Am I the only one who gets nervous thinking of woodworking while wearing
headphones playing music? And ones designed to cancel outside noise, at
that?

There is still a lot of sound from tools and the shop, both direct and
ancillary, I *want* to hear when working. I want to protect my ears from
prolonged exposure to loud noise, but I certainly don't want to aurally
isolate myself from the environment.


These noise cancellation devices do not cut out all the noise, mostly the
loud noises.
