Do noise-cancelling headphones really work? If you’ve ever wondered, you only need to try on a pair of Bose QuietComfort headphones or earbuds to know that they do. The Bose QuietComfort line replaces and enhances the abilities of the previous QuietControl line, and, as always, Bose proves itself in both noise-cancellation tech and audio quality.
Multiple microphones in and on Bose noise-cancelling headsets pick up the sound frequencies in the environment so the device can tailor counter-frequencies to block them. Even without playing music, Bose noise cancellation can often block out seventy to eighty percent of environmental noise.
However, if you want to remain alert to your surroundings, you can switch from quiet mode to aware mode! You have options, and with Bose headphones, you enjoy the benefits of an easy-access mode button, power toggle, pause/play/stop buttons and volume control. Additionally, you can extend noise cancellation tech to the built-in mic in your Bose noise-cancelling headset when you choose Bose headphones and earbuds with microphone noise reduction.
