This is terrible advice no one should follow if listening to a siren up close. Noise cancelling headphones use certain frequencies to cancel out ambient noise entering the seal of the can on the skin. They provide absolutely no protection against sound pressure. For that you need something heavy duty like what is used when guns are fired at a range or for industrial applications.washington wrote: ↑Tue Jan 16, 2024 6:47 amJust use some standard headphone style hearing protection or you can use some noise cancelling headphones like AirPods Pros.

Sorry man, all I have listened to up close is a Modulator and it worked fine.Randomizer wrote: ↑Tue Jan 16, 2024 10:35 amThis is terrible advice no one should follow if listening to a siren up close.

That makes sense that it worked for a modulator, but never do that even if it worked in the past. It is a more steady tone, and noise canceling is meant for steady tones, like an aircraft or a lawnmower or something.washington wrote: ↑Wed Jan 17, 2024 3:56 amSorry man, all I have listened to up close is a Modulator and it worked fine.Randomizer wrote: ↑Tue Jan 16, 2024 10:35 amThis is terrible advice no one should follow if listening to a siren up close.
