Question: Do you think noise-canceling headphones are effective?

Sample Answer (The AREA technique):

Answer: Yes, I believe noise-canceling headphones are effective.

Reason: The reason why I think they are effective is because they can block out external noise and provide a more immersive and uninterrupted listening experience.

Example: For example, when I'm on a long flight or in a noisy cafe, noise-canceling headphones can help me to block out the ambient noise and focus on the music or podcast that I'm listening to.

Alternative: However, noise-canceling headphones are not always the best solution for everyone. Some people may find them uncomfortable to wear for long periods, or they may prefer to hear some ambient noise for safety reasons.
