5 years ago, I got a pair of Sennheiser over-the-ear noise-cancelling headphones for long flights after realizing how loud I had the volume turned up on earbuds. I'm happy enough with them, but they're too plasticy for the price and rather bulky for traveling (so I'm considering Airpods Pro), but on a flight, noise canceling is absolutely not a gimmick.

- luizfelberti 5y agoJust an FYI here for those unaware, but Sennheiser recently sold off their consumer headphone division [0], so the future of Senn's great headphones is very much a mystery at the moment [0] https://www.theverge.com/2021/5/7/22424367/sonova-buys-sennheiser-consumer-business-headphones-soundbars https://www.theverge.com/2021/5/7/22424367/sonova-buys-sennh...

- prometheus76 5y agoHave you looked at Audio-Technica noise-cancelling headphones? Better sound than the popular Bose ones, but with a cheaper price tag.
