I do think noise-cancelling headphones are one of man's greatest achievements, and every weird kid should get a free pair when they turn 6 or so. Why wait

I have two pairs! One are the traditional over the head, and the other are ead buds. I was surprised how good the ead buds pair I have is. As someone who doesn’t do well with loud noise, these are a lifesaver.
i had this exact same problem with the Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones. From now on I'm only getting cheapies because at least I'm not spending $300 every year. Sadly this is how things are now. :/
My only counter is noise canceling makes it feel like it's sucking my eardrums out, and I can't physically stand it, I'm sure someone else feels the same, but free headphones is a great idea
I am a proud owner of apple air pod max headphones lol.
Best investment. They are a bit large and ridiculous but I can drown out the stupidity around me.
I had to adjust mine (I have Sony headphones) to account for that. I slowly got used to it but the noise cancelling is amazing and I'm mostly used to the pressure now
I also have Sony's, I just turn it off entirely, no worries, I can ignore everything pretty well without it, haha. My brain decided the pressure was bad, and I'm just here to listen to it
I work from home and picked up an over the ear pair a few years ago so I can hear callers better. Mine work great except I get in trouble when my wife walks in my office and thinks I’m ignoring her but actually I didn’t hear her come in.
My 6 yo can’t handle school assembly’s each week.. ours have been a godsend for him. Bought for a concert for him and so glad we thought to use them for this. Each week was tears to where I had to keep him home for them. Didn’t care he missed school. Poor guy was miserable. ☹️
When I bought my first pair of smart earbuds and put them in my ears, it took a sec for the noise cancel to take effect. Once it did, I felt a bunch of muscle groups in my face and shoulders relax and I actually started to cry a little. It's just so good.
Yes, I have a pair of Bose NC headphones … but they are expensive, and earplugs get you about 95% there … I use them, earplugs, nearly full time … much more discrete …

On the other hand, I also would have expected teachers to confiscate those.
