The noise-cancellation market is chocked full of contenders that all want your money. There are some big names including Sony, Sennheiser and Bose in the mix and a lot of mainstream companies that include JBL, Audio Technica and others. Then there are a ton of smaller companies that you?ve probably never heard of ? including Linner. Just because you?ve never heard of them doesn't mean they aren't worth listening to however. We met Linner at CES this past January, and I was impressed. It's because of that meeting that I have the sample today and will share my thoughts.

Linner is a relatively new company that draws on a lot of expertise in manufacturing and from some employees that worked at other establishments. They?ve pooled their collective resources to come up with a product that promises solid sound, excellent noise cancellation and quality construction. They have other earphones and headphones on the market, but the NC50 is currently their flagship product. It offers incredible value with a street price of $69.99 currently.
