Default Is there a such thing as dead silence headphones?

Hi All,

Is there a such thing as passive or electronic dead silence
headphones? Not music headphone. I want dead silence.
No talking, no TV's, no air cleaners, etc..

I search for noise cancelling headphone and only found
music headphones.


Many thanks,
-T

Look into shooting gear. Zero noise is close but the vibrations your body feels is going to be there.

Yep. Your 1958 chink vs m4, 2010.

Anyway, this is about headphones.. OP can find the best, not your old crap.

Dont those deliberately allow you to hear conversations
so you can still here someone say coming up behind you etc ?

I havent tried it but I would try noise cancelling
headphones with no music supplied.

RS you a correct. I think a snip or so could eliminate all sound. Just my guess.
If it can block my m4 it can block anyting allowable.

OP can move to quiet co.

They deliberately allow you to hear people speaking so
they can tell you that you are about to cut your leg off etc.

There's a reason that the ones used for sleeping have white noise etc.

Just buy sound cancelling head phones and don't plug any music into
them.
The "headphone" part is a fraction of the sound canceling part so just
think of it as something they threw in free.
I use mine on the plane and I don't always have any sound plugged in.
This is not total silence but if you had ear plugs and a sound
canceling head phones it would be pretty quiet.

Why you need to try is something to shut you up, to cancel the BS coming
out, you senile kangaroo humper.

The electronic ones do. My cheap muffs don't completely block
conversation. Muffs with earplugs can get pretty quiet.

I don't think absolute silence is possible. First he'll here his pulse
in his ears and then he'll start hearing voices.

None work. I still get the voices in my head. The tin foil hat is the
only thing that stops them. Damned government control.

Electronic ear muffs will let in low db sounds and block higher but only
up to a point. They will usually tell you the db reduction and I have
never seen any advertised to completely block sound. When I target
practice I wear ear plugs and muffs but can often converse and hear
without removing them.

Good idea. I tried those before my recent plane flights and they worked
pretty well. Unfortunately I cleaned them. They had 30 years of dust
on them. They had been very comfortable to wear, but after I cleaned
them I thought they would get sticky and sweaty after a while. Of
course I didn't know that but I didn't want to wait until I was half-way
across the Atlantic to find out.

And I was in a spendthrift mode. Someone here recommended the noise
cancellation headphones at Monoprice.

They work without any music input, or any input. Just slide the switch
on the side.

And there's an assortment of cords and adapters to connect with almost
anything, including airplanes.

But the earphones to keep the noise of chainsaws out of your ears are
good too.
