from Amazon.com and Play.com
