<bunch of text eaten by HN's silly link expiry mechanism> Used to have Bose noise canceling. Worked well but was too bulky. Plus flight attendants wised up. </bunch> I have since switched to an Etymotic Research ER6i. Lightweight, in ear and works pretty well at muffling outside noise. Now if having something in your ear bothers you, these won't work. Else definitely give them a spin. tl;dr Bose before. ER 6i now. Like them. Recommended.
