I wanted to take a moment to share with you why noise reduction headphones are better than the more widely known active noise cancellation headphones. Most people think of active noise cancelation headphones like the Bose headphones when they think of headphones that block sound. All active noise cancelation work the same way. They have little microphones on the out side of the headphones that are constantly “listening” to the noise around you so they can produce an “opposite” sound wave inside of your headphones to cancel the unwanted noise before it reaches your ears.

Noise reduction headphones, sometimes called passive noise cancellation headphones, take an entirely different approach. Instead of using complicated microphones and electronics to cancel sound, they simply reflect the sound away from your ears. The effect is pretty much like closing the door to your room. You are essentially isolating your ears from unwanted noise. There are a couple different companies out there making headphones like this. The best noise reduction headphones on the market right now appear to be the Direct Sound Extreme Isolation headphones.

Here is my top 5 reasons of why you should use noise reduction headphones:

1. Better value for your money. These headphones block more noise than the $300 headphones out there.
2. No “hidden fee” of having to keep buying batteries
3. Much better at block talking/voices than active noise cancelation headphones
4. Better sound quality
5. Longer lasting/better durablity

There are plenty of places that you can go to get jewelry for that special someone in your life, but most of them lack the personal touch that you can only get from a local business that’s been servicing the town for decades.

Hey, living in Charlottesville doesn’t mean you don’t have access to all the great things that Richmond has to offer. Sure, Cook & Wiley has their offices in Richmond, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t also the leading Charlottesville court reporters.

Living west of Richmond doesn’t preclude you from enjoying all the great services that Cook & Wiley can offer, so when you’re in need of a court reporter in Charlottesville, don’t forget that Cook & Wiley is here for you.

This holiday season, more and more companies will be looking for people to fill their open customer service jobs. Getting a seasonal job in customer service will not only put some extra money in your pocket but can also be a great start to a new career. So what do you need to know before applying for a seasonal job?

1. You’ll be working a lot - A seasonal job in customer service usually comes with some extended hours attached. During the holidays, many stores and call centers stay open later than usual. You may have to work early, late or anywhere in between, so be prepared.

2. You may be doing a lot of things - Depending on where you work, you may be asked to answer phones, help customers with their shopping, process returns, or all of the above.

3. You’ll need to be patient - People can get a little stressed out during the holiday season and may, on occasion, take it out on you. Customer service jobs are best suited for people who can handle a busy workplace, a bit of pressure and the occasional frantic shopper.
