The greatest ally in the daily lives of many people, headphones, make up an important part of our technological accessories.

Our list includes headphones (earbuds) to headphones (“over-ear” models), all of them with active noise cancellation technology, let's check it out?
What is noise cancellation?
The noise cancellation created for headphones and Headsets was created in 1950 by Lawrence Jerome Fogel, initially for uses in the aviation area, thinking about the health of the ears and making it easier for workers to hear only what is necessary. When sound waves from the external environment are captured by the headset, it works to prevent them from interfering with what you are hearing.
The headset will detect external noise with the microphone (or more than one, in some cases) and emit a sound wave inversely to the noise, causing its cancellation and leaving only the audio you want to hear. If you were curious and want to know more about this technology, check out our article about how noise canceling works.
