Headphones for Plane trip

[smashie]

I have found out 2 hours ago that I am heading off to Thailand for work tomorrow evening. I currently have some sennheiser in ear headphones, but I would like something more comfortable for 11 hour flight.
I will want to use them with the in flight entertainment system as well as my ipad, so I guess pure bluetooth ones are out of the question.
Any suggestions?

These Sony MDR-1000X are half price today & are very good:

Buy them with the BT transmitter recommended & you are good to go. Delivery may be a problem as I don't think you will get them tomorrow unless you pay for next-day delivery.

Looks like I am a bit late for these. Now up to £290.
Lot of comments about the band breaking and creaking so was not sure about them when I saw them at £189

Available from PCworld though at a reduced price. Might pop in and grab them

Went to pick them up from PC world and as happened when I was last on my way there, I have to go past John Lewis. Don't know why I keep forgetting they are there, but I do.
Pulled into their car park and checked the price on their website and they were the same as PC world. Bought it at John Lewis instead as you get a 2yr guarantee with them rather than the usual 1.

At £329, they are a bit too expensive seeing as though they will mainly be used for pane trips. Have bought the Sony MDR-1000X from John Lewis.
They come with a 2 prong adaptor and a 3.5mm cable to plug in with. The last few international flights I have been on, you just plugged the 3.5mm headphone lead into the entertainment unit.
Had a quick listen to these and they do sound good and the noise cancelling works really well. I couldn't hear the washing machine on the spin cycle. The most I have previously spent on a pair was about £35 on my last set of Sennheiser CX 2.00.
Lets hope they don't suffer from some of the issues on the Amazon reviews
