Whats the difference between sound isolating headphones and noise cancelling?
sound isolating completely covers the ears and blocks sound. noise cancelling have an audio amp built in and a microphone so that when you are wearing the headphones, you can hear normally until you are in a loud noise enviorment and the headphones become isolating headphones. Hunters and shooters use noise cancelling. The report from a shot causes the headphones to block the loud report. I buy my shooting headphones at Harbor Freight, they are under $25.00 with a coupon and are every bit as good as the $99.00 ones from ****’s Sporting Goods.
