The old saying you get what you pay for…..well that applies with quality headphones. Bose is the leader in the industry with its incredible sound and comfortable headphones. It is important to have 2 different sets of earphones when travelling, the Earbuds for space and convenience and the Over-ear noise-cancelling headphones for the plane. If you are trying to fill in a 12-18 hour flight most of that will be spent listing to music or watching movies, the over-ear headphones stop all the background noise and provide you with comfortable entertainment. Remember that you will need the Bose Plane adaptor and a cord that connects your headphones to the planes entertainment system. Bose is fantastic and well worth the money.
