I spent $15 on headphones the other day. I realized that the company probably made them for less than $5, which is ridiculous. I decided to set out to make my own headphones, ones that would shut sound better. Thus, the 5 Minute Super Easy Noise Cancellation Headphones were born. Links are provided for the specific headphones and earmuffs I used on the last step.

You will need:
-Noise canceling ear muffs. I used Howard Leight LM-7's
-A cheap pair of over-the-head headphones. I got a pair of Koss KPH-6's for under $5.
-Electrical tape
-Scissors (optional)
-Around 10-15 minutes

Well documented and photographed and a different way of approaching a project that has been done before. I made a similar pair that I use for mowing the lawn. It blocks out the noise and allows me to listen to my Ipod without having to crank it up. Good job zachingves !! and I hope the negatives do not discourage you from building other projects and sharing with the community
BTW okoshima
Can you really say a survival tin (store bought ) is "original"??
"try doing something nobody else has, its more helpful than doing something alot of people have unless you can do it beyond better."
Your words.
Although such a set up would work OK it isn't noise cancelling. In fact you are doing just what a decent pair of head phones does any way - cups your ear to exclude outside sounds and provide a resonant chamber to enhance the lower frequencies.
However Good clear photographs and a clear explanation of what you did.
Well done.
I have a pair of active JCV noise cancelling ear phones I use on long haul flights - With them on and active I can hardly hear the plane engines, (about 70% reduction), but even with my music playing at a comfortable level I can still hear conversation - It's what they are designed to do - Cancel out constant noise.
plenty of people post amazing first instructables you are not one of them. try doing something nobody else has, its more helpful than doing something alot of people have unless you can do it beyond better.
