Noise cancelling headphones introduce artifacts into your music to cancel out outside noise. This is accomplished by using a microprocessor and a microphone that listens and chooses the correct counter frequency so to speak to counteract noise. This is particularly useful for sounds that are constant such as the engine whine of a jet, a lawn mower, or the sound of groups of people chatting in the background. Isolating headphones do exactly that, they isolate or block outside noise from coming into your ears by sealing the driver into the ear canal, thus blocking outside noise.
