A good pair of noise cancelling airplane headphones is a must-have for anyone who flies frequently or loves to travel. The consistent drone of airplane engines, ambient noise (or a crying kid in the row behind you), and other cabin distractions can keep you from sleeping or relaxing during your flight. Noise-canceling headphones help mask these distracting sounds and let you listen to music, podcasts or white noise to fall asleep and enjoy your trip. You can choose from over-ear or earbuds, but most travel headphones are wireless and come with a battery life that will last all trip long. Source

When TFG readers surveyed for favorite headphones to use while traveling, Bose noise-canceling headphones came in first place and the company’s latest model, the Bose QuietComfort 35 II, is a top-rated pick. They feature 11 levels of noise cancellation so you can tailor your listening experience to your environment and protect your hearing for longer. The comfortable fit is ideal for long flights and the built-in microphone makes it easy to answer phone calls or interact with your in-flight entertainment system.

Uninterrupted Journeys: Finding Solace with Noise-Canceling Airplane Headphones

Another great pair of noise-canceling airplane headphones is the Sony WH-1000XM4. These earbuds are Bluetooth compatible and can connect directly to in-flight entertainment systems, but you’ll also get a cable that lets you plug them in if the power runs out on your device. They’re also foldable and have a comfortable headband, making them perfect for your carry-on luggage.
