I’ve got a audio/tech question, maybe someone here might have some insight into.

I’m in need of noise cancellation for various and sundry reasons. i own a pair of BOSE ANC headphones which are tits, but have been looking for a pair of GOOD ANC earbuds that don’t cost $300 bucks, and had an idea that all ANC appears to be, when you break it down, is sound that the earphones/earbuds produce which bounce around in the ear canal and hit the ear drum in certain ways as to “cancel” out various types of background noise.

Again the ANC on my BOSE are amazing. Does anyone know, or have even heard of (no pun intended) anyone who has produced “noise cancelling” sound files?

It seems as if noise cancelling hardware like earphones are producing sounds that cancel out noise, mp3/flac files of “noise cancelling” sound could be on offer somewhere.

Dunno, figured i’d ask. Hope this is the right place to do that, and I’m not breaking any rules, I didn’t know where else to post this.

    thanks, if they only made hatch sleep earbuds (which also work as regular earbuds normally) i’d order them today. bose makes a pair of sleep earbuds, but they’re like 300 bucks, and they don’t cancel sound so much as play prerecorded sleeping sounds (seemingly like these hatch speakers do, which i can’t image work anywhere near as well as in in ear canal solution), and the bose “sleeps” or whatever can’t be used as normal earbuds to watch tv or listen to music or make phone calls, so, yeah, but appreciate the thoughtful response

      Have you looked into bone conduction headphones?

      Fidelity goes up (!) when you plug your ears. I use them in server rooms and on my bike (sans the earplugs).

      Aftershocks is a good brand, basically anything with a titanium band.
