True.

But I bought them now and am past the return window so I got to live with it.

I actually bought them mostly for sleeping, as they have the best noise-cancelling for their size. I have trouble sleeping and these really do help a lot.

But you're right, they are heavily overpriced

I need something to help keep noise down when I sleep as I work overnights.

I use inexpensive disposable earplugs...

I tried those. I tried the disposable ones, the wax ones and the memory foam ones, but the low frequencies still pass through. That's where active noise-canceling shines. Like my neighbour has a deep booming voice and if they're having a conversion, and I'm trying to sleep the ANC earphones are the only thing that shuts it out.
