In the market we can find different types of headphones and we can mainly divide them into 3 categories: in-ear, over-ear and over-ear. Each has a different design that adapts to user needs. If we talk about in-ear headphones, we are talking about the classic headphones for smartphones, while over-ear headphones cover the entire ear, and over-ear headphones are located above.
If we are looking for headphones, regardless of their type, and we want them to completely isolate us from our environment, we are looking for headphones with noise cancellation, but not just any type of noise cancellation. If we talk about noise cancellation which includes technology responsible for eliminating all sounds from our environment, we are talking about active noise cancellation, better known as ANC. We can also find devices that offer passive noise cancellationwhose technology is limited to isolating them from our environment with pads that reduce the noise from our environment.
Headphones with ANC include microphones on the outside to capture the sounds of our environment and cancel them, so that they always offer us the best results, we limit ourselves to using headphones with ear cushion to perform this function. If you want to know what are the best options currently available on the market if we are looking for in-ear headphones, we invite you to continue reading.
