Headphones

Difference between active noise cancellation vs passive noise cancellation​

  • Active Noise Cancellation
    • Uses microphones and speakers to reduce background and surrounding noises. This is the most known type and has mostly been used in over-ear headphones. Technology has become so small and battery efficient now that it can be used in true wireless in-ear earphones.
  • Passive Noise Cancellation
    • Uses well designed ear cups to seal out unwanted noise. This is used for both over-ear headphones and in-ear earphones where the earbud itself will keep surrounding noise out.
