Abstract

Disclosed are a method for enhancing noise reduction amount of a feedback active noise reduction headphone and active noise reduction headphones. The method includes: arranging a noise reduction microphone of the feedback active noise reduction headphone at a position away from directly in front of a loudspeaker; and adjusting a relative position between the noise reduction microphone and an ear canal opening of a wearer, and enabling an open-loop transfer function at the ear canal opening L2(s0) and an open-loop transfer function at the noise reduction microphone L1(s0) to satisfy a relation of |L2(s0)|>|L1(s0)|, to enhance an actual noise reduction amount at the ear canal opening.
