Are there any good BT adapters that you know of? And do they have ANC?
Get a pair of IEMs with great passive noise cancelling qualities, like etymotics.
Pair those with a qudelix 5k.
Problem solved.
Cheap and good ANC? Nah. I really hate saying this, but if you want good wireless with active noise cancelling, consider Apple. The new airpods are said to be the best.
Otherwise, try in-ear monitors, and try getting large silicone ear dinguses that performers use during concerts.
Well, I never mentioned cheap, I was mainly wondering about a Bluetooth adapter that I can use for wired headphones I already have, and I was wondering if there is an option for the bt to have ANC? But I would never buy apple, as they are the one of biggest culprits of planned obsolescence.
$20 ANC is gonna be difficult (or impossible), maybe a used pair?
I meant a bt adapter that can make wired headphones have ANC. I don't think I mentioned a low price though.
ah yeah i got confused. it would be physically impossible for a bluetooth adapter to make headphones perform as if they have hardware that they don't have. so i thought you were referring to the $20 headphones as having ANC.
here is a great explanation of how ANC works: https://electronics.howstuffworks.com/gadgets/audio-music/noise-canceling-headphone3.htm
but tldr is that you need a microphone on each ear and good circuitry to calculate the exact noise canceling frequencies to play.
