I had these. They had the option to rent, rather than buy, for something like $10/month. Sound was amazing, maybe the best I've heard, apparently that funky in-ear thing allows it to customise the sound profile to your eat canal. Build quality was superb. After a couple of hours or so they'd start hurting where it pressed inside the ear. I stuck with it for a couple of months in case I could adapt, didn't, so sent it back and cancelled subscription, all with no drama or regrets. Still miss the quality of the sound though.
In the dankpods video someone linked here, it is explained that these headphones separate the mids and highs through the in-ear plugs and then the "cups" play the bass, making these actually really good sounding apparently. But they are/were like 500 bucks (or 10 a month as a subscription)
I've had those! It sounded like such a tech bro bs at first, then I found them secondhand for a steal. The whole "it adjusts to your ear canal" actually does something! In the end what made me sell them was use on the go. Every bump or movement of your head made the in ear part move and thus make weird noise cancelling sounds when that happened.

Why does this look less like a sex thing and more like a Mighty Boosh thing?

Came here to make an HR Giger joke but this is much better

That's funny because I almost made a Giger joke because I wasn't sure how to spell his name (I looked it up).

I really, really do not want to know what they did with the ones from the cancelled subscriptions

Hopefully an alcohol bath for non-replaceable parts and contact parts were replaced entirely

Just stick the nipples in your ears and quit complaining.

I mean if you work in a very loud environment, there is not a lot of other ways to do this

I mean you could wear noise cancelling ear buds with regular over the ear earphones, or have earplugs in with over the ear headphones?
This is basically the first by the looks of it

Afaik This is a ear protection unit with comm device and yes an old one.
Normally depending on your environment bone conductive ones won't work.

Lick them before wearing to ensure you get the complete Wet Willy experience.
