The Question Is Mute
It’s got a lousy beat and you can’t dance to it. If the city sounds so great, why are all these people running around with MP3 players? Why is “I Gotta Feeling” the top iTunes download right now? Forget about the city sounding better than your favorite band. The city can’t even beat the Black-Eyed Peas.
Clearly, cities should be lived in and not heard. So plug up your noise-holes with these Philips Noise Canceling Earbuds. No, they won’t drown out that bone saw or that trombone or those howler monkeys – what is your neighbor doing up in that apartment, anyway? But they’re great for muffling the nonspecific hum that arises when you cram millions of people, machines, and animals together.
And like John Candy, they’re at their best in planes, trains, and automobiles. Even the most hushed, ethereal acoustic elegy will come through loud and clear, thanks to compact noise-canceling electronics that Philips says will reduce unwanted ambient noise by 70%. Our tests reveal it’s more like 67%, which would upset us if we weren’t totally lying about running our own tests.
So drown out as much of the urban cacophony as your preferred killer jams can handle. The Philips Noise Canceling Earbuds will take care of the rest. But keep your eyes open and your wits about you – one of those buses you’re not hearing might be headed right at you.
