#theyre called cowin se7 headphones for anyone curious

i have been trying to investigate into & acquire accessibility tools to help me with my constant 24/7 state of anxiety and sensory overload and autistic shutdown because im going to be 25 in two months and have reached the lowest point in my life so far of just. no ability to function at all because im just living at 150% overstimulated and shut down as my base level of normalcy now and because of health reasons im going to have to start seriously looking into possible ways of living independently from the house im in right now (because it is not at all accessible to my safety needs mostly physically, not cuz of my moms they are rad and i love them though i also would enjoy adult independence in general just like. because i am almost 25 lol)

ANYWAYS one of the things i've been trying to focus on first is securing ways to help prevent myself from completely shutting down in the first place or even just reducing the amount of sensory related stress i live with from things like fridge humming noises/laundry/static/tv buzz/neighbors music or hammering etc etc. so i ordered some prescription sunglasses for myself from the site i get my seeing glasses from since i know it works well for me and its way less expensive than big chain places, and the other thing i did was look into good quality/comfortable noise canceling headphones suggestions from people in the 'actually autistic' tags on diff social media places i use (tiktok was extremely helpful with this which was not the place i assumed i'd find the most help from so that was a pleasant surprise lol) and eventually settled on a specific headphone model that was hundreds of dollars less expensive than most of the Best Quality™️ suggestions i saw (it feels very disappointing and frustrating to see so many genuinely great and helpful headphone suggestions and then look them up and find out they sell for 300-500 actual us dollars at retail price and not much cheaper pre-owned like.....my god. ok. not getting those i guess LMAO 😭) and long story short.

i am. in shock legitimately rn. they came in the mail like an hour or so ago and as soon as i turned them on and turned the noise canceling on it made me gasp out loud because it was just QUIET. there was peace???? no buzzing??? no tv noises, no dripping from sinks, no neighbors music blasting thru the walls, no hammering or buzzsaw noises from people outside???? i am not even slightly kidding when i say in 25 years of being forced to try and live with my brain and its triggers i have never experienced or felt or heard so little noise in my life. i cant fathom being this unbothered by every day things happening around me. it's legitimately life changing much in the same way my adhd medication felt to me the first time i took it back in like the end of 2019 and i could actually kind of focus on my thoughts for the first time ever.

its just wild. they're not like the worlds most incredible headphones or whatever but the noise canceling alone is just so mind blowing to me. i have never ever known peace like this. it makes me want to cry lol??
