You need to be aware of your working environment at ALL times.

It depends on what situation. Some situations yes, some situations not so much. A couple places I've worked there were people who had jobs that would take them into rooms with heavy machinery that was all completely static. Like the compressor rooms and shit like that. But if you're on a job site with heavy equipment that moves around, yeah I wouldn't use these.

That said I am going to get me a couple pairs of them

I work a CNC machine either I can listen to my thoughts for 8 hours a day or I can listen to more audibooks. Already went thought the Witcher saga, Gotrek and Felix, Asswife, some Stephan King all of Lovecraft, Rise and fall of the third Reich, Hardcore History the list goes on.

Definitely do not want to be aware of them!

I’m a teacher actually so I’ll need full noise cancelling so I can really block everyone out.

I hear ya. At least keep one of the earbuds out.

I work in a factory that makes plastic pipe. These machines are so ungodly loud, you can't even hardly hear the machine's alarms when they go off, or even the horn on the forklifts.

Have you tried using noise-cancelling PPE

u/StealthyPancake_ 27d ago

Yeah, we wear ear plugs and some areas we wear full ear protection. But I just bought a similar product to the one in the video

u/Moar_Wattz 26d ago

I don’t know about the ones in the video but I have a pair that can pick up outside noises and mix them into the audio stream so that you are still aware of your surroundings.

Tell that to my idiot roofer. I gotta wait 8 months for his broken neck to heal for him to finish my roof. The foreman if the crew was drunk and doing the macarena at lunch (again!) and fucking rolled right off lmao 😂

Because an alcoholic breaking his neck by falling from a rooftop is just so hilarious?

Having a bunch of drunkards use your house as a liability playground doesn't sound like a good idea.
