Active noise cancelling picks up the sound around you with small microphones and plays it back in reverse, so the low hum of a plane, a train or an office fades. This page lists only the models whose maker states active noise cancelling.

How well it works differs. Hybrid noise cancelling uses microphones outside and inside the ear cup and usually cancels more than feedforward alone, and adaptive noise cancelling also adjusts itself to the noise and the fit. The type is on each model’s page.

Frequently asked questions

What does noise cancelling do?

Microphones pick up the sound around you and the headphones play the opposite sound wave, which cancels it out. It works best on steady low sounds, such as engines and air conditioning, and less on voices and sudden noise.

Is hybrid or adaptive noise cancelling better?

Hybrid uses microphones on the outside and the inside, and usually cancels more than one set of microphones. Adaptive adjusts the cancelling to the noise and to the fit, and is found mostly on the dearer models. The type each maker states is on the model’s page.

Does noise cancelling shorten the battery life?

Yes, it uses power. Most makers state a shorter play time with noise cancelling on than with it off, and each model’s page gives both figures where the maker states them.
