Again a new article i found remarkable on the issue of headset’s, what would you do if i didn’t post this ehh? youd have to find the initial article, and the chances you found it could be slim, so deem yourself lucky that i have shared this excellent short article with you.

earpieceWeve all been there; you get up one day to the steady, repetitive scream of a jackhammer scuttling the tarmac outside, you cover your ears using the duvet, but alas, this is to no avail .

You get out of bed and stagger towards the window, as you do so, the noise gets louder. Three blokes are standing in the midst of the road, two are idly chatting and one is pulling the roadway to pieces. Theyve erected a bright yellow barrier in the middle of your road and now two of them are idly chatting whilst a third noisily lays waste to the road outside your house.

In between drilling sessions, you catch small snatches of the conversation, their voices habitually raised to ridiculous levels after years of talking over pneumatic drills.

So I said to him, listen mate, if you believe for one second that Im gonna-

Nah, I havent seen that one yet, but the second was a large pile of—

At first you think it may be The Ghostbusters, re-enacting that hilarious scene from the second movie, but no such luck exists Im afraid.

You head out to clear your (by now officially splitting) headache, only to get that the entire street is subject to this mammoth street mining operation, suddenly that series 2 episode of Black Books stops being so funny and becomes bitterly resonant.

If the above scene is anything you can relate to, then your issue has now been answered, if not; allow me to become a bit more precise. There are two distinct kinds of noise reduction regarding headsets: the first, is called passive noise cancellation (or reduction, which is more apt), this is basically a very low tech concept, as anything you stick in or over your ears (including your index fingers, bits of toffee popcorn or novelty hamburger-shaped earmuffs) could have a noise cancelling effect. Passive noise cancellation is as low tech as anything you place in your ear, or cover your ear with. The second type is much more high tech; active noise cancellation actually blocks out outside noise using a low field of white noise, which creates a sound vacuum that blocks all sound (sadly including train announcements, enraged motorists and oncoming lorries).

So, to return to our previous scene, the workmen are planning on being here a while. If you ask them, theyll say something like

Yeah, busted gas main, youre lucky we found it, actually because—

Soon, everyone will be asking you what theyre doing, listed here are some answers you can provide that disguise the fact that you yourself don’t know whatsoever:

Why does anyone need a noise cancelling headphone?

They found Jimmy Hoffa down there
They found a sequel to the Bible here
Theyre filming a new Ghostbusters movie
Its a pain, but at least the dragon eggs are gone now
