This is probably the way, but I like the noise cancelling.
Not being able to hear your surroundings (people shouting, sounds of danger, malfunctioning equipment) is pretty dangerous in a shop. You do you, but I wouldn’t let anyone wear earbuds, especially noise cancelling ones in my shop.
I get your point, but its pretty standard to wear hearing protection when operating loud machines no? The buds themselves will block just a bit of the noise and the ANC reduces certain sounds like a running vacuum, but at least mine are nowhere close to being completely soundproof so you still hear just as much as when wearing ear protection. If anything I worry more that they are not as well suited for hearing protection as dedicated ear plugs and I could damage my hearing wearing them…
I think what I really should be doing is wearing disposable ear plugs and then just turning up the volume on the stereo. Earbuds with ANC might be better than nothing, but afaik they aren’t rated for hearing protection.
