I mustn’t strangle her

And as she does so, she walks back and forth throughout the house. There is no escape. Anywhere on the main floor to which I might retreat, she will be there within two minutes—have I mentioned that her side of the conversation is frequently conducted at a volume that might suffice to be audible across town sans cellular technology?—and I flee for silence. I really need to find a different domestic routine for the balance of my retirement. cordially,

The have not only a very flat frequency response and excellent clarity (great for classical, jazz, vocals, and so on), but also (and more relevant to your situation) a noise reduction ability of 35-42dB. I put these in at work in our very loud open office environment and I cannot. Hear. Anything. Not the person on the phone pacing in front of my desk, not the yelling of the interns, not the Sonos. Just sweet, sweet music. Much better than active noise reduction, which is much better to block out droning noicse and can actually enhance your ability to hear external voices and such.
