My noise cancelling headphones.
Bose QC35s and I’ve worn them until the ear cups basically fell off, then replaced those for ~$20USD and am still getting daily use out of them.
They have made public life actually livable and music is fantastic with them, plus noisy roommates are no longer as upsetting to be around, lol.
I LOVE them. Work with them a lot of my time, they signal that I want to be left alone and I also can just not listen to my colleagues yapping
Careful not to use them too loud though studies are being done and finding that hearing loud sounds consistently especially earbuds/headphones over/in ear are killing the hairs in ear that help with keeping hearing good
I appreciate it lol, I’m very careful with my hearing and actually use them as ear protection at concerts and sports events as well!
