One of my friends splashed out on noise cancelling and said they were brilliant.
How much do you want to spend? |

How much do you want to spend? Don't often do long haul so probably won't be used again. Thanks |

If you are only going to use them once, then something like this should suit

I have a pair of noise-cancelling Sennheiser ear buds. Would recommend them, the ones I have aren't that expensive - only about £40. I recently had to use a pair of cheap ones I'd got and they were crap!

And on long haul, you can use noise cancelling just switched on with no music playing - it still cancels out all the surrounding chatter to give you a near silent sleep! |

Don't some of the crap airlines still use those awful double-jack connections? It might be worth purchasing an adaptor at the same time if you were planning on using the onboard entertainment with your own headphones. They are a couple of quid on Amazon.

Just come back from USA. They do give you earphones but, they are not good. I had my own but, had to give them to one of the little ones as issued ones were too big for him and hurting his ears. After 9 hours they were hurting my ears too. Far from the best sound quality also.
Get your own if you can. Edited to add: Hunt for the Wilderpeople was such a good film. Would highly recommend.

I'd say JVC HAFX5 Gumy Plus Noise Isolating Headphones.
The come in assorted colors. https://www.amazon.co.uk/JVC-HA-FX5-...0R3GCV246KRB08 From about £6 depending on the color you want. And then buy the adaptor so the you can use them on the flight |

I know but you suggested spending that much on a pair of earbuds to use once.
