[Shop-talk] Is this thing still on? <Thanksgiving and Leaf Blowers>

[Rochlin Robert]

	I’ve used noise cancelling headphones that fit in the ear for years. I use them with my backpack leaf blower, lawn mower, and snow blower. Not only are they extraordinary at canceling the engine noise, I can listen to music or podcasts while I’m working of have no input and just enjoy not being assailed by the engine  noise.
	Best,
	Bob
