Advantages of noise-cancelling headphones
Reduces ambient noise
Noise-cancelling technology captures and neutralises ambient noise by generating corresponding waves with the opposite phase. This allows the user to enjoy music or other audio experience without being disturbed by background noise.
Improved sound quality
By reducing or eliminating background noise, noise-cancelling headphones can improve overall sound quality. The user can experience details in the music or other sounds more clearly without interference from the environment.
Improves concentration
In work or study settings, noise-cancelling headphones can help improve concentration by reducing distractions from ambient noise.
Practical for travel and sleep
Noise-cancelling headphones are useful during travel, especially in airports and on aeroplanes where background noise can be stressful. They can also be used to create a calmer environment for sleep, especially in noisy or disruptive surroundings.
NOTE! Always use headphones in a responsible manner. Listening to music while wearing noise-cancelling headphones reduces your ability to pay attention to warning sounds around you, and should not be used when you are out in traffic or around town.
Noise-cancelling headphones FAQs
How does active noise cancellation (ANC) work in headphones?
Active noise cancellation (ANC) in headphones works by using microphones to detect ambient sounds and then generating sound waves with the opposite phase to neutralise or reduce those sounds, thereby reducing ambient noise.
