Noise canceling headphones reduce ambient or outside noise by producing ‘canceling signals’ or sound waves that automatically block outside noise and preserve pure music sound.
There are three types of noise canceling headphones: in-ear, closed back, and active. They are suitable for all types of audio devices like home stereos, MP3 players, and CD players.
Kinds of Noise Canceling Headphones include the following:
In-ear noise canceling headphones
In-ear noise canceling headphones are worn inside each ear canal. They provide superior noise blocking. Their noise canceling systems are made up of microphones that detect and block out outside noise by as much as 70% or 10 decibels. Closed back noise canceling headphones
Closed back noise canceling headphones are worn over the head, completely covering each ear. They have leatherette ear pads and padded headbands for maximum comfort. Their noise canceling systems can reduce outside noise by as much as 19 decibels. Active noise canceling headphones
Active noise canceling headphones look like closed back headphones. They are fitted with tiny microphones and sophisticated circuitries that reduce ambient sounds by creating sound waves. They are ideal for travelers who love to listen to music in airports, bus and train stations, and other environments with high levels of ambient sounds.
In-line volume controls: Choose a noise canceling headphone with an in-line volume control that allows you to conveniently increase or decrease the music’s sound level, eliminating the need to control the volume from your portable audio player. Compatibility: Look for noise canceling headphones that can be used with your particular MP3 player, home stereo, or portable CD player. Make sure the headphone’s jack can fit into your audio device
