If music was the greatest invention for bringing people together, then headphones are the greatest invention to keep people away while you listen to music, in peace. Now, as a variant to headphones, noise-cancelling headphones rank higher than anything else because they allow you to drown out the world around you so that you can listen to your tunes, podcasts and books while you relax, commute or work out. Here are seven noise-cancelling, over-ear headphones worth checking out, all under INR 20,000.

YAMAHA YH-E500A Wireless Bluetooth On Ear Headphone
Escape from the noise and immerse yourself in music. Or Zoom calls if that’s your jam. This is the one you put on as you get your weekend decluttering mode on listening to your favourite playlist. It features listening care, which intelligently optimises audio frequencies to assist your long-term listening health. We love the ANC technology that gets rid of external noise to give you a great listening experience, be it commuting to work on public transport, focussing on study or work, or simply enjoying your favourite music.
Bose Quietcomfort Noise-Cancelling Bluetooth Headphones
We used this pair of noise-cancelling Bluetooth headphones when we happened to visit a recording studio for an LBB Recco. First off, the over-the-ear design—it really blocks out most of the noise even before you play music. When it comes to noise-cancelling while on calls or listening to music, we noticed that there are two modes: quiet and aware. The quiet mode ensures full noise-cancelling so you can really prove to your manager you were ignoring them while you were busy working listening to music. The aware mode is where you will actively hear the surrounding noise and your manager screaming your name, but only faintly because the sound isn’t compromised. Oh, and we love the volume-optimised EQ that ensures consistent bass at all levels of volume

Sennheiser HD 450SE
Ideal for those who roll their eyes whenever people start talking.. Or breathing, these headphones will drown out literally even the sound of an explosion happening two feet away from you. These headphones come with a good amount of cushioning, not just on the ear pads but also on the top bit, which in my opinion is great if you’re susceptible to frequent headaches. It can connect upto five devices, and has a very decent battery life. One charge will last you upto 15-16 hours of playtime, and I end up charging them around once in ten days. If you’re looking to use something you can use for high-intensity workouts that won’t slip right off, this is the perfect pick.
