They to make "passive" noise cancelling earphones. Basically, headphones that are thick and insulated enough to block surrounding noise without needing to cancel it. (Also sold w/o speakers as something construction workers would wear for ear protection.)
I like noise cancelling headphones when on an airplane, but in everyday life I tend to not like the effect either. The older ones gave me a bit of a headache. The new ones just have that pressure you describe.
- SketchySeaBeast 7y agoI may not be understanding your ask, but they do make passive noise cancellation headphones. https://www.amazon.com/slp/over-ear-active-and-passive-noise-cancelling-headphones/yfooctemyqzq34v https://www.amazon.com/slp/over-ear-active-and-passive-noise... Also, there are earmuffs and earplugs - I'm not sure what need those don't meet that a construction work requires.
- slackfan 7y agoThose kinds of headphones sans speakers don't actually do much noise cancelling. They just reduce the volume to safe levels.
