HamiltonBuhl NCHBC1 Deluxe Active Noise-Cancelling Headphones with Case

The HamiltonBuhl NCHBC1 is an over-ear wired headphone with active noise cancellation, a 3.5 mm connection, and a carry case, suited to listeners who want to reduce low-frequency background noise while using compatible audio devices.

Recommended For

• Students or school staff using Chromebooks or other devices with a 3.5 mm headphone jack who want over-ear headphones to reduce low-frequency classroom or study-area noise.
• Office or home workers who listen over a wired 3.5 mm connection and want to soften steady background sounds while concentrating on audio.
• Listeners who prefer padded, over-ear headphones with a removable cable and included case for storing or carrying them between locations.
• People who want to try wired active noise cancellation for low-frequency background sounds and are comfortable supplying a AAA battery.

Real-World Use Scenarios

• On a plane or train, a traveler can connect the headphones to a phone or tablet for wired audio; the ANC is designed to reduce some steady, low-frequency engine rumble, though it should not be expected to remove all cabin noise or conversation.
• In a noisy workspace, someone listening to music or other audio can use the over-ear cushions and ANC to make steady background noise less distracting; the manufacturer describes the ANC as targeting low-frequency sounds.
• For a wired video meeting, the user can swap in the included in-line microphone cord to use the headphones as a headset with compatible devices; this setup requires a 3.5 mm connection.
• At the gym, a user can listen to audio through a connected player while the ANC may soften some steady background noise; one customer review describes using the headphones with a radio at the gym.
