With tech giants such as Sony, Bose and Sennheiser blazing ahead in the front row seat and constantly bringing out high-tech improvements on their headphones, these gadgets have now evolved to become more than just small loudspeakers to let a single user listen to an audio source privately.
From how well they can eliminate outside noise, enhanced sound quality, battery life, and supporting multipoint pairing so you can connect to two audio sources at once, headphones are now essential pieces for finding some peace when you’re in a shared living space.
Although tech companies have been reinventing themselves and bringing out new inventions to enhance their features, the noise-canceling feature has been a focal point in many of these gadgets.
Let's take a look at some of the amazing noise-cancelling headphones that have surfaced in 2021.
