Nose cancelling headphones
OMFG, my fucking nose is gone!
Fantastic work. Just excellent.
Not my creation. Found it on the Internet.
Where can I get Nose cancelling headphones? I could do with some dog is old, and his farts are a biological weapon.

Under $50?
You can get Soundcore Life Q20 for under $50 when they're on sale. They're not amazing, but they're pretty good.
For the price they are fantastic. Once you dial in a proper EQ it's hard to beat for 3x the price. This is for non flac hi res stuff like Spotify, podcasts I must say.
I have a pair, really can't complain, they're pretty damn solid
Definitely. In hindsight I undersold them, because they're a great deal and very solid headphones. I've been using mine for three years, and very much glad I have them.
The ANC is superb. When I travel on planes they beat my Sony Link Buds S earphones hands down. And they cost me Β£120. Different use cases I must admit.
Quick story, I used them while on holiday while they were doing building work next door at 5am. Loud skips and building materials. I slept like a baby for 12 hours with them on, a different story. Everyone else was complaining about being woken up.
I'm a wired headphones guy, semi or open back. Sens, Bayer, Focal etc. For the road these Q20 cans are a steal.
Mine scrapped out on me after 8 months of daily commuting
I haven't had this problem, but I have a different use case (mine are three years old, but stay in my office all the time). They don't strike me as great wear-and-tear headphones, though, for what it's worth.
Incidentally, I prefer isolating in-ear earbuds without ANC for commuting; I like to be at least somewhat aware of ambient sounds.
Highly recommend Tozo brand for cheap but effective.
I would imagine that active noise cancellation is out for under $50. Youβre stuck with passive noise cancelation if you want something with halfway acceptable sound. AKA, something that basically just plugs your ears so you canβt hear anything else.
