How Do Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones Work?
One of the best technologies Bose has pioneered is that of noise cancelling headphones. Although other manufacturers have tried to emulate this technology, Bose is still considered the best manufacturer of this type of product. Bose’s quiet comfort headphones use the latest technology in noise cancellation to help users enjoy music, other types of audio or just peace and quiet in noisy environments. These headphones work by using tiny microphones embedded in the ear pieces to sample the ambient noise from the user’s environment. Once sound waves from the environment are sampled, electronics inside the ear piece invert the sound so that the net result is a nearly flat sound wave. This allows only quiet or music to come out of the headphone speaker and into the user’s ear. This is called “active” noise cancellation. Knowing that the active noise reduction of the Bose noise cancelling headphones may not neutralize all environmental sound, Bose has designed “passive” cancellation into thes
