Default Noise reducing headphones for hearing protection?

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

Strange you should ask. Just last weekend a Bose rep was telling me that
their headphones were NOT designed to be used that way and not
recommended. I found a set of active noise reduction ear muffs at Harbor
Freight last year, but haven't seen them back in stock in some time
