I bought Joy these last year for her birthday. She was walking 2 miles a day then . Now she’s walking/ running 6 miles per day using these . I’d say they’re working . With some good tunes on , walk on baby .I just use some old airport earmuffs that work fine in my ER... but if I was spending YOUR money, I'd suggest Bose ANC.
I've used headsets with active noise cancellation for many years, usually for 5-8 hrs per day. 15-20 years ago, we had hard-wired Bose ANC headphones. Then the next generation came out without the hard-wired components and they were even better but they were $900+ per set.
Last year, my family gave me this Bose headset with ANC. It sells today for $349. It is by far the most effective and comfortable ANC headset I've ever used. It also has Bluetooth and a 3.5mm plug for use with devices or on airline flights.
If my wife is sitting next to me talking and I have this on, I cannot hear her. When I mow the lawn or use the yard blower, I cannot even hear the motors. I haven't tried it yet in my ER. I'll have to bring it aboard and see if it is better than the passive NC earmuffs.

She’s 61 and walking/ running on paved track through the words at a local park . She doesn’t do the road thing .If someone is walking/running along a roadway, listening to music or wearing headphones is a bad idea. Part of being safe is hearing cars approaching.
If walking/running where there are no cars, bicycles, etc... then it is fine.
Never thought the noise from our 855 @ 1150 rpm to be that loud, can still have a conversation in there.
Speak up, I cant hear you. My hearing aids are always 'somewhere else'.
Huh, what's that?
Muffs! They cover the whole ear/hearing system. If its really loud and/or long exposure, expanding plugs plus muffs. My cousin has tinnitus from chainsaws. Would not wish that on anyone.
Mine sounds like my head is inside a TV set from the 1950's - a sort of cacophony of high pitched electronic oscillator noises that never goes away. Not entirely unlike some of the sounds emanating from a desk top computer. Started as a kid when I had the worst cold or flu I've ever had, resulting in a roar of high pitched whines, and it never really went away when I got well, and has gotten worse over time. At least I won't die alone.Having tinnitus means you are never alone.
