What are the pros and cons of using Noise Cancelling Earbuds
A lot of noise cancelling earbud models have appeared on the market lately and people can’t quite make up their minds as to what type most fits their needs not to mention their budget. But what really are the advantages and disadvantages of these class of earbuds? Let’s dwell on these for the moment.
Pros
• Noise cancelling earbuds are a hit with a lot of travelers as well as those that live, work and get entertained in noisy environments.
• They fit so well in most ears and that makes them so easy to use. The added effect of this is to shield the user from the noise outside.
• Sound isolating earphones do not require circuitry or batteries.
• They are relatively so cheap. Most in-ear varieties cost anywhere from $30 to $100. Higher end models may include additional plastic ear pieces.
• They also boast a better functionality that your common white IPod ear-buds lack.
• With these earphones you can safely listen to your music without having to increase the volume since they help eliminate noise from the outside.
Cons
• These small earbuds can cause irritation over long periods of use, and some models are difficult to insert and remove, especially for those to whom the idea of putting foreign objects in the ear is unpleasant.
• they need to be worn inside your ear canal, which some people find difficult to bear.
• The technology may not work at times although they perform well with sounds that are continuous such as air conditioners, refrigerators or airplane cabins.
• Sometimes people with very sensitive hearing abilities will experience a pressure on their ear drums from the introduced anti-sound, but you have to be sensitive enough to sense it.
• One obvious disadvantage is that if someone loses one of the pair(which happens every now and then) then the other becomes useless since a spare can’t just be attached.
• If you want to eat with these earbuds on your ears then you might feel a little awkward since all you may here is your mouth chewing your food.
There you have it guys, the good and the not so good about noise cancelling earbuds. Test them out for yourselves and see the difference.
