Noise canceling earphones pairing with car audio system
These cars are not exactly what you would call quiet on certain road surfaces. I am sure noise cancelling headphones would work well to help on a long trip. I know the earphones will pair with my phone but am curious as to whether they will pair to the cars sound system to enable radio listening. Has anyone successfully done this? If so what brand/model headphones were used?
A Bluetooth driver does not know, nor really care what device is on the other end. If the device (earbuds or headphones) offers Bluetooth media service then it will pair. I doubt it'll over Bluetooth phone service however and I believe in many states wearing full-sized headphones while driving will get you a ticket. And quite frankly, Bluetooth earbuds that supposedly cancel noise probably don't cancel that much noise.
Wait! Strike that. Your wanting to connect from the car to the headphones. I don't think the car offers such a thing. IOW the Bluetooth connection is only going into the car, not from the car.
That won't work as far as I know. The car is a BT receiver not a transmitter.
This. Your car receives BT from a transmitting source, (phone), and then amplifies that and sends sounds to the car speakers. You could pair the headphones to your phone and listen that way, but I don't think you can pair two devices at the same time.
Why in the world would anyone want to risk driving with noise cancelling ear phones. I want to hear any horns, sirens, whatever warning devices are sounding off when I'm driving.
A better option if the road noise is really getting to you is a pair of musician ear plugs. I use these when I ride my motorcycle on long trips. They still allow you to hear enough that your safe, but it blocks out loud ambient noise that makes you tired.
Oh man, some of the cars I've had, the C7 is positively tomblike inside. It's an excellent road trip car, however I respect that others will have different views. For me at least, these cars are really refined and quiet inside when just cruising in 7th.
As far as the C7 being "positively tomblike" inside, have you ever driven on a worn concrete road?? Sound level depends on how worn your tires are and the surface they are rolling on.

Heh, in Central Florida, there are more than a few roads like that. Here's another question, ever ridden on such roads in a 2011-2014 body style Mustang? Hell, I think Chevy's trucks ride better.
If you block out your surroundings and the ambient noise, that long trip you're taking maybe become a short trip. To a morgue. Be safe not stupid.
Hardly! Obviously, you've never used noise-canceling headphones. They don't block out all sounds, they just reduce certain annoying frequencies. IOW you can still hear things like a car horn honking or skidding, etc. Sure it may be outlawed in some states but the reasons for that are dubious at best. You hear far less of your surrounding by turning up the radio (headphones or not) than reducing harsh noise and blasting the stereo over long distances can lead to pounding headaches which again are far worse than noise cancelation.
Just turn the volume of the radio up and it's illegal to drive with both ear buds in anyway I believe.
Been my solution since I got my September 2013 built 2014 Z51! That was a 3LT, now have a 2LT and IMO, the added rear subwoofer is a help in drowning out noise!
To keep by ~60 year driving record of no accidents with another car I also have my iPhone set no to receive calls while moving! Keep all my attention on the foolish distracted drivers! Plenty of time to answer the many meaningless emails, text and Instant Messages" when I stop!

Same here. My previous car (Nissan 350Z) was LOUD, the C7 is actually quiet in comparison.
If cutting down noise is desired then you'll need to do a full interior strip and sound proofing with Dynamat or similar. Also look into different tires as the OEM run-flats are louder then other tires.

Sounds like a good idea until you look at what folks have tried since I got my September 2013 built 2014 Z51!
The only quantitative dB data shows modest gains with even the two layer Crazy Cowboy system that takes a professional to install, adds significant weight and the materials cost ~$450.
May not like it, but drowning out the “noise” works for me! My sound system starts playing >1000 songs in shuffle mode when the car starts, Seldom off! Easier than removing all carpet (especially behind the seats, door panels wheel well covers etc.)
Lots of area to cover, many have included sound insulation behind the door panels.

You need to buy better noise cancelling headphones!
