How does noise cancellation work?

Can you explain how noise cancellation works?

Sure! Noise cancellation works by using microphones to pick up ambient sounds and then generating sound waves that are the exact opposite, effectively canceling out the noise.

What types of noise cancellation are there?

There are two main types: passive noise cancellation, which blocks sound physically, and active noise cancellation, which uses technology to counteract sound waves.

How effective is active noise cancellation?

Active noise cancellation can be very effective, especially for low-frequency sounds like engine noise, but it may be less effective for higher frequencies.

Are there any downsides to using noise-canceling headphones?

Yes, some users may experience a feeling of pressure in their ears, and they can also be more expensive than regular headphones.
