How good are noise reduction headphones (big good ones like Bose type) compared to ear plugs at blocking out?

for blocking out noise

thanks..

Ear plugs will generally block out a whole range of sounds. But in my experience, noise reducing headphones are best at reducing steady noises (like the drone of the jet engines on an airplane).

    I work in a very noisy place, and have used both. Unless you plan on using the headphones to listen to something (i-pod, FM radio, etc.) a good pair of foam earplugs will mute as much noise as the Bose.
