Bose noise cancelling headphones

[Ari]

I was on a trip a month ago and at the airport a guy I was with said 'try these' and handed me a set of Bose noise cancelling headphones. Put them on, he flicked the switch on the side and it was incredible - like someone had turned the volume from 8 to 2. Didn't get a chance to try them on the plane as he was on a different flight.

So anyway, had four flights to make this week so I bit the bullet and bought a pair. I had no idea how noisy planes were! Presumably because the noise builds gradually through start up, taxiing, then accelerating up to speed you don't notice it so much, but I was genuinely astonished at the difference it made - even if not listening to music it's worth having them on and switched on.

Anyway, starting to sound like a Bose commercial but seriously, if you travel a lot - get a pair. Wish I'd done it years ago, it's transformative!

Unless anyone knows of another solution/hack.

That's nifty! I wonder whether you get any loss of sound quality.

Quite like the volume and pause buttons on the wire too.

Second socket on BA is used for their internal noise cancelling. Stereo comes out of the socket you used.

That's interesting!!
