There's no shortage of strange demonstrations at a show like CES, but few of the ones I've done this year are stranger than sitting in a mock airplane to test out the noise canceling power of JBL's new over-ear headphones.
The headphones I was there to test were the JBL Live 770NC wireless over-ear headphones with true adaptive noise canceling. A spokesperson for the brand says that the headphones analyze and adjust the noise cancelation "up to 4,000 times per second" which helps combat loud ambient noise like a jet engine.
