The first noise reduction headphones were introduced to the public in the fifties and were meant to help cut out sounds that are made in the cockpits of aircrafts and also to cut out helicopter noise. The first to come up with noise reduction headphones, Bose Corporation started to work on noise reduction headphones and came up with some useful items in the year 1978. A decade later, this company has gone on to provide the first commercially made noise reduction headphones to the market.
Noise cancelling technologies were developed to help pilots fly their aircraft without being bothered by all the sound that an aircraft makes. Today, noise reduction headphones are widely being used in the airline industry.
Today, most noise reduction headphones are those that are still making use of analogue technologies. Many airlines are also offering noise reduction headphones to their business and first class passengers. Without a doubt, such headphones can play a very important role in cutting down noises and vibrations made by aircraft. Such headphones are also of about the same size as you find when buying a regular headphone.
