Remote work offers employees flexibility and freedom to work from virtually anywhere. It offers many benefits such as a better work/life balance, and recent studies show that productivity increases when people work from home. That said, sometimes your at-home setup is less than ideal for a productive day of work, and many factors can disrupt your process. Noise cancelling headphones help turn any location into the perfect work environment by blocking out distractions while letting in just the right amount of ambient noise. Here are the benefits of noise cancelling headphones for working from home.
The hybrid workplace model helps parents balance the demands of their jobs with their childcare needs. Noise cancelling headphones with an ambient aware feature – such as Aware Mode on the Bose QuietComfort Headphones – work great in this situation, as they block some noise while still allowing you to hear what’s happening around you. Aware Mode lets you hear content and your surroundings at a balanced volume, so you can keep your eyes and ears on your children to make sure they’re safe.
Whether it’s rowdy dogs or vociferous cockatoos (which have chirps that reach up to 135 decibels [dB]), pets can be a source of distracting noise when working from home. Headphones that provide both passive noise cancellation (PNC) and active noise cancellation (ANC) are best in this situation since pets can produce both constant noise and quick, sharp sounds. In these situations, our noise cancelling earbuds, QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds, work phenomenally for ANC capabilities.
Live in a place where people are always coming and going, like uni halls or a block of flats? Maybe a flatmate also works from home or watches TV during the day. If the coming and going of others are making it hard to focus, a pair of noise cancelling headphones for working from home could help. Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones offer the best noise cancellation, creating a quiet space even in a chaotic environment. And with unrivalled voice pickup, you can participate in conference calls without the TV programme in the background interfering.
It’s hard to escape the din of the city, even inside a flat. That’s because low-frequency sounds can travel through walls. So the rumble of buses, bin lorries and commercial lorries invade interior spaces. Loud, obtrusive noises can also be a distraction when you’re on the go, or even working from an airport or aeroplane.
Working at home can feel isolating if you’re used to working around others. Cafes offer you the benefits of free Wi-Fi®, easy access to caffeine and a lively and pleasant atmosphere. The key to productivity in this environment is reducing ambient sound without completely blocking it out. Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones are great noise cancelling headphones for working at a cafe thanks to noise cancelling modes for your preferred mood. Quiet Mode to block everything around you or Aware Mode to hear your music and surroundings with full transparency, making it possible to order a coffee without taking off your headphones.
The great outdoors can be a great workspace. As long as you have a strong mobile signal, you can use your smartphone to create a mobile hotspot, giving your laptop Wi-Fi access. Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds are ideal for working outdoors and keeping your hands free for other tasks. Work at the beach, by the lake, in the park, at a hiking trail’s scenic overlook – anywhere! Imagine getting some fresh air while getting some work done – that could never happen in an office. Best of all, you can use the noise cancellation features even when you’re not playing music, so it’s possible to adjust the level of nature sounds to your liking.
No matter where you choose to work, noise cancelling headphones, and even wireless headphones, can make any place a quiet workspace.
