> And no hearing protection.

This is not a joke. My father was a certified 'tough guy,' and figured he could do without hearing protection when using his router. That's how he ruined his hearing. There's something about the high pitched whine of a router that really messes with human ears. Because of what he went through, I never ever run my router without real protection.

Basically: What is your budget? Do you want something that is also for use outside of the data center?

I've used ANC earbuds and ANC headphones.

The buds work well - well enough for shorter stints in a data center or every day office/commute use.

The expensive headphones (MDR1000X, QC35) work incredibly well - you can still hear the noise, but I've been in the DC for hours with them and didn't mind. These things were life-changer for me.

and

are good starting points for a quick read.

There are also "industrial" types, such as https://www.amazon.com/3M-WorkTunes-Protector-Technology-90542-3DC/dp/B0146A4SWA

But they're not as comfy, don't have very good audio quality, etc. They're ear protection that happens to do FM and BT - they're not headphones with noise cancelling. They're 1/5th the price of a Bose or Sony set though...


You can also get a bluetooth ear piece and regular sound dampening "ear muffs" if you want to MacGyver it.

My husband just got these for Father's Day. He's only used them once so far, but he liked them.

I was thinking of picking up a set of these:

You should ask your boss to get them for you because you know OSHA, blah, blah, blah and then let us all know if they are any good :-)

I got these bad boys last summer.

They do the job, radio comes in clear, Bluetooth works fine. If I did it again, I'd get the AM/FM only because I never use the Bluetooth. I just don't carry a phone while doing yard work.

The only complaint is that they get hot after a while, but what do you expect?

Yeah, anything with wires hanging out seems like a bad idea. These are the ones I got: http://www.amazon.com/3M-WorkTunes-Protector-Bluetooth-Technology/dp/B0146A4SWA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1452188958&sr=8-1&keywords=3m+worktunes+bluetooth

You know what sub you're I right?

Problem solved

There is a Bluetooth model https://www.amazon.com/3M-WorkTunes-Protector-Technology-90542-3DC/dp/B0146A4SWA

Different priorities, but maybe you're looking for something like this: https://www.amazon.com/3M-Worktunes-Protection-Bluetooth-Technology/dp/B0146A4SWA

I use the 3M Bluetooth over the ear hearing protection. I can listed to music, hear my phone go off. They have a reasonable 24 dB NRR rating and are comfortable for all day wear. Don't buy the cheaper ones as they don't have Bluetooth.

I'm late to the game, but I've been pretty happy with these.

https://www.amazon.com/3M-WorkTunes-Protector-Technology-90542-3DC/dp/B0146A4SWA

I wish they were I rechargeable, but I ended up just buying 2 sets of rechargeable AAs. Batteries last at least a full day of work.

I got these about a month ago pretty happy with them, same sound damping quality of a good set of muffs, plus bluetooth.

I'll second the marking knife suggestion, but here's a couple stocking stuffer ideas:

Tiny T Precision Pocket Ruler

Bluetooth hearing protector headphones

Why not a pair of something like this https://www.amazon.com/3M-Worktunes-Protection-Bluetooth-Technology/dp/B0146A4SWA

Quick plug for these. Makes PPE enjoyable.
