Noise-Canceling Earbuds Have Got Your Concha Covered
Yamaha EPH-50 Headphones. For avid earbud users (and abusers) the entire concept of “noise-canceling" is a feature that just never seems to work correctly.

As Nate Chinen chronicled several years ago in the Times, the 70s have been lovingly, exhaustively chronicled in the jazz ...
