The problem I frequently have is the noise. To combat that issue, I&#8217;ve invested in a wireless, noise-canceling headset.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nThe model I chose is the B&Ouml;HM wireless bluetooth headset with noise-canceling thing. Amazon link below.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<iframe style=\"width:120px;height:240px;\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&#038;OneJS=1&#038;Operation=GetAdHtml&#038;MarketPlace=US&#038;source=ss&#038;ref=ss_til&#038;ad_type=product_link&#038;tracking_id=dangookin&#038;marketplace=amazon&#038;region=US&#038;placement=B01251KZUQ&#038;asins=B01251KZUQ&#038;linkId=DQCBVG54X7YOC5S3&#038;show_border=true&#038;link_opens_in_new_window=true\"><br \/>\n<\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<p>One of the downsides of ordering headphones online is that I really like a good fit. The B&Ouml;HM headphones don&#8217;t fit over my ears as well as my gaming headphones, but they do the job.<\/p>\n<p>First, the noise canceling: It works! It doesn&#8217;t eliminate everything, but it does make the noise more tolerable.<\/p>\n<p>Second, the Bluetooth connection works well with my phone. I was able to sit and work while listening to Jazz Radio on my Android phone. It came through brilliantly, even while the noise reduction switch was active.<\/p>\n<p>Third, the B&Ouml;HM comes with a cable, so you can use it when the headset&#8217;s battery dies. The cable also has a microphone, which means you can use the headset to talk on the phone, although that&#8217;s not a wireless capability.<\/p>\n<p>The only downside to the B&Ouml;HM is the battery life. It&#8217;s weak. I have to charge the phone for at least a couple of hours before I go out on the road. The noise-canceling feature doesn&#8217;t do in the battery, but the Bluetooth radio does. I was able to listen to only about an hour&#8217;s worth of music at the coffee shop before the headset started beeping. The instructions don&#8217;t describe what the beeping means, though I believe it&#8217;s the headset complaining about a low battery.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, I&#8217;m pleased with the headset and hope that it lasts a good long time. I&#8217;ll be eager to try it out on an airplane flight: Though the ambient drone in an jet cabin doesn&#8217;t bother me, I&#8217;m interested in seeing how well the noise-canceling feature works.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7973\" style=\"width: 423px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7973\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/2015-12-19-11.02.29.jpg\" alt=\"Figure 1.
