Noise canceling
Means as much as noise suppression and means exactly that. Whether in the bus, in the airplane or in the office; the constant background noise can be exhausting and considerably reduce concentration when working. This is where noise cancelingheadphones can help. We explain how noise-canceling technology works.
What does noise-canceling technology do?
When two sound waves of the same frequency meet, they cancel each other out. With Active Noise Cancelling technology, or ANC for short, disturbing background noise is blocked using anti-sound. This means that ambient noise is picked up in the headphones and the corresponding anti-noise waves are then directed into the ear. They react in real time to changes in the background noise. However, similar noises such as the humming of an airplane or the sound of a vacuum cleaner are best suppressed.
Active noise canceling vs. passive noise canceling
In addition to the ANC technology described above, there is also so-called Passive Noise Cancelling (PNC). In this case, the ear is only shielded by the design of the headphones. This is also referred to as noise isolation. As only a physical barrier is created, this is not referred to as a technology.
Noise-canceling headphones: What you should consider when buying
Today, the range of headphones equipped with ANC technology is almost endless. However, you shouldn't just buy noise-canceling headphones because of the ANC technology. The battery performance and wearing comfort also play an important role. Both should be as high as possible. In addition, the operation should be clear to you. That's why you should definitely try out different models before buying.
Noise-canceling headphones when travelling
In public transport, a range of different ambient sounds come together. These are often so loud that even the music listening is disturbed. The music on conventional headphones is then sometimes turned up so loud that the background noise is disturbed. With noise-canceling headphones, this is no longer necessary. ANC headphones therefore help to protect your hearing.
Noise canceling in the office
At work, only a few employees have their own office with a lockable door. Particularly in open-plan offices, the noise pollution is enormous. Conversations between colleagues on the phone or with each other can considerably reduce concentration. This noise pollution is often accompanied by headaches and a feeling of stress. Noise-reducing headphones can prevent these symptoms and provide a comfortable sense of calm.
Risks when wearing ANC headphones
Wearing noise-canceling headphones can contribute to health risks. For example, noise-canceling headphones are gentle on the ear and, if they fit correctly, help to prevent headaches. However, wearing ANC headphones in public road traffic is associated with a serious risk. In dangerous situations, it is usually an advantage to be able to hear sounds. This is why ANC headphones are particularly suitable for use in the workplace.
