If we could make a seal that blocks out all noise small (and confortable) enough to fit around a headset, we wouldn't need the whole NC setup.

Earplugs below my bose headset work wonder to block out anything short of cataclysmic, but it's hardly practical. And I can't exactly play music with those on...



It's funny because the best passive noise canceling IEMs are basically ear plugs with drivers in them. Blocks background noise as well as ANC but only weigh a few grams.


Your ears do breathe. So that’s problematic for long term hermetic ear seals.
