Not to counter your point, but because your said to try to find some, searching 'wired noise cancelling headphones'in Google immediately found options[1], although it was annoying to find the actually wired ones in the results, that do seem to exist.

- calamari4065 3y agoThe wired earbuds that shipped with my Samsung phone are noise canceling as well
- hlandau 3y agoThose are battery powered, though. (And judging by the reviews not very good, and suspiciously cheap, so not really the same quality of product.) I spent a LONG time looking for wired noise-cancelling headphones a year or two ago without success. By this I mean headphones where the noise-cancelling electronics can be powered over USB. It seemed obvious to me to design a pair of headphones with a USB audio interface which powered noise cancelling. But nope, doesn't exist. Even worse all the wireless noise cancelling headphones I find, including high end ones, automatically turn off when you charge them. So you can't actually use them when they're charging. I'm certain companies do this due to some kind of liability paranoia about a battery igniting when someone's wearing them, but the result is that the entire product class seems to be literally designed to put an upper bound on how much you can use the product. I find this insane.
