It's an exceedingly tiny "gift" but if you're interested in noise cancelling earbuds, I found Soundcore by Anker on amazon for $60. I'm not affiliated. I'd started using foam earplugs after developing both hearing loss and tinnitus. Likely from long hours in the saddle even with a full-face helmet and fully faired bikes. (don't screw around with your hearing!) I used a buncha different ear plugs for a number of years and felt like they did the trick for me, but for $60 I was curious. Just one man's opinion, but I like 'em a lot. YMMV. If I use just the noise cancelling option, all I hear is the tinnitus. Very little road or engine noise. BUT for me, when I add music or radio it's great. Pro tip: Bossa nova and curvy country roads. Ride safe and happy holidays!
 
Do you mean these for $45???

Souncore Space A40

To me those look a little big. For me, big = pain as the helmet pushes on them against my ear.

Do they actually block noise? IOW, if the noise cancelling and music were off do they block the roar of ambient noise like a foam ear plug?

I have been using the S-Plug for years due their small size and the fact that they are so small and soft. Very good speaker quality too.
