Recommendations for good noise-cancelling headphones
From Conde Naste's 2005-02 edition, "Trip tech: Head Trip":
Plane Quiet Nc-6
The Plane Quiet headphones may not be as finely engineered as the Bose, but they're comfy, more than adequate for the in-flight movie, and a big improvement over the headsets the airlines provide. All in all, they're a very good value (www.planequiet.com; $60).
