Not a DJ? Don’t understand why anyone would prefer FLAC over MP3? Think WMA is perfectly acceptable? Still do that trick with a record and a cactus needle? Then the RCA Noise Canceling Headphones might be something you’re interested in.

There are two things that can ruin your day. The first is good music getting smothered by noise. The second is losing an expensive pair of headphones. So just like some online Henry Kissinger, we’ve found a middle ground for both.

The RCA Noise Canceling Headphones are a cheap way to get a sound you can tolerate. Sure, there are far, far better headphones out there, but are you honestly the sort of person who can drop six grand on something that you’re just going to take on vacation? Cause if you are, we’d like to invite you to our new site, yacht.woot.com.

For the rest of you, the lightweight RCA Noise Canceling Headphones work with any 3.5mm audio jack, from your laptop to your MP3 player to your old fashioned Walkman. The headband folds to fit in a bag, and there’s an on-cable volume adjustment with an on/off button for noise canceling, when you’re ready for a little silence. It’s not gonna cover up that dump truck, but when you want a little less ambient room noise, the RCA Noise Canceling Headphones will do the trick. Also, just in case “ambient room noise” means “I’m on an airplane”, the RCA Noise Canceling Headphones come with an airline adapter, to let you enjoy the sounds of in-flight rock. Can’t get enough Huey Lewis!

So don’t think you’re getting the deal of a lifetime, but if you just want to enjoy your music without freaking out when the Bolivian headphone bandits nab you at the airport lounge as you’re distracted by your attempt to purchase a Clark bar, the RCA Noise Canceling Headphones are for you.
