Is noise cancelling or transparency better?

Noise Cancellation and Transparency block noise, but Noise Cancellation blocks all while Transparency lets outside conversation pass to your ear.

Why is noise Cancelling not perfect?

Noise-cancelling technology cannot completely isolate sound due to the air trapped between your audio device and eardrum. However, the air is important for you to be able to hear music. Suppose you were able to remove the trapped air, the net effect is silence, no matter what volume your music is on.

Does noise Cancelling block all sound?

Unfortunately, they’re not great at blocking sounds that are high-pitched and fluctuating. A classic example of this is people talking. While noise cancelling headphones definitely reduce noise, you shouldn’t expect absolute silence from them.

All Headphones are Noise Cancelling
