Active noise-cancelling headphones can electronically remove the sound coming from your surroundings. They work by using internal microphones that listen to what's happening in the world around you, then inverting the noise and sending it into the loudspeaker. The idea is, both the output and the input will cancel out, leaving you with near-silence — or the music you want to listen to.

OBS

active noise-cancelling headphone: term usually used in the plural (''active noise-cancelling headphones.'')
