How Do Noise-Cancelling Headphones Work?

Noise-cancelling headphones offer two traditional types of ambient sound cancellation systems: active and passive.

Passive noise cancellation simply uses layers of high-density foam or other sound-absorbing material. This material helps to block out some sound waves, especially those at higher frequencies. On the down side, passive noise-cancelling headphones can tend to be heavier, since they are made of additional materials that are quite dense. In general, passive noise-cancelling headphones can reduce ambient noise 15 to 20 decibels.

Active noise cancellation works just as the name suggests - the headphones have features and functions that work to reduce the noise. Tiny microphones embedded in the exterior of the headphones “actively listen” for ambient noise. The headphones then create sound waves via the internal mechanisms that are exactly opposite to the sound waves of the ambient noises. This essentially “cancels out” the ambient noise, meaning all you should hear is the tunes or podcasts playing through the headphones! While these options will cancel ambient noise without the bulk and weight of passive noise-cancelling headphones, they do tend to cost a bit more, due to the advanced technology found inside.

Styles & Brands of Noise-Cancelling Headphones

Noise-cancelling headphones come in all the standard styles and designs you’d expect and desire. Many popular noise-cancelling headphones are available in over-the-ear styles, and the design of these headphones lends itself to being able to block ambient noise easier, due to the fact that a cup is placed entirely over the ear when worn.

That said, you can find other noise-cancelling headphone options that aren’t ones that cover most of the top of your head! Noise-cancelling earbuds are also available, including the very popular Apple AirPods style of earbuds. Since earbuds fit directly into the ear canal, they will also passively block environmental sounds, as well! Many earbuds are also wireless, adding to their versatility and ease of use.

Other brands of headphones available at Kohl’s include Sony, Skullcandy, Beats, JBL, and many more!
