noise-canceling headphones
Quiet-producing audio gear
Noise-canceling headphones are headphones that reduce unwanted ambient sound, typically using microphones to detect external noise and generating inverse sound waves to neutralize it.
This active noise cancellation works best on steady, low-frequency sounds like airplane engines or air conditioning hum.
Some models offer passive isolation through physical padding alone: I can't fly without my noise-canceling headphones.
