Get a pair of Bose noise canceling headphones. They do what you describe above for your ears only. Very portable and much less destructive.
Buy passive insulating headphones, they usually work better.
Have you considered some good headphones with no music playing? Less stigma, same functionality.
Unless you get sound canceling headphones.
I use noise cancelling headphones for this. It's not perfect, but it helps a lot.
Is using headphones without sound still bad?
Yeah, generally ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) headphones can help. IEMs that block sounds are even better than ANC headphones.
Get headphones that block out noise and then play your music at a normal volume.
Noise cancelling headphones don't really drown out conversations. You should get in-ear headphones.
Get some ear pods that have active noise cancelling. Only way to survive.
