Noise-canceling headphones are popular for their ability to block out unwanted sounds, but they can also be a safety hazard. By blocking out external noise, these headphones can prevent users from hearing important sounds around them, such as sirens, alarms, or approaching vehicles. This can pose a danger, especially in emergency situations. Researchers suggest using noise-canceling headphones responsibly by keeping the volume at a safe level and remaining aware of your surroundings.
