When I tried it, it was hard to meditate with stuff in/on my head. The noise was clearing, but it was cancelled by the lack of comfort. I'd say a Buddhist would call it cheating in meditation. I'd rather just put in the effort to meditate the old fashioned way and learn all I need to from the journey without synthetics. I'd liken it to drugs. (Not that they are bad, per se..)
