Noise Cancelling Headphones Airplane Travel Apple

Have 2 other Bose Noise-Cancelling headphones over the years and I always felt somewhat disappointed in the quality of the noise cancelling, but figured this is what it is. Now I know differently. These Sony headphones literally shut down nearly all the noise where I can't hear anyone talking to me and priced reasonably, unlike the Bose or Apple headphones.

I may not be an expert on headphones as I’ve primarily used Apple EarPods for the last several years and never used noise cancelling in the last decade. However these headphones have changed my mind in what is possible. Clear sounds, noise cancelling is almost magical and easy to pair and use. I haven’t used any of the advanced features like pairing to two devices, but the touch interface to pause, skip, ets works well. It also pauses music when you take the headphone off and plus when put back on your head. That is pretty nice. Overall very happy with the is purchase.

Best noise cancelling headphones in the market right now

Received these before a recent trip and was blown away by the noise cancelling quality! The minute it kicks in, it drowns out all the airplane noise and I was able to listen to some calming music to fall asleep to and slept so well. Absolutely love them!

I am loving my new headphones, cleanest sound ever and a good noise cancelling.

These are great headphones and I really love the noise cancelling feature.

Great as Bluetooth headphones, over the ear wired headphones and noise cancelling.

Ive had several other noise cancelling headphones by Bose (QC35 II) and Beats (Studio Wireless) and I always hailed Bose as king of Noise Cancelling headphones. Now the only thing that Bose has over Sony is the durability of the headphones, my Bose headphones I could pretty much bend however I wanted and they wouldn't break. The Sony's are a bit more stiff, but the material is still premium! I originally went with Bose because of their comfort though, I like to wear my headphones for an extended period of time and the old Sony's (XM1 and XM2) got uncomfortable after a few hours. With the new design however, I can see myself wearing these all day! What does Sony have to offer that's better than Bose? - Noise cancelling (much better) - Sound quality - Battery life - Customization through app - Accessories (better quality auxiliary charger cords, as well as a good airplane adapter!!) - USB-C Charger!!! (as a MacBook Pro owner this was a must, I hated micro-usb so much) - Comfort? (I'm still testing this out but ill update in a few weeks if its better or on-par with the Bose QuietComfort 35 ii)

With COVID-19 and the stay at home order Noise Cancelling Headphones became a necessity for me. I tried a competitor's headphones and decided they were not good enough I could still hear everyone talking. Then I bought these. Amazing sound quality, lightweight, easy pairing, power saving, noise cancelling is wonderful! I can't hear a thing that's going on outside of the headphones.

These are not noise-cancelling headphones, but they are close. They are also heavy. If that bothers you, look elsewhere.
