TR Industrial Safety Ear Muffs, ANSI S3.19 Approved https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PUX97U6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_9MgqzbVV3Y4X1

I've been thinking of trying muffs instead of Ear plugs cause I am not really fond of sleeping with things stuck in my ears and end up trying to suffocate myself with a pillow to block out noise instead.

That's what I get for posting when husband and kid are bugging me nonstop!

• HyperX Cloud2s are not remotely similar to the noise cancelling headsets that Northern Arena was using.
  
  There are two kind of noise cancelling headsets used at eSports events, white noise and passive. White noise headsets are just any headsets (usually cheap gaming headsets) hooked up to a white noise generator, which blasts static over their in-ear earbuds to distort outside noise. If this was how NA was doing it and EF plugged their headsets into the white noise machine, it would be less egregious. Passive noise cancelling headsets use only the foam and stuff to cover your ears and just muffle sound. This was what was being done at NA, they were using pretty standard off the shelf earmuffs, like this:

  For this purpose, the HyperX headsets are absolutely and completely ineffective. They are not built to have the same kind of noise cancellation at all. The headsets themselves, you can literally hear normally out of them, I can conduct a speaking tone conversation with someone just fine, no way are they suitable as passive noise cancellation headsets. So no, it wasn't just "a different brand", the ones at NA were literally the type of earmuffs you use at construction sites and shit, and wearing their HyperX gear was not a suitable substitute, no matter how much Sean says they couldn't hear the casters. If you've used both, the difference is so insanely massive it's not even funny. They're not remotely the same in nature.
  
  
• The rules explicitly said that the headphones must be provided by Northern Arena. The rules were being broken.
  
  And no, "making an argument from an extreme" doesn't "show ignorance". The fact that you do not understand reductio ad absurdum is a thing, and a very valid argument... That literally shows your ignorance.
