Experienced travelers know the importance of noise-canceling headphones.

Earpiece control wheel
Go wireless or wired
Nothing beats Bluetooth connectivity for ease of use when you're on the go. Wirelessly stream music and take calls from your compatible device with the AH-NCW500's intuitive built-in controls on the earpieces. A rotary control on the right earcup controls volume, while center buttons on each earpiece control music playback and call functions. Tiny dual microphones located on the right earpiece work together to ensure that your speech is always clear and easy to hear in any environment.
What about when you're on the plane and the flight attendant tells you to turn off your wireless device? Denon has you covered: once you're airborne, go wired by connecting the optional cord to the right earcup and your mobile device, or use the included airplane adapter to access the airline's audio offerings. The cord can also be used when the internal battery is drained, allowing for passive listening minus the Bluetooth and noise-canceling features.
What about comfort and sound quality?
Despite the AH-NCW500's many features, you won't have to sacrifice sound quality or comfort. Denon's pentagon-shaped memory foam earpads and double-axis earcups are designed to provide long-lasting comfort, perfect for long flights. The AH-NCW500's 40mm dynamic drivers are powered by a built-in amplifier for bringing out the details in your music and giving them punch. You can even fine tune these headphones to your own taste with the free Denon Travel app for iPhone®/iPod® and Android™. The app includes a customizable graphic equalizer as well as easy integration with your music library. It even provides instant access to your favorite travel sites like TripAdvisor®, Kayak and FlightView® to keep you apprised of flight delays or help you find a last-minute hotel room.
