The headphones (10) comprise:
a transducer (16) (12);
an noise-canceling processing chain (30, 40) comprising:



a microphone (31, 41);
a noise-canceling processing filter (34, 44) which comprises in series:
a stabilisation filter (34A, 44A) whose transfer function is substantially equal to the inverse of the transfer function of the processed secondary path, and
a noise cancellation filter (34B, 44B) whose transfer function is a noise cancellation transfer function.




The secondary path is formed between the transducer (16) and the eardrum, and
the transfer function of the processed secondary path is the transfer function of the secondary path combined with the transfer functions of the processing components, excluding the processing filter (34, 44).
