Noise-cancelling headphones help you block out these distractions, allowing you to enjoy your music, podcasts, or movies without interference. The Q20 model features hybrid active noise cancellation, effectively reducing ambient noise, while the over-ear design ensures maximum comfort during long flights. With wireless Bluetooth connectivity, you can easily pair them with your device, and the long battery life means you won’t have to worry about frequent charging.
