Will earbuds with anc reduce loud gym music?

I have to increase the volume of my current earbuds in order to listen to my music which is harmful to the ears. If i get earbuds with anc, will they at least be able to help me hear the music in my earbuds at a lower volume? I don't want big headphones that cover the ear cuz my ears get really hot especially working out during summer

@carlsbad2  I've never heard an over the ear headphone that blocked out as much noise as my Shures do.  I'll have to go listen.

Almost any of the Shure IEM's with the yellow foam plugs will block out incredible amounts of noise.  They are like gun range ear plugs and sound really good, though the over the ear wires make them uncomfortable for some.

Also, aftermarket memory foam ear tips do a MUCH better job than the basic plastic ear tips.  Have to carefully size them for your buds though.
