Whether you travel for business or pleasure, you will often find yourself attempting to pass time on an airplane. An airplane can be an unpleasant and dreary experience, but it doesn’t have to be. Get yourself an mp3 or portable dvd player and you will find yourself much more at ease, especially if you have a pair of noise canceling headsets.
A noise canceling headset is a pair of headphones which is able to lower or remove the hum often found in cars, trains, airplanes and other modes of transportation. The technique used by such headphones is called Active Noise Control, or ANC. Basically, the headset is able to record the tone of the hum, reverse it, and play the reversed hum back in your ear. Believe it or not, playing this reversed hum removes the noise! This is because when you hear a soundwave and that soundwave’s reverse at the same time, the two waves cancel each other out and become inaudible to the human ear. Because noise canceling headphones function best when the hum is constant, they work great in an airplane cabin but would not work so well at a rock concert.
There are many different types of these headphones on the market. Manufacturers include Sony, Bose, Sennheiser, JVC and others. They vary in price, but don’t be surprised to pay upwards of $100 for a good pair. You can find a nicee set at any electronics store, but you will most likely find the best quality noise canceling headphones at a sound or music specialty store. Some stores will even allow you to try the headphones out before you buy them, although this may not give you a full idea of how well they work since there is unlikely to be any consistent buzz or hum to be cancelled out. A few carefully researched product reviews will give you an idea of which brands work and which ones don’t.
Have fun and shop smart. Doing so will make your next plane trip a much more enjoyable experience.
