The Best Noise Cancelling Headphones For Workations

Stay focused no matter the setting.

Working vacations, or "workcations," are a great way to get away without having to take time off the job. Unfortunately, for that same reason, one also has to "work" during a workcation. But the good news—for when you're reviewing reports or compiling stats at the beach or poolside—is that a pair of noise-canceling headphones can let you have the best of both worlds. Block out unwanted background noise or listen to music to help you concentrate on the task at hand—all the while admiring the view.
