Ferrite beads are the right solution.
Buying a pair of corded headphones with shielding (when you whip out your multi tool and snip the display models cord in half the cross section will have a metal central core with plastic around it then metal in a donut around that) is the next step up. No, you cannot trust a manufacturer to honestly describe shielding, a professional reviewer in a magazine to correctly test this property or a website review to identify it. The ancient technique of opening something up and looking to see if it has some function was lost years ago.
Rf wireless headphones are probably a non-solution because you’re trying to block radio frequencies, not let more of them in!
Digital wireless headphones are an expensive solution that will fix the problem but you’ll feel empty inside.
I did order some ferrite beads, we will see whether they solve the problem!
Did they work just out of curiosity?
I put like six of them on the cable and they don’t fully stop the muttering but they definitely attenuated it enough to be tolerable! Thank you for the suggestion.
