Two types of noise cancellation method is used in earphone:
1. Active Noise Cancellation.
2.
Passive Noise Isolation.
1.Active Noise Cancellation (ANC):
This type of technology is only available on high end headphone.
ANC headphone use the microphone to capture the unwanted sound which can disturb
the user experience.
According to amplitude of the unwanted sound the headphone produces
the negative amplitude of the same sound. This combines with the first sound to
form a new wave in a process called ‘interference', which effectively cancels
out the sound going into your ears.
Furthermore, active noise cancellation works best when
combined with good passive noise isolation. While you do get earphones with
active noise cancellation, the reduced level of isolation makes this form of
headset the least suited for the technology.
2.Passive Noise Isolation (PNI):
Another way to get ride of the unwanted noise but it completely
different from the first method. ANC works on the noise reduction process and
PNI works on noise blocking process which completely different. In PNI uses
layer or padding to block sound.
Passive Noise isolation is best on over-ear
headphones, but can be effective even with on-ear headphones and earphones as
well.
