But with how noisy our island's denizens can be, both are scarce luxuries in Singapore. That is, until you invest in a pair of active noise cancelling headphones.
A ANC headphones are for users who want minimal compromise, where they accept bulk and heft in favour of shutting out even more noise, having a more robust audio profile, and longer battery lives than their true wireless earbuds counterparts.
With so many options to choose from, which are the ones that are truly worth your money? That's what this buying guide is for.
SONY WH-1000XM5
The 30mm drivers are made to reduce distortion in music. Sony has made it very easy for you to pick its XM5 if you're somebody who can't compromise on ANC or sound quality.
Questionable design aside, the Sony WH1000XM5 are almost perfect. It comes with a slight price increase next to its predecessor, but you get so much more in return.
WH-1000XM5 packs two noise-cancellation processors (where rivals normally offer only one), and its NC is automatically available at all times. The additional chip not only improves its overall cancellation abilities, but also improves ambient sound handling. In the real world, it's eerily good. You will be shocked at how much noise it can cancel out.
