Guide Review - Kensington Noise Canceling Headphones
One of the major downsides to working on the road is coping with the lack of privacy and background noises. I was pleasantly surprised with the Kensington Noise Canceling headphones, The headphones are very lightweight and the ear pads soft. Wearing the headphones for an extended period of time was very comfortable; the headband section doesn’t dig in and sits lightly on your head.An advantage these headphones offer over regular headphones is the fact that they can decrease background noises. Using the Kensington headphones to listen to a web seminar or when working in a hot spot, I found that background noises were greatly diminished and it was much easier to hear what was being broadcast and to stay focused on my work. The headphones generate a “white noise” which creates more privacy and gives you the ability to not worry about external noise sources – no matter the source.
To switch on the noise canceling feature, there is a small switch on the ear and a small indicator light which lets you know the noise canceling is on.
These headphones come with a nylon carrying case which helps protect them inside your laptop case or keep inside a jacket pocket. They also include an airplane adapter, which means you don’t have to worry about using your headphones on a plane (even to eliminate noise to get sleep).
Help keep your productivity high and enjoy your privacy – no matter where you may be working. These are a great accessory for any mobile worker to have.
