Noise Cancelling Headphones
Noise cancelling headphones are provided in Business Class and First Class on most airlines and they are available on some airlines in Premium Economy.
Noise cancelling headphones “cancel” out the sound of other passengers and the engine noise. They use a variety of technologies to do this (for example “white noise”) and definitely produce much better sound quality when you are listening to music/movies/tv shows/ etc than regular headsets. If you are a frequent traveler, you may wish to invest in a set of noise cancelling headphones. Some brands are designed to pivot at the ear muffs so that they lie flat when packed which means the carry case is fairly small. They are available at stores which sell quality sound systems at branded sound system stores, like Bose and online and in the flight duty free store on some airlines.
Bose are known for their quality noise canceling headphones. Take a look at the website www.bose.com
