This type of wearable tech uses tiny built-in microphones to pick up ambient noise and sound waves, and then cancels them out with its own sound waves. This process is called active noise cancellation (ANC), and it helps drown out noise, especially consistent, low-frequency sounds like a plane engine or people murmuring around you in busy airports. Most noise-canceling headphones also have a transparency or pass-through mode for when you want to be more aware of your surroundings,

Sony has a winner here and has lived up to expectations. The Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones share similar features like comfort and sound but offer a slightly different headphone design (the WH-100XM4 is more adjustable) and are much cheaper.
