I have been using some earbuds for music and then some big earmuff
style hearing protectors over them. I have been shopping for
headphones and was wondering what the group thinks of using noise
reducing headphones for hearing protection. I have a feeling they only
stop normal noise and would not provide the protection I am looking
for but thought I'd ask on the off chance that I could exchange 2
things sitting on my head for just one.
thanks for any input you might have

I have a pair of noise canceling head phones. When turned on you adjust for
normal hearing. When there is a loud noise they shut off instantly. If I
clap my hands loudly in a small room I can only hear the echo of the clap
after they return to normal status.
