Looking for some noise cancelling ear buds to keep in my car for public places. The more noise cancelling, the better. I would like to avoid any full eat-covering eatphones.

    I’ve been using Elgin Rebels for work (noisy factory) as they’re OSHA approved. Battery life is good and the actual “ear plugs” are pretty comfy.

    Not noise cancelling, but I always have a pair of headband earbuds around my neck. The pair I have is retractable so the earbuds are part of the neck band until I pop them in. I mainly use them with a white noise app when my tinnitus gets bad. (Having a ringing sound that you can’t escape from and that gets worse when it’s quiet is torture!)

    I’m considering either the Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro, or Space A40 currently. From what I hear they should be the best bang for the buck ANC earbuds currently.

    I would advise you to thoroughly check which earbuds feel comfy enough for long stretches of time. The best noise cancelling is useless if it comes with itching and burning :(

    I have some PixelBuds as they came with my phone - but I’m very sensitive with my inner ear and can’t wear most buds for a longer time. I can endure ear-covering headphones for much longer - but those get to warm in the summer and everyone can see them, so there are definitely drawbacks to this type.
