Noise canceling Headphones - Whats Good?

[JimRB]

I don't like wearing earmuffs. These are my favorite earplugs that have a 31NRR. Amazon.com: Howard Leight Laser Lite Foam Earplugs No Cords (2ct): Home Improvement I can still hear the tractor, chainsaw or lawnmower if it is acting weird but I am not subject to that 90+db roar or whine.

Head phones noise cancelling cuts down extra unwanted sounds. This entire process is executed through active noise control where one or more microphones are placed near the ear. The reason sound isolating earphones are so much better is because they were originally designed for musicians to ensure they only hear themselves while on stage with the loud music in the background. They use soft sleeves that block out background noise and allow small drivers to deliver surprisingly clear sound directly to your ear.

I went with these and like them very well.

I use the Blue tooth for my phone and listen to radio using both AM and FM. Batteries last over 40 hours and they are relatively comfortable to wear.

I use these when doing tractor work and when mowing on my ZTR.

I just bought the Honeywell ear phones, and have been very happy with them. I used to use standard ear buds, and these block out much more sound that the earbuds did. I did not need the radio as I listen to music downloaded on my phone. At $30, the price as right!
