This can be your favorite music, a podcast, or even an audiobook. Basically, they create a little quiet zone around your ears!

There are two main types of noise-cancelling headphones:

FAQs

Are noise-cancelling headphones worth purchasing?

Because headphones do not effectively block out low-frequency noises, employing an active noise cancelling system whenever you are exposed to excessive noise will prevent a significant amount of perceived audio quality loss. With all that disguised sound, your song will seem as if it is missing a lot. 

Is it okay to wear noise-cancelling headphones?

No, wearing noise cancelling headphones all day isn't necessarily terrible, but there are certain things to consider. Prolonged usage, particularly at high volumes, may cause hearing fatigue or impairment. It is critical to take regular pauses and keep the loudness to a safe level.

How can I connect my Logitech H340?

1. Open System Preferences and select "Sound." 
2. Click the Input tab, then select "Logitech USB Headset H340." 
3. Click the Output tab, then select the "Logitech USB Headset H340." 
4. Close the window.

What are the disadvantages of noise cancellation?

Noise cancellation's ability to eliminate ambient sound can also diminish your awareness of your surroundings, which could be problematic if you're biking through traffic or in other scenarios where aural cues keep you safe. 

When should you not use noise-cancelling headphones?

While noise-cancelling headphones and earbuds allow you to listen to music at lower volumes without being disturbed by ambient noise, they lack controls to restrict the song's noise level. If the noise level exceeds 85 decibels, it may cause hearing damage.
