Wonderful.

What can you tell me about Astoria? Why should I move there? Begin!

I thought about it for a few minutes longer and realized this can work because your wearing something right next to your eardrum. Before I was thinking how could sound be cancelled, if I yell at a concert when the band is playing my yell is still there but it’s drowned out, but I guess because the headphones are right next to your ears that must be a big part of why it works.

So say you have some good ones, when the headphones hear a noise and play the inverse to cancel it, can you hear that at all? Also, is there a delay? If there was a gunshot far enough away where the headphones could manage to cover the volume of the shot, would it be able to cancel it out in real time? I just don’t understand how sound can be cancelled without some sort of other sound that plays to replace/mask it, in which case it’s not cancelling it just lessening it.

I’ve never used noise cancelling headphones…my question is, do they have a slight white noise to them at all times? That can’t be good for your ears if they do.

Any instrument where you recognize it in the recording is good. That’s why I hate a decent amount of modern pop music because I can’t tell if they used any actual instruments other than a computer up to and including the vocals.
