I made my own "noise cancelling" headphones by buying a set of ex army ear protectors and wiring in the drivers from an old pair of Sony headphones. They are very effective. Once in work I watched everybody in the office stand up and put on their coats, then start to wave at me. I was very confused until I took off the headphones and realised the fire alarm was going off
- andreasklinger 10y agoamazing ;) can you post a photo of them?
- roryisok 10y agoSure, here are three images I just snapped. edit: forgot the link http://imgur.com/a/2ahUx http://imgur.com/a/2ahUx
- jlebar 10y agoMan, I would love to try these out. Are they available for purchase?
- tetraodonpuffer 10y agothere are plenty of similar things available, when playing drums I use these, which is a similar concept http://remoteaudio.com/products/hearing/high-noise-headset/ http://remoteaudio.com/products/hearing/high-noise-headset/ they seem to be available at several online stores and are fairly comfortable to wear, although at work I prefer simple foam earplugs.
- Anasufovic 10y agoYeah, for an office you are generally fine by looking for "closed" headphones meaning they block out external sound and contain the headphone sound better. It's similar to noise isolation using sealed earbuds except I find it much more comfortable.
- roryisok 10y agoI just bought the ear protectors on ebay, peltor were the brand. cost about £5. edit: here's a similar pair: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PELTOR-ear-defenders-H61FA-/182424041239?hash=item2a7951f717:g:R8gAAOSwjDZYfQXM http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PELTOR-ear-defenders-H61FA-/182424...
