There are active noise canceling headphones and passive noise canceling headphones on the market. What is the difference between them?

 

Active noise canceling headphones

The active noise elimination function is to eliminate the noise by generating an echo equal to the external noise through the noise elimination system, so as to achieve the noise elimination effect. Active noise-canceling headphones have noise-reduction circuits that resist external noise. Most of them use a large-volume cap-type design. You can use earplug cotton and earphone shells to block external noise and perform the first round of sound insulation. Enough space to install an active noise reduction circuit and power supply.

 

Passive noise canceling headphones

Passive noise cancelling headphones mainly form a closed space around the ears or use soundproof materials such as silicone earplugs to block external noise. Because the noise reduction circuit does not deal with noise, it can only isolate high-frequency noise, and the noise reduction effect on low-frequency noise is not obvious.

 

Now that you know the difference between active noise cancelling headphones and passive noise cancelling headphones, many consumers mistakenly buy passive noise-cancelling headphones as active noise-cancelling headphones.
