Do You Really Need Noise-Cancelling Headphones? Here's What Experts Say - BGR (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Unless you have a sound sensitivity, difficulty staying focused, or a job that requires you to pay close attention to audio, you probably don't need noise-cancelling headphones. That said, there are many situations where they can be beneficial, such as by blocking the sounds of your loud coworkers and family.

The 3 Levels Of Your Android Phone's Biometric Security - BGR (opens the original)
