Going back to school? These are my favorite noise canceling headphones to block out your noisy roommate

A woman wearing white Sony WH-1000XM6 noise-cancelling headphones.

I spent more time than most at college — I not only did four years of undergraduate, but I also spent another year later earning a Master's degree. If there's someone who knows how important it is to keep out the noise when you're trying to work, it's me. How did I do it? With a pair of the best noise-canceling headphones. But which did I use?

My headphones of choice at the time were the Bose QuietComfort 25 headphones, which were then the best things around at blocking noise. You can't get those anymore, unfortunately, but you can find other headphones that do a an even better job at keeping out the noise of the cafeteria or your irritating roommate who just won't stop going on and on about their latest piece of homework (ask me how I know).
