Noise canceling headphones effective on airliners?
Are noise canceling headphones effectives on airlines? Many of these headphones are advertised to be used on planes, but is the level of noise that annoying to make one of these gadgets a good purchase?
Would not travel without them, I tried the cheap ones but if you can afford the Bose Quiet Comfort they are the best on long trips. They have a cup over the ear design which means the headphone does not sit on top of the ear but rather around the ear, this makes them more comfortable.

Yes, it does help A LOT. It doesn’t completely block out the noise, but reduces it by probably 80%. It also depends on what type you get. I would suggest Bose. They work the best, and deliver the best sound quality

Yes, they are effective. You don’t realize how much low-frequency background noise there is on an airliner until you try those things while on a flight.

I travel with mine all of the time. I use a Sony pair that do a pretty good job. They reduce that overall steady engine and wind noise a lot. When I use them with my ipod I can hear the music quite clearly without having to cranking the volume up.
