EADSET SHOPPING CAN BE
confusing. It’s a must- I
have accessory, but b
there’s a vast array of
models, types, and options available at a wide range of prices. To
help you wade through the choices,
EAA conducted a review of the
headset marketplace, covering 141
different headsets offered by 23 different manufacturers.
WAVE RIDING
Noise-canceling headphones reduce unwanted ambient sounds
(i.e., acoustic noise) by means of active noise control (ANC). This
involves using one or more microphones placed in the headset near
the ear, and electronic circuitry that uses the microphone signal to
generate an “antinoise” signal.
Noise that originates from an
outside source
The headphone antinoise and the
noise cancel each other out.
