I have those, but with the Bluetooth connection. I rarely use the Bluetooth feature, usually because my hands are too busy (or dirty) to want to keep playing with the phone, so I most often just listen to the radio.
I didn't know they were being phased out! Do you know if there's a replacement? I'd love these to be noise-canceling. They're OK while doing most things, but when I'm mowing with the tractor, and especially when blowing snow, I can't really hear the music, and feel like if I keep cranking it up, I'll just make the abuse on my hearing even worse.

I fell behind the consumer electronics curve long ago and never got into iTunes or streaming or anything like that. I'm content with radio, for my headphones. Anything more, I fear, would be more fiddling, and keeping phone with me in sweaty/dirty/busy/productive moments.
Northern Tool shows a listing but it's NLA. Again, mine was AM/FM/you-can-plug-an-audio-cable-into-it-for-MP3-or-radi-jack, not Bluetooth, so $50-$60 zone.
That's where I bought my first pair. There are much more expensive 3M Worktunes listed now. However, there is also a fairly similar looking DeWalt one for $50ish. (Then again, the controls on the DeWalt remind me of the very first AM/FM/ear muffs I bought, which were an off-brand purchase to save money, and they were meant for Asian-sized ear and skull sizes and literally hurt to wear! So no money saved at all. Hence the 3M purchase, and happiness after that.)
My noise problems in the past were mostly in an office environment with loud, jabbering coworkers. (Loud, stupid, constant, those three combined are the worst and found together so often.) I used to wear over-the-ear headphones and put in foam earplugs, too, then crank the rockin' tunes on CD, and then I wouldn't hear them. I later would move up to 3M Peltor of the highest dB cancelling capabilty, and ear plugs, too, on the worst days, but that was tuneless.
I also got some Bose noise-cancelling headphones (not cheap!) and I found they don't cancel loud person 35 feet away but they sure do a great job on HVAC background white noise you didn't realize was there -- and where they really impressed was just the high fidelity sound!
For a mower, I might try 3M Worktunes (which don't have an impressive dB reduction, really) but with earplugs. I don't know anything about active noise cancellation for industrial noise like mowers.
These are the best muffs I've found, for just plain blocking out noise. 31 dB reduction, the 21 in the product headline is a typo:
All this because I couldn't smack a coworker and yell at them to shut up.
OK, I also use the mighty Peltors in the shop when things are getting serious.
. Said I saved like $193 lol. I’m like yeah I bet lol. My cost was like $46 something with the bucket included.

Seller sent calibration proofs, and I asked him to throw in the 725! 
He laughed… then said; 
”Naw.”
Just one of those; “I don’t need one… just want one” things.
