Got the Sony WH-1000XM4 after a long wait time before jumping on the ANC wagon. Have done probably 20 hours of flight time since then - unreal how much more enjoyable travel has been from lack of fatigue from noise and reduced volume, comfort of the actual product.
Totally hear how it could also be detrimental for other people but for me its been amazing. Also at work, drones out all other noise pretty much completely except loud voices.
Only downside is that whenever I am on a call with them or someone talks to me am obviously yelling in response :P
- ballenf 5y agoI had a similar experience with standard ear plugs (the squishy ones that go partway in the ear) with any headphones overtop. I know it sounds weird, but you then turn up the volume slightly on the headphones and can hear the relevant stuff with all the plane noise gone. Probably terrible for music, but I am usually listening to movies or podcasts.
