Creative EP-3NC Noise Cancelling Earphones Review

The EP-3NC is a pair of noise cancelling in-ear earphones from Creative. When I mentioned the noise cancellation feature, it’s not just because of the in-ear design, but because the EP-3NC really adds an extra layer of noise cancellation through its built-in microphone that synthesizes with a sound in the opposite phase to cancel it out, or at least reduce it significantly.

After more stuttering starts than a high-performance sports car with water in its gas tank, a new satellite video-on-demand service called XStreamHD says it will finally launch this July, offering subscribers “Blu-ray-quality” 1080p video and up to 7.1 channels of lossless audio. I initially wrote about XStreamHD in January, 2008, when the service was expected to become operational by the end of the year.
