I wonder if they could drown out the sound of my boss at meetings?

I know a bunch of people swear by those earbuds that fit inside the ear canal, but those just don’t sit right with me. They feel great for about 30 minutes, and then they start to hurt. I can wear the regular iPod earpieces for a few hours longer, but they too begin to hurt. I’m just happy to have comfortable headphones that block out sound on their own without fancy electronic phase-reversal magic.

I’ve come to the conclusion that he noise canceling headphones are worse canceling noise then a really well fitting pair of earbuds (something like the etymotics or sure) I have the Bose quietcomfort 1s for air travel and it does n OK job replacing the plane noise with hiss, but mostly I like them because it’s a huge sign that says “talking to me is fruitless.”
