Ford comes up with a prototype noise-cancelling kennel to shelter dogs from fireworks

Dogs have a much wider range of hearing than humans do and noises that don’t bother us can give them a very ruff time. Fireworks are especially tough on many pups and also hard on owners who have to calm their panicking pets. To potentially help them, Ford has developed a noise-cancelling kennel prototype that […]

Skullcandy aims upscale with two new headphones

17 of the best headphones for students, according to reviews

TwitterFacebook

Investing in a good pair of headphones is a must for any student, whether they’re studying for college finals or doing SAT prep in high school and just about everything else in between.

A really good pair of noise cancelling headphones is a great way to focus on studying or writing a term paper because they can block out background noise and free students from distractions. They can also create a distraction-free zone if you’re listening to music or an audiobook, or watching a movie on a laptop in a public setting. 

While great headphones can be really expensive, we picked pairs that have amazing audio quality that won’t break the bank. After all, being broke is pretty synonymous with being a student. And with our recommendations, you can save your money and spend it on more important things for school — like textbooks, laptops, and of course, ramen noodles for late night study sessions.  Read more…

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.

Buying headphones can be complicated. You have to find a pair that has the right balance of noise cancellation and sound quality, without sacrificing comfort. That goes double if you’re looking for headphones for the office or travel.

The WaveSound 3 headphones strike that balance, combining a state-of-the-art CSR chipset with multiple microphones to block out up to 20dB of ambient noise. And they do it independent of ANC function, so they’re an excellent option for air travel. You’ll get great sound, too, thanks to the two 40mm Neodymium drivers. They’ll keep your calls over the built-in microphone clear and crisp. They even fold up quickly and come with a compact case, so they’re easy to bring along anywhere. Read more…
