Noise Cancelling Headphone Market Trends Set to Make Waves in 2024
Whether you're looking to focus on work, relax with your favourite music, or immerse yourself in a podcast, noise-cancelling headphones offer a sanctuary of sound, delivering clear and uninterrupted audio for your ears only. These headphones are designed with sophisticated active noise cancellation technology that filter out unwanted external sounds, allowing you to focus on the noisiest of surroundings. Noise cancellation headphones also provide you with protection against hearing damage, by eliminating the need to drown out external noise with higher volumes. By leveraging active noise cancellation, you can enjoy your music at safer, more comfortable levels, safeguarding your ears, while boosting your focus and enhancing your overall listening experience.
Technologies Used in Noise Cancelling Headphones
Noise-cancelling headphones use Active Noise Cancellation (also known as ANC) technology to create a quieter listening environment. This technology works by using microphones and electronic circuitry to produce sound waves that are the exact opposite of external noise, thereby cancelling it out. The three main types of ANC technology most commonly used in noise-cancelling headphones are as follows…
Feedforward ANC technology uses an external microphone to detect noise before it enters the ear, allowing the headphones to produce an opposing sound wave (anti-noise) to cancel it out. This is effective for higher-frequency noise but may not adapt as well to sudden changes in noise or lower frequencies due to the external positioning of the microphone.
Feedback ANC employs a microphone placed inside the ear cup, closer to the listener's ear, which detects both the external noise that gets through and the sound being delivered by the headphones themselves. This setup allows for the cancellation of lower-frequency sounds and offers adaptability to changing noise environments, though it might be less effective against higher-frequency noises.
Hybrid ANC combines both feedforward and feedback ANC approaches, utilising microphones placed both outside and inside the ear cup. This combination aims to offer comprehensive noise cancellation across a broad range of frequencies and dynamic noise environments, leveraging the strengths of both feedforward and feedback systems.
