Buy Noise Canceling Headphones
Do your ears a favor and stop cranking up your iPod’s volume up to 90% to override the airplane engine noise while flying. Trying to overpower the airplane will only result in permanent hearing damage. Instead, travel in luxury with a new set of noise canceling headphones from Bose, Sony, or AKG. But which one? Read the following reviews and find the best noise canceling headphones available.
Sony MDR-NC50
Coming in at only about $170, this sony model of noise canceling headphones is a pretty good deal. They offer the Over-the-ear design and have many good features. When you want to cancel noise, just hit the switch on the headphones and enjoy the quiet. They have good sound quality, and are foldable so they can be stored away easily in an accompanying carrying case. I had a chance to test out a friend’s Sony MDR-NC50 headphones, and I enjoyed them very much. They are a quality set of noise canceling headphones.

AKG K 28 NC
This very travel friendly set of noise canceling headphones are small, comfortable, and more portable than other, larger sets of noise canceling headphones. They offer great sound quality, and cost around $130. Because of the small size of headphones, they do have a separate, attached battery pack with a powerswitch that controls the noise canceling capabalities. A complete review of the AKG K 28 NC can be found at CNET.
Bose QuietComfort 2
The Bose Quiet Comfort 2 noise canceling headphones are the cream of the crop when it comes to headphones. Their amazing sound quality and noise canceling capabilities are evident in their price tag: $299.
They run for 35 hours on one AAA battery, and output great sound unblemished by outside sound. They are big and bulky though, and are not very traveler friendly as they take up a lot of space. But if you want the best noise canceling and sound quality, the Bose Quiet Comfort 2 headphones are the ones to get.
