- janosdebugs 3y agoTwo theories: 1. Noise cancelling headphones don't cancel everything 2. They needed to be able to use mics, which don't work well with a lot of ambient noise.
- npace12 3y agowould that work? that's like wearing noise canceling headphones to a concert.
- lijok 3y agoUncomfortable for the players if I had to guess
- etskinner 3y agoRead the article; The last couple paragraphs talk about how they tried that and it didn't live up to their standards

- Twisell 3y agoMaybe reading the article you are reacting to would have helped: - It is a retrospective and the first edition held place in 2011. At that time noise canceling in harsh conditions was not a solved issue. - They actually tried the noise canceling, no box approach at the 2022 event. They reverted to boxes for 2023 because it still need tweaking to drop the box altogether.
- Nullabillity 3y agoHave you ever tried using ANC headphones? They'd be better described as noise-reducing. They can also be uncomfortable to some people when worn for long durations, and you presumably do want to let players in the same team communicate to each other.
- __s 3y agoIn starcraft when they'll go with headsets it works by playing loud whitenoise. Not conducive for a team game

- doikor 3y agoThey don't cancel well enough. You can still hear some noise. You probably can't identify what it is but it is enough of a signal to react to (spoiling your surprise play/ambush)
