When silence golden

IF YOU’VE ever dreamt of a Cone of Silence for one, then noise cancelling headphones could be your dream gadget.

Although top quality noise cancelling headphones are over-the-ear models, the Bang and Olufson Beoplay E4’s are earbuds, but they promise to suppress more low-frequency noise than B&O’s older models. The E4 uses the same technology as over-the-ear models to get a better result.

The E4 also manages to shrink it’s battery pack’s size compared to previous models without sacrificing battery-life.

The E4’s also feature a “transparency mode” allowing you to pause music and turn off noise cancelling, letting you hear the outside world again. Price $379
