Yep, me too. Really loved that huge folding office suitcase they had, and a fifties diner style kitchen table and chairs. We're hoping to move soon so I was good, but when we do it's game on!
If your spending well ask for discount, they are usually good for a deal.

At that scale it’s going to be around 11ft I suspect!

It was more about the engine choice first and model later!

But something like this I suspect!

I spend quite a few hours per week on planes and trains and usually wear in ear sound isolating headphones to listen to music or podcasts.

Made the mistake of trying on a pair of Bose active noise cancelling headphones at the airport on Friday though, and managed to last about 48 hours without owning a pair. hehe Not convinced I'm ever going to use Google Assistant through them but the sound is fantastic and they block noise way better than my old in ear Senheissers.

Qc35's? I'm also victim of the departure lounge bug, and needing to get some too. Not sure i can really justify the cost, but my man logic is telling me I should.

I've just bought the sennheiser 4.50. really recommend them, they're obviously not as good as the Bose but the noise cancelling makes is pretty good for full front noises. (I work in an engine test lab). They have very little sound leak too compared to a few cheaper sets I tried.

This the wrong thread for these. Good NC headphones are essentials if travelling, in fact they are so essential you really ought to put them through on expenses.......

It is so easy to justify the cost of good ANC headphones... once you have taken a single flight with them! You will never want to take a flight without them handy.

Mine are on ear Sennheisers but such a great purchase.

If I were to buy today I would go with Sony's offerings. Top draw.

An essential purchase for anyone who flies even semi regularly.
