What are the benefits of using sound masking?

Sound masking helps to cover up unwanted sounds by adding a consistent background noise, which can improve privacy and concentration in open spaces.

Are there any drawbacks to these techniques?

What should I consider when choosing noise cancellation products?

Consider factors like the type of noise you want to cancel, your budget, comfort, and whether you need portability or specific features like Bluetooth connectivity.
