A:Answer I have similar issues and for the most part they help. I would go to a local Best Buy that has this product on display that helped make my decision. They were the best that I could find. In open spaces it doesn’t work the best like outdoors or in public spaces (e.g. malls, airports, etc.) you can still hear noises even though they are pretty muted, but indoor environments (e.g., work spaces, classrooms, cars, at home) they work very well and can’t hear most sounds especially if I’m playing music/white/brown noise through them. It’s definitely not perfect, but it’s the best I could find for the price and I have slept in them several time very comfortable for long wear times
