i use my apple gen 2 airpods and the noise cancellation is not nothing, but it's all still no match for traffic noise, which is what i really want something for. i do still wear them in the cafe and they help, tho like others, i wonder if they're really just destroying my hearing even faster. i also have some model of these Jabra call center-type headphones with the slide down/out microphone boom. They don't have active noise cancellation, i don't think?, but they're pretty good at just keeping out outside noise. if i have anything do with it, everyone on my calls/zooms must use a headset and microphone -- i don't want garbage echoing and reverberating and people missing things just because someone is too lazy to get a quality audio setup. ditto podcasts -- 'professional' podcasts and i hear the main show host's voice echoing off his own walls? f** is wrong with you? for my coworkers, we're remote, great, but take this shit seriously, at least on my time. :) these particular Jabras i have are too tight on my ears - i need to see if i can make them clamp with a bit less force. https://www.jabra.com/business/office-headsets/jabra-evolve/jabra-evolve-65##6599-839-409 https://www.jabra.com/business/office-headsets/jabra-evolve/... getting true hearing-protecting headphones of some type so that i can walk/jog/be on the street without cranking the volume up to eleventy would be so legit. there's a ton of noise, but if we got rid of just car tire noise, we'd probably be good.
