IF YOU haven’t had the pleasure of enjoying the serenity noise cancelling headphones provide, then you are missing out.

To celebrate our latest digital subscriptions offer that sees you take home a pair, we’ve compiled five reasons you need noise cancelling headphones.

We promise they’ll change your life.

1. YOU NEED TO CATCH UP ON SOME SLEEP
WHETHER you’re finding it difficult to get some shut eye at home or have a long plane journey coming up, noise cancelling headphones let you shut out the rest of the world and relax. Download a sleep meditation for some extra help.

2. YOU WANT TO IGNORE YOUR CO-WORKERS
YOU don’t even have to have anything playing through them but a conspicuous pair of headphones will send that all-important signal to your co-workers that you don’t want to be disturbed and you definitely don’t want to hear about Emily’s sister’s friend’s cousin’s baby shower. Too easy.

3. YOU HAVE TO CATCH PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Let’s face it, on the daily bus to work or home everyone is trying desperately to ignore everyone else.
Get out your trusty headphones though and you can easily block it all out (well, you may need to close your eyes too but you get the idea).

4. YOU WANT TO MAKE HOUSEWORK BEARABLE
HANDS UP who actually enjoys vacuuming or better yet, scrubbing the shower. Help make it more tolerable by subscribing to your favourite Spotify playlist or downloading a podcast and then getting busy wearing your brand new ‘phones.

5. BECAUSE YOU DIDN’T PAY ATTENTION THE FIRST TIME
IF YOU’RE worried about concentrating in those boring meetings or lectures, let your phone do all the hard work. Record a voice memo and then listen later without distraction through your noise cancelling headphones.

The Sennheiser HD 4.50 noise-cancelling, wireless and Bluetooth-enabled headphones are valued at $329.95 alone.
