What kind of noise are you dealing with and how loud is it?
Frequent sound of cars and buses passing by, it's relatively loud given the apartment is located on the 3rd floor
A closed back headphones with a good seal should be able to block it out. If you're really concerned you could go with an IEM, maybe something from the Etymotic XR/SE line. They're made to block out sound for live performers, the real deal. The XR line is a bassier version of the SE line, but imo is still very neutral. If you do plan on going the Etymotic route then I'd definitely check out the insertion guide as you'll probably do it wrong the first time.
That's great, thanks for the advice!
