This week, Rachel has ten pairs of noise-cancelling headphones to test. While she listens to music, Jason uses cutting-edge synth technology to create enough noise to interfere with her listening pleasure. After Rachel has selected her favourite three pairs, they submit them to further testing at Birmingham’s Spaghetti Junction. Around 210,000 cars pass through this busy road traffic interchange every day. Which pair of headphones can best filter out the noise? Meanwhile, Polly is in Canada to check out the Maverick flying car, Jon Bentley tests three of the latest and best action cameras with the help of the British BMX riding team in Manchester, and actor Danny Dyer makes a special guest appearance to give Blinkbox, Netflix and Lovefilm a thorough workout before deciding on the best movie streaming service. Finally, Rachel and Jason investigate the technology behind travel cards and similar one-touch payment systems before adapting the technology in some novel ways.
