Upstairs neighbour noisy every weekend — need cheap quiet places to crash 2–4 nights/wk

I can suggest Bose quiet comfort ultra earbuds, they're $239 but it cancels out even the brown line train screeching .

Bose QC Ultra 2 vs Sony XM6

I’ve recently purchased and tested both the XM6 and Bose QuietComfort Ultra 2, and here is my brief review:

  1. Sound Quality: Slight edge to the QC Ultra 2, sound feels slightly fuller with a slightly wider soundstage, even after EQ on the XM6. Again, the difference is slight, and hard to notice.

  2. ANC

I think I’m now that neighbor

Yep. Came here to say the same thing Noise canceling earbuds are the answer. I have Bose Quiet Comfort Ultras. They're great. You can vary the level of noise cancelation to filter noise or block it completely.

Funktionsweise Noise Cancelling Kopfhörer

Nicht am falschen Ende sparen, der Unterschied zwischen "no name" und Marke, ist hier deutlich. Ich hatte mal so 40.- Eur "NC" Dinger und das war einfach nur schlecht. Jetzt, wahlweise mit Apple Air Pods Pro 2 und 3 (die 2er passen bei mir bisschen besser) oder den (falls Over Ear) Bose QuietComfort

best noise cancelling headphones for focus and reducing distractions?

They’re an investment but I love the Bose quiet comfort ultra headphones 🎧 I wear them from the moment I wake up until bedtime and they are the only thing I’ve found that has battery life that long. I even use them for work and I watch tv through them. Sometimes I just leave it on noise cancelling w
