Right, so Sony has come clean. The mysterious MP3 player that we spied is Sony's latest offering with built-in noise-canceling technology. According to the Sony press release, microphones situated in the 13.5 EX headphones, will capture ambient noise and the MP3 player will play an inverse wave matching the noise to cancel it out. Though that's old hat for headphone manufacturers like Sennheiser, this is still the first time we heard it implemented in the MP3 player itself.

There will be three different capacities: 1GB, 2GB and 4GB. And battery life is rated at 50 hours. That's a fair bit, but no pricing details are available.
