Noise Cancelling Headphones - A Jettsetter's Dream Come True
|
Looking at the situation, it's probably destined that I'll have to bear with the noise pollution on the plane. Pretty much as long as I'm required to travel. But a colleague's recommendation altered all that. He advocated getting a set of Bose Quiet Comfort noise cancelling headphones on flight. It cost a tidy sum but well, base on the level of the travel experience I enjoy now, it was definitely deserving of it! What Are Noise Cancelling Headphones? They are simply audio phones that use technology to do away with ambient noise through active noise control. Microphones in the noise canceling headphones emits acoustic wave to counteract noise whenever they detect its presence. One issue is that an over the headphone works much better than the in-ear smaller earpieces. That probably means, people who like to listen to the music while jogging or exercising may need to get another set of regular phones from the ones they bring onto the plane. But is the hassle worth it? Definitely! How It Aids Jetsetters Like Yourself From what I can see, the headphones not only allow me to enjoy a pleasant journey, I was also able to savour my favourite music onflight without contending with sound pollution. This is actually a very major concern, as I tend to combat the noise by raising the music's volume. I wasn't sure what was the effects of that on my hearing but since getting the noise cancelling headphones, my inclination to increase the volume had been greatly minimized. Besides that, on certain flights which allow travellers to watch movies or play video games, I find myself easily absorbed into the plot or exhilaration without the annoying hissing from the aircraft engine. Actually, the headphones was so good in reducing clatter that there were times when the air stewardess had to tap on my shoulder to get my attention. Ha! Nowadays, if you ask me whether there's anything I couldn't leave home without, other than my luggage & passport, it has to be my Bose noise cancelling headphones!
