Humbuckers are called "Hum"-"buckers" for a reason- they are two single coils wired to achieve noise phase-cancelation. Single coils do not have this feature, but if you notice that if you have a 5-way selector switch and you use your KNECK and MIDDLE singlecoils on a Stratocaster (assuming you have a 3 singlecoil setup) or a MIDDLE and BRIDGE, there is no hum, because of this sample principle.

Traditional single coils are plagued with the problem of 60 cycle hum when playing at high volumes or with distortion Humbuckers, on the other hand, were designed to combat the hum of single coils, hence the name.

Their fatness, especially in the neck position also makes them great for a variety of styles such as jazz, blues, etc.
