Noise cancelling ear buds  

I'll preface this by saying I fly in uncontrolled airspace. 

I got some amazing noise cancelling earbuds for Fathers Day. Hard to grasp how but they're better than my David Clark's at protecting my ears. For the last couple of weeks I've been flying with just the earbuds on and it is very liberating. Less sweaty in this summer heat and improves My lateral Field of View. I don't need to use a radio but have one on the helicopter in case I see someone out there I can call them on the airport CTAF. Just wanted to share the wealth of knowledge I have been blessed with.
