Is there a such thing as dead silence headphones?

Look into shooting gear. Zero noise is close but the vibrations your body feels is going to be there.

Yep. Your 1958 chink vs m4, 2010.

Anyway, this is about headphones.. OP can find the best, not your old crap.

Take a look here:

Don’t those deliberately allow you to hear conversations so you can still here someone say coming up behind you etc ?

I havent tried it but I would try noise cancelling headphones with no music supplied.

RS you a correct. I think a snip or so could eliminate all sound. Just my guess. If it can block my m4 it can block anyting allowable.

OP can move to quiet co.

They deliberately allow you to hear people speaking so they can tell you that you are about to cut your leg off etc.

They all deliberately allow you to hear conversation.

There's a reason that the ones used for sleeping have white noise etc.

Just buy sound cancelling head phones and don't plug any music into them. The "headphone" part is a fraction of the sound canceling part so just think of it as something they threw in free. I use mine on the plane and I don't always have any sound plugged in. This is not total silence but if you had ear plugs and a sound canceling head phones it would be pretty quiet.

Not yet.

Why you need to try is something to shut you up, to cancel the BS coming out, you senile kangaroo humper.

The electronic ones do. My cheap muffs don't completely block conversation. Muffs with earplugs can get pretty quiet.

I don't think absolute silence is possible. First he'll here his pulse in his ears and then he'll start hearing voices.

Electronic ear muffs will let in low db sounds and block higher but only up to a point. They will usually tell you the db reduction and I have never seen any advertised to completely block sound. When I target practice I wear ear plugs and muffs but can often converse and hear without removing them.

Good idea. I tried those before my recent plane flights and they worked pretty well. Unfortunately I cleaned them. They had 30 years of dust on them. They had been very comfortable to wear, but after I cleaned them I thought they would get sticky and sweaty after a while. Of course I didn't know that but I didn't want to wait until I was half-way across the Atlantic to find out.

And I was in a spendthrift mode. Someone here recommended the noise cancellation headphones at Monoprice.

They work without any music input, or any input. Just slide the switch on the side.

And there's an assortment of cords and adapters to connect with almost anything, including airplanes.

But the earphones to keep the noise of chainsaws out of your ears are good too.
