+519 It would be nice if headphones could just play silence into your ears. Loud silence, though, so you couldn't hear anything outside of the headphones. It would just give you a little peace and quiet sometimes, amirite?

Noise cancelling headphones have microphones that listen to the noise around you, and play the opposing sound into your ear that cancels it out. Ie: it removes about 85% of all outside noise. You can also play music through them with the noise cancelling working. Brilliant on aeroplanes! Just very expensive. Kind of weird the first time I used them. It's like your ears have gone into a vacuum and outside noise is just gone. Quite different to using earplugs.

Oh when I suggested ear plugs I ment ones that people who work in construction and stuff use. Coz he said just plays silence instead of plays music.
