Best Noise Cancelling Headphones in India

22 compared·₹1,699 to ₹24,999·Checked

What decides it at this specification

Active noise cancellation does not block sound. Microphones on the outside sample what is arriving, a chip calculates the inverse waveform, and the earcup plays it so the two cancel in the air next to your eardrum. That only works for noise the chip can predict, which means steady low frequencies: engines, fans, air conditioning. Speech and clatter walk straight through, and that is the method working correctly rather than a fault.
