When traveling one of my must-have items is noise canceling headphones. I used to not feel this way but a few years ago when my husband was sleeping I stole his to watch a movie. My world was changed! They made the rest of the flight 10x more enjoyable. When I board the plane I take them out of their case, put them on, and never turn them off until it is time. I eat, sleep, and read in them! I know they can be quite expensive (that is what kept me from buying a pair) but after seeing the huge difference they made I can vouch, they are worth the investment! I personally use the Bose Quiet Comfort but if those aren’t what you are looking for hopefully I have found a pair that will make your next trip that much more enjoyable! After all, the vacay starts the moment you board. Don’t you want to make it as pleasant as possible?
PSB M4U 2 Active – $399
Why these are great? These have really comfortable ear pads and sound great – but the best part? They keep working even after the battery has drained.
Bose QuietComfort 25 Acoustic – $300
Why these are great? My personal favorite on the list. I have used these for years and they never seem to fail. With their memory-foam liners and fold-flat design they are not only comfortable but also practical. TriPort® acoustic’s makes the sound life-like and clear.
Sony MDR-NC200Ds – $201
Why these are great? Not only do they have great noise canceling capabilities they also play great base and crystal clear music. Being on the lower end, price wise, these creative headphones are a great choice if you don’t want to buy Bose. Best yet? The headphones play music without the noise cancellation engaged.
Able Planet Linx Fusion with ViviTouch 4D – $349
Why are these great? Definitely for the sensitive listener – these headphones come equipped with haptic technology which allows music to not only flow through your ears but also your bones. These headphones also protect your long-term hearing by allowing robust music to be played at lower decibels.
V-Moda XS – $199
Why are these great? These are for the adventurer at heart! Made from bendable steelflex, they are virtually indestructible. Not only do they collapse for maximum space they also put out sudio-worthy sound.
