Currently I use a set of Etymotic MC5/MK5s (not sure which version) when mowing the lawns etc. as they offer great isolation when undertaking loud tasks.
The sound quality and isolation is great, however I've got a fairly large block of land and my ears hurt by the time I've finished the lawns (takes a few hours) - is it safe to use noise cancelling headphones when doing loud works?
I'm basing this post off the thought that the noise cancellation works by playing the opposite of the environmental noise to cancel it out, please let me know if this is not how the noise cancelling works.
