Bose has prided itself on not just having top of the line noise cancellation, which many competitors have as well, but also on the size (and thus the accessibility) their technology delivers.

The Next Generation of Headphones?
Noise canceling headphones have actually been around for several decades, even though consumer-level equipment has only just hit the market. The technology to negate loud sounds, such as what you might experience on an airplane, has been used since around 1950 to make cockpits quieter. A famous name in audio technology, a certain Mr. Amar Bose, started developing noise canceling headphones in the late 1970s, and released the first commercially available models about ten years later. Today, the technology has matured enough and cheapened to the point that noise canceling headphones are the de facto standard.How Noise Canceling Technology WorksSound waves operate as very tiny vibrations in the air. Eardrums pick up those vibrations and translate them into electrical signals, which the brain then translates as sound. Noise canceling headphones work by recognizing those vibrations then producing equal vibrations traveling in the opposite direction, essentially canceling out any noise.Other noise canceling technologies work by simply insulating ears against all sound waves, much like a sound barrier along a busy interstate works. This physical layer can block most, but not all, sound. Noise canceling headphones which cover the entire ear instead of simple ear-bud headphones tend to work the best.Paying a PremiumNoise canceling headphones cost more than normal headphones for the extra sound protection they offer. Normal headsets start as low as $10, but noise canceling headphones can add $40 or more to the price. They're most useful in busy, crowded places, like restaurants, airplanes, or offices. Hotel rooms, homes, and other quiet places don't require special headphones to comfortably listen to music.Other DownsidesAnother problem with these headphones is that they require extra power for the noise canceling technology to operate. Producing those oppositely directed vibrations takes a small amount of power, so noise canceling headphones drain batteries more quickly.Also, sound quality tends to degrade because of the complex wiring and circuits needed to block excess noise. If you're an audiophile looking for the absolute best sound quality available, a normal pair of headphones costs less while producing clearer highs and deeper lows.Noise canceling technology also works poorly in blocking dynamic sounds, like voices and music. It works best against continuous noise, like traffic or the hum of an engine. Even with these downsides, many people prefer noise canceling headphones because of the unprecedented clarity they provide in crowded spaces. If you're on the go a lot, consider checking them out.

Many new headphones on the market are called noise reducing because they take sound waves that come in from the outside and add a sound wave to it that is exactly opposite (out of phase) to it these a?
Yes, that is correct. This noise cancellation mainly works for lower frequencies, and is somewhat limited for higher frequencies.

Can you keep your laptop speakers on while you plug your headphones in?
How about getting a suitable adapter cable and plugging the other end into a hi fi system and then use headphones and speakers. Alternatively you can try plugging in the headphones halfway. It works apparently.
Why do your right headphones keep shorting out with your ipod touch?
There could be many different causes for this, but assuming the iPod Touch works perfectly fine (and never had an incident where it shorted out, had to be repaired, dropped in water, etc.), the first step is to make sure that the headphones are plugged in all the way. Shorting out of the sound in the right headphones is common when the headphones are not blugged in all of the way. The second step is to try out a friend's headphones are just get new ones, because if you try out a friend's and it works fine, then you know it is your headphones and you need to get a new one. The headphones don't cost that much, so it's better just to buy new ones if you already followed the first step.

One of my speakers doesn't make any noise and i put some headphones that work perfectly into them and only one works too how do i fix this?
Mine did the same thing. I asked a Radio Shack guy, and he said one of the wires and bad, or the speaker just broke. You'll have to buy new ones. (tip: Radio Shack, where I get all my headphones, gives out a warranty for a buck or so more. Take my advice,... Get it. ;) )
