Good earbuds help one to study peacefully

• Some students cannot fully pay attention to what
  they are reading when there is a lot of noise in
  the environment. This is where the
  noise-cancelling headphones come in handy to
  impede the external surrounding and help one
  concentrate. However, there are those people who
  find it soothing to read under low volumes of
  sounds but without outside distortions and the
  ear buds become their closest allies.

Blocking Most of the noises

• Noise-cancelling earbuds block a vast majority of
  external sounds. Despite a few limitations, the
  headphones perform the desired tasks by the users.

Giving a richer listening experience

• Low sound volume is ideal for most music. You
  experience the full enjoyment when the volume is
  kept low. Noise-cancelling earbuds provide a
  natural volume that brings forth the desired
  music quality.

For traveling purposes

• Commuter buses, trains, and airplanes are flooded
  with annoying individuals who might create a
  noisy environment. You do not want to listen to
  some guys speaking in their complicated mother
  tongues or worse yet to some guy shouting over
  your ears. You thus need high-quality ear buds if
  you want to sleep, read, or enjoy your travel.

Demerits

• High Power demand
• Comfort issues
• Heavy cost
• They do not block all sounds
• Poor quality sound

High Power demand
Comfort issues

• A greater amount of power is needed for
  noise-cancelling headphones. You might need an
  external rechargeable battery. The headphones are
  relatively heavier than those earbuds which do
  not need their own power supply. A backup power
  is normally required if you are using the
  headphones for a long period.

• The ear buds function by breaking down the
  surrounding sound signals. Sometimes you might
  hear humming noises when on the headphones. This
  humming sound may create pressure on the eardrum,
  which is dangerous. When the user is vulnerable
  when it comes to pressure headaches, an informed
  choice should be made for the most comfortable
  earbuds.

Heavy cost
They do not block all sounds

• There is a great difference between the cost of
  noise-cancelling ear buds and the substitutes.
  Good ear buds may come at heavy prices that one
  may opt for the alternatives.

• If you are seeking total silence, these
  headphones may not work for you. Other sounds can
  get through the headphones. Very loud noises are
  hard to block.

11
Poor quality sound

• Playing music through noise-cancelling ear buds
  creates a compromise in audio performance.

• Knowing the merits and demerits of
  noise-cancelling earbuds will let you know what
  to expect from these accessories.
