Ear defenders / noise cancelling headphones

Haha u r welcome 

That really made me smile and laugh, thank you!

Just realised I looked at this thread title last night and thought 'Eastenders and Noise Cancelling

Headphones? What's that about?' Might be time for an eye test. 

Id never heard of those. They look really good

Have you heard of Loop Earplugs? Apparently they are really good.

I use Vanderfields. They are comfortable, can be worn with glasses, and slim meaning they are rather discreet. I got mine for around ten pounds and they have held up very well over the past year. 

I have just ordered the yellow screwfix ones, thank you. they looked quite good. I didnt think the red ones looked as comfy.

Yes I understand what you mean about your head going to a point. Mine sort of fizzes and then feels like its going to explode, I kinda picture the mushroom cloud from a nuclear bomb, thats what it feels like

Yes, they will work fine around the house, I wear industrial ear defenders at work as I do a lot of metal grinding and have tinnitus. Get the Screwfix app. they have a good range, I use the yellow ones, they are £7.49, the basic red ones are £3.49. I sometimes go to our village pub, small children can do that shriek that makes the top of your head go to a point, hope this helps.

I dont think I can afford them at the moment, money is quite tight. I am looking to have them more for around the house, my toddler screams so loud when he is having a meltdown or upset about something and I feel I could be much more able to help him if I wasnt getting so destressed by the noise 

Do you think ordinary builders ones from B and Q would work?

I've used Skullcandy Hesh Evo before, they are over the ear headphones and thus will negate quite a bit of sound without adding in the noise cancelling aspect.
I'd recommend going with something that is comfortable to wear and wont make you look out of place.

Hi, I use Soundcore Q20 noise cancelling ear phones. Can be used just on noise cancelling or obviously link to an iPhone or other to listen to music, I use mine at night to listen to audiobooks. They are about £50 but I think there is a 15% voucher on Amazon at the moment. You can go up to £200 for Bose but I don’t have that budget. Very impressed with the Soundcore and good write ups. You can wear them in public and don’t look out of place.
