Noise cancelling headphones utilize a small microphone worn near each ear to reduce unwanted sounds. The microphone generates a sound wave which cancels out unwanted noise. The earphones are most commonly worn in noisy situations, on a airplane, bus, train, or in a busy office. The headphones are excellent tools for reducing noise pollution, which is commonly found in busy cities.
