Advice on headphones for noisy home and practicing music - eviltoast

Hey guys, I’m in a looking for an advice on how to deal with a situation.

I play digital piano which is connected to my computer so I can use it with a DAW. The problem is that I live in an apartment located in a very noisy street and it’s driving me crazy whenever I try to practice anything. I have an open back headphone that has a very decent sound quality, but it doesn’t provide much isolation.

So I was thinking about buying a noise-cancelling headphone for that purpose, but I fear that the noise-cancelling wouldn’t work well for that kind of environment (I heard it works well for planes, which is different from traffic noise I guess?) or if I should buy a closed headphone instead.

Does anyone here have faced a similar situation before?

    I second this - I own a pair of dt 700 pro x (dt770 refresh) I bought used for 200 bucks. These things are like gun-range ear muffs and well built.
