I'm conflicted on this one. I have really good Sony ones, and whenever I wear them for even 30 minutes, when I take them off I feel worse. I don't know if it's all in my head and they objectively don't make it worse, however I also now avoid wearing them.

I've probably used them for < 20 hours in the last year, half of that while driving long distance. My car also creates a lot of white noise.

Different tyres will change the noise of a car too.

When I bought my last car, it came with a mishmash of different brands of cheap crappy tyres. They were quite noisy all the time, but when you hit exactly 80km/h there was some kind of resonating drone as well, that was very weird...

When I replaced them with good, high-end softer tyres, the noise was reduced by a massive amount all the time, and no more drone.
