Noise cancel head phones don’t work

[Quasar44]

I was just at Best Buy
I tried them on
They felt good on my ears
. I asked the sales guy to talk and I heard every word

Utter BS

I don’t want to hear anything

Any ideas

Thx

They’re noise canceling, not talk canceling.

You can tell your programmer ... you're NOT passing the Turing Test.

Are you retarded?


For starters, were they on? They have to be ON in order for them to even remotely be any good.

Secondly, sound is caused by vibrations. No matter what, those vibrations will conduct via your skins and bone, and will travel into your auditory canal, no matter what. There will always be SOME kind of noise. Noise canceling headphones work wonders when they are on, and the wearer doesn't take the name too literally.

It's not nice to refer to them as retarded to their face.

That is why my idea is best.

Just destroy the auditory canal.

Problem solved. I had the nerves to one of my auditory canals severed. . no sound.

Better than an earplug when it comes to sleeping.

Noise cancelling headphones are only intended for really loud noises, like at a shooting range.
You normally want to hear a conversation, so they do not cut in until you reach much higher decibels.

But there are some where the threshold is adjustable?

But there are also some that claim to eliminate all sounds?

I had them on both ears and it was not plugged in
I could hear other folks in the store blabbing

I am giving the product zero stars

Well, I speak for myself......I'm not talking to someones ASS and call them retarded.
It WILL be to their face.........possibly BOTH of them.

I thought noise cancelling headphones cancelled out all the static, and electronic whatnots you hear through whatever you are listening to.

The only way to cancel out noise is to kill your ear drums, or blow up the world.

They won't stop the voices in your head, if that's what you were hoping.

My apple earbuds work great in noise cancelling mode.

I was given a set of noise-cancelling 'phones as a gift several years ago when I was doing a lot of air travel. They were uncomfortable, bulky and though they worked they were a pain in ass.

More recently I tried them when using a weed-whacker (not plugged into a radio or anything - just put 'em on and turned 'em on. It was magic! For the purpose it seems the over-the-ear variety are best. A little sweaty but very comforting.

I gotta call bullshit.
As I just said my airpod pro's work great at cancelling noise.
I think your dont understand how they work. I can have my Airpods in my ears while listening to say a movie,without noise cancellation I can hear background noises like a fan or traffic. If I turn on noise cancellation those background noises disappear.
How do noise cancelling headphones work?

Good to know, when you want a cheap way to get some silence.

I am clinically diagnosed as being “retarded “
I think retard is the medical lexicon the doc used
