Noise canceling headphones

I just tried on noise canceling headphones. The noise canceling option works it’s amazing and i can listen to music simultaneously if I want, but it gave me some sort of unpleasant sensation like squeezing in my ears or head, it’s hard to describe it. So I decided to stay with my soft earplugs for few €. They make noises quieter but I still hear things. The only disadvantage of the earplugs is that they don’t fully cancel high pitched sounds like car brakes or tram squeak on the rails for example. Has anyone similar experience with noise canceling headphones? Do you get used to this sensation or is it only me feeling that?

  • I have Loops that cut out everything pretty much which I use a lot of the time - particularly when working. I work from home and can control the noise but still need them. When I'm out and about and may need to engage with people/environment so need to be able to hear to some degree I use noise cancelling headphones. Mine are only pretty cheap, but they do the job. I was on the train last week which was quite noisy with children, but the headphones made it bearable. It was such a relief to be able to put them on.
