What is noise-canceling?

Active Noise cancellation (ANC) is an audio technology developed to minimize ambient sounds so you can focus purely on your music. Headphones that support ANC feature built-in microphones and processing that can analyze outside noises and then flip the polarity of their frequencies. This process can effectively reduce and, in some cases, nearly mute distracting noise from reaching your ear. Not all noise-canceling headphones are created equal, but top performers can do an impressive job.

Should you buy over-ear headphones or earbuds?

Over-ear headphones and earbuds are both excellent options, but they each have pros and cons. In general, top over-ear headphones can offer the best sound quality since they can incorporate larger audio drivers. Buyers may also prefer the fit of over-ear headphones since they often have large padded earcups designed for comfort.

On the other hand, earbuds are desirable thanks to their compact design which usually fits in or just outside your ear canal. This makes them convenient to take on the go and use for activities like workouts. Top earbuds can also deliver excellent sound quality, but midrange and budget models often fall a bit short compared to their over-ear counterparts.
