1 month agoANC isn’t protective in any way. If anything it’s probably just as damaging. It’s taking the outside signal and flipping it 180 (out of phase) and putting that in your ear to eliminate it.
Remote Audio isn’t fucking around. Those cans squeeze the shit out of your head to get that -45db, but they work very well.
If you had loudspeakers on the outside of your head, and passive attenuation in your ears, yes that would reduce pressure for you, but everyone else would have experience an increase. But adding more pressure in the cavity of your ear to reduce pressure makes very little sense.
