FWIW you can also turn the noise cancelling off, and change its level. Can just have them on passive basically foamie plugs. Or where they transmit sound at a reduced rate.

But do, I repeat do NOT, go on Youtube and search for videos of ear cleanings.
On a scale of "Oh that's a cute puppy" to "OMG WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU", they're right behind the pimple popper videos. Don't do it.
With experience comes wisdom.
Unpossible. I’m actually weird about cleaning my ears and errrrytime a Dr has looked in them they’ve commented on how clean they are.
This description nails it:
“The canceling of external sound waves with phase inversion creates a sort of sucking effect within your ear, which your brain will likely mistake for a pressure difference.”

So, it’s like a cilantro thing. Some people love cilantro, others are annoying about it.
I’m in the middle on that one. Sometimes it’s good, sometimes it tastes like soap.
I've had the Beats Fit Pro for maybe 18 months? Can't remember exactly when they came out but they are great. They have levels of noise suppression, which I turn off, good battery life and they stay in my ears really well.
I had some custom molds made of my ears maybe 7-8 years ago by Troy from WC which were amazing. The audio drivers in them weren't great (there were lots of options, I just stayed on the economical side) but the fit and noise suppression were fantastic after getting used to them for a week. I lost them somewhere along the line which has been devastating. I can't remember how much they were, but compared to the wireless options out there now they weren't bad. I'd guess between 250-350 at the time. I'll end up with another pair at some point because of how comfortable they were. And because I'd actually wear them when the environment was loud.

I just bought my wife a label maker for Mother's Day....
I think I'm more excited about it than her.
I want to get one of the ones that prints on heatshrink tubing

I didn't know that was a thing! That'd be great for wire organization.

I have that label maker... the font is TERRIBLE. Can barely read it if at all
It’s not a tool in the traditional sense but this thing f’n rocks if you’re always warm like me. Wifey got it for a D-land trip in Sept because she’s heard good things but I rock it whilst in the shop working on stuff- or when I come in the house from the scorching heat outside and want to cool down faster. It’s nice.

A buddy has been rocking similar on desert trips for a few years. He has a fan for his tent, too...

These Diablo steel ripsaw blades are such a game changer, I can't get over them. I'd rather have a plasma, but compared to an angle grinder these are 5x as fast and make cuts 10x cleaner. I forget who mentioned them first on here but thank you.
