8 of the best noise-cancelling headphones in the UK

TwitterFacebook

Listening to music can have a profound effect on your state of mind — which could be part of the reason we buy headphones like they’re going out of fashion. Listening to music (or podcasts, or audiobooks) can be an integral part of getting through that daily commute or lengthy flight.

But if the incessant sound of jet engines, the distracting laugh of a coworker in the next cubicle, or the deafening bang of nearby construction seems to prevent you from reaching that euphoric place, the best solution is to invest in some noise-cancelling headphones. 

Active noise-cancelling headphones can electronically remove the sound coming from your surroundings. They work by using internal microphones that listen to what’s happening in the world around you, then inverting the noise and sending it into the loudspeaker.

Artificial Intelligence Noise Cancellation scopes out your surroundings and adjusts the sounds for optimal ranges wherever you are — because noise cancellation on an airplane isn’t the same as noise cancellation when walking through Times Square, Sony’s I Headphones Connect app also lets you adjust details manually, and even lets you simulate the sound of an outdoor stage, club, hall, or arena.
