I've had a good run with some edifiers (820 I think?) as spares and am looking at these among others. 48dB sounds hilariously high though - 24dB is what aviation headsets do passively and also IIRC basic certified ear muffs for industrial noise. Given that each three dB is a halving of noise, 24/3 = 8 so are they saying it's 1/256th of the noise coming through compared to my old David Clark headset? Doubt.

FWIW my Bose history includes 25s, 35s and 700s. They all do well in windy cars etc whereas the Edifiers often do not. And the Bose 700s can make people think I'm at home when I was actually driving at 110kph in an mx5 for hours. Beyond the basics, the real world noise rejection and microphone performance is more important than some impressive number, even if true. Oh and sound quality would be nice :-). Might give some a go.

The credibility of this person is quesionable

Did an editor see this article at all? "Nomes" should have been "nodes" but even that isn't the correct term. The name was changed about eight months ago to "Settlements", and they're not individual worlds as you made it sound like. They're boundaries of land all in the same game world, like counties in a state.
The pyramid scheme you said Steven promoted, an MLM as some call them.. It's strange you mentioned that but didn't expand further. It makes Steven look bad, but if you or anyone who reads your article does their own research info would be found that he was involved in one in the past once. Big deal.
