Stop All that Noise Today and Enjoy Peace and Quiet


By Jeffrey Meier


Why would you want to try a pair of Noise Canceling Headphones today and how could it actually help you? Do these questions seem intriguing to you? There were for me, until I went over to the “other side” the quieter side of life, and bought a pair of Noise Canceling headphones.

There have been headphones around for along time, a way to privately listen to music and not disturb others, but as technology got better and better the manufacturers starting with Bose and then others like Sennheiser and Shure all started to improve the headphones. They made softer cushions around the ears; they added new material to the inside of the ear cup. Then one day they realized people were not just listening to music in the home, they were out in street, at they gym, or as many people use them traveling on planes, trains and buses. The outside world is a busy and noise filled place and the louder you would turn up the music, you suffered distortion and loss of clarity of sound. So the ability to remove excess sound before the sound got to your ears was invented.

Bose the undeniable leader was the first out the gate with Noise Canceling Headphones, they were bulky and not really practical for the modern day person on the go. They were a tremendous achievement, but with more travelers, and people into personal fitness, it was not a good match. The newest version Quiet Comfort 3 is sleek and stylish and has even softer cushions, and the latest technology inside. It has only one downside, you must pay for the quality, it is sold for over $300. For the person who wants the noise canceling features, but is willing to spend slightly less there is good news, many quality companies such as Koss, Panasonic, Sony and Maxell offer modest priced alternatives in the category of noise canceling headphones. You can find several models and styles to fit any budget and though they do employ the exact features from Bose, you will find that many do a fantastic job of eliminating excess sound and improving your ability to enjoy music, playing games, or working on your laptop.

If you are NHRA or NASCAR race fan and are tired of foamy cushions that never do fit right and still let in tremendous amounts of noise, you should buy a pair of noise canceling headphones and wear them at the races. You will find many types that are stylish and comfortable and believe me they will blow you away with the amount of noise they remove from the track. I also see that some versions offer adapters so you can plug your cell phone into the headphone. There is always something new around the corner to make our lives better and I have found as a music lover, noise canceling headphones fit my current hectic lifestyle. I also discovered the pure joy of being on an airplane and never hearing a sound except what I wanted to hear, it is amazing to say the least.
