If you want to buy a pair of noise-cancelling headphones, but the Bose QuietComfort line is out of your budget range, Creative might have just what you are looking for.

I’m referring here to the HN-900 and Aurvana X-Fi 2 headphones, both of which include active noise cancellation and a host of other features, according to Uber Gizmo.

Starting with the HN-900, these are powered by a single AAA battery, providing up to 40 hours worth of usage and also come fitted with an integrated microphone, all for an affordable $99 (75 EUR).

If a more feature-rich solution is what you are after, the Aurvana X-Fi 2 adds virtual surround sound thanks to the Creative X-Fi CMSS-3D technology, which can be controlled along with volume right from the headphones.

As always, the extra features have their price, so the Aurvana X-Fi 2 retails for $100 more than the HN-900, which makes for a grand total of $199.99 (152 EUR).
