I've had Bose sound dampening earphones (qc20) and I urge you to buy them or similar. You'll be able to listen to your noise sound file at much lower volume while massively improving efficiency.
They are expensive, but if you truly are listening to too loud sounds you need them.
- dghughes 8y agoThanks for the tip, that would make sense. Actually one of my classmates uses noise cancelling headphones in class. Actually in the entire program I've noticed many people use full entire ear covering headphones I bet 80% of the students. Now I know why.
- mamon 8y agoDo such earphones cancel just background noise (like street traffic) or are they also effective against human speech? I ask, because the kind of noise I'm most interested in cancelling is my coworker's chit-chat.
- loco5niner 8y agoI have qc20's and they are mostly effective against droning, repetitious noises (think airplane noise). If the chitchat is far enough away, quieter, and random enough (think coffeeshop/library) it helps a lot. If it's a couple of co-workers sitting 6 feet away, it's not going to help enough unless you listen loud enough to damage your hearing. That's my experience, but I already got tinnitus from trying to drown out coworkers and have to keep music very low these days.
