Noise Cancelling Headphones, A Travellers Best Friend

Plane ticket, check. Passport, check. Noise cancelling headphones, check. This is how every frequent flyer should be packing for a flight!

Noise cancelling headphones have almost overtaken the passport in order of importance for air travel. Okay, maybe I am exaggerating a tiny bit, but anyone who has flown a considerable distance is painfully aware of the inescapable noise that is such an annoying part of air travel. The monotony of these sounds are not only irritating but they can also be draining and even chlostrophobic for some. Luckily for those who have discovered the wonders of noise cancelling headphones, all that can be a thing of the past.

Before noise cancelling headphones, the only practical alternative to a noisy flight was a pair of ear plugs. Not only could these get a little uncomfortable on a long flight, there was also the increased chance of ear infection. Furthermore, it was quite difficult to listen to music with ear plugs! Basically you could had a choice between the noise of the plane or the sound of your own thoughts. With noise cancelling technology however, all that has changed.

Noise cancelling headphones are basically hi-tech hearing protection with the capability to play music. The headphones can be used with or without the noise cancelling feature and although some brands are better than others, they are capable of obliterating ambient sounds that often rob you of a restful flight.

If you are interested in purchasing noise cancelling headphones then you should definitely try before you buy. Starting from the bottom of the market and working your way up the price range is the best way to go. The difference between Bose noise cancelling headphones, which are generally accepted to be the best on the market as reviewed by http://www.cancellingnoise.com and some of the cheaper versions is quite dramatic. Obviously this quality is reflected in the price of Bose's product so it is good to consider all the options before making a purchase. Nonetheless, I expect that you will be pleasantly surprised at the difference that noise cancelling headphones can make to your comfort in flight.
