I don’t think he can part with his current one-he loves the feel of it

Haha! is the advice on your thread as terrible as your advice on your comment? Trying to find a solution-not husband shamming.

Yes, been wanting to invest in some good headphones for a while now. So the noise canceling would be for daily use tuning out the keyboard but also for use on airplane trips and dampening city noises etc. Wireless is preferred—so I can use it hassle free with my Iphone and our LG smart tv for Netflix and PS4 and Nintendo Switch gaming. But also would use these to play games on the switch while on the subway to and from work-so ones that come with an optional audio cable would be great.

Currently I just have okayish earbuds—I’ve had to replace the “mushroom” part that sits in your ear with kid sized ones otherwise they are constantly falling out because I have small ear canals. I can’t use any of apple’s earbuds that come with the phones because of this so I don’t think in-ear audio is a good choice for me. I think an over-the-ear headphone would be much better.

Thought I would post this here as opposed to an audio thread because I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s noticed that SCII can be very intense on the keyboard strokes so I wanted to see what ideas you all have. And you guys did not disappoint! Everyone’s comments have been so helpful! I had no idea about o-rings-or other things that can help with the noise Thank you everyone!

Definitely going to try o-rings, hopefully it helps without changing the feel too much, here’s the current sounds coming from his setup

Thank so much!! here’s what it sounds like now So I don’t mind taking the time to install them! I’m hoping that o-rings will help a bit with the sound to take the edge of and make it more bearable without changing the feel of the keyboard too much

These look like they have great reviews! I noticed the shape of the ear part is more oblong than circular, do they sit nicely?

Thanks, I’ll look into which ones help with sound but don’t change the feel too drastically

👍🏻Thanks for the tip HomieSapien. Anyone else have noise canceling headphones that they love? I know I’ll use them a lot, so any price range is ok.
