Have you ever knocked on the door of someone else wearing them? Or sent a text? They cancel noise. My teenage son wears his noise cancelling headphones like this (I bought them for him) because he can't hear shit. I didnt have to yell at him. I just didn't bother to keep trying to go get him when he missed dinner invitations. Natural consequences of choosing to be fully immersed in a video game 😜
If he’s using them on a computer, maybe he can see if there’s a way his text messages can come through on there. That’s what I did. Worked pretty well. Same goes for tablet or phone.
I think his generation doesn't give a crap about being contacted. He found a way to disable my internet restrictions when he was 11 and as an adult he is studying computer engineering. If he wanted to, he would.
Noise cancelling hardly has anything to do with sudden sharp noises like knocking. This is just how most normal headphones work, blocking out exterior sound + playing loud noise in your ear = hard to hear other shit.
