You can't compare wired and open back design with Bluetooth headphones.

Anyway, I own a Meze 109 pro, and cheap iems with 3M hearing protection that I use when my commute is too noisy. Replace nicely my old ANC headphones.

Something like that, comfort is crap, but then again, it's mainly to cut loud people chatters in bus or train. https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/p/d/v101643027/

And also I am a bit apprehensive for long term hearing lose with ANC headphones.
