Don't get on a plane without them

All my life I've been using the cheap headphones that airlines give you to watch movies on your flight, or better yet, the Apple headphones that come with your phone to be delivered . Dear reader, if you've used a similar medium for your entertainment audio, feel free to switch to Audio-Technica. Life is too short. pull the trigger It's worth the cost. They're not noise-cancelling, but since the headphones fit over the ear, they block quite a bit of baby crying and the like. After this purchase, you will have the feeling that you have upgraded your coach seat, at least in terms of sound, to first class. The overall impression of your quality of life while flying is like hiding in your own healthy cocoon. I wear them on 10 hour trips to London and occasionally take them off to let my ears breathe a bit, but other than that they don't sweat and stay comfortable. A tip for airplane use: some seats have an audio jack in the armrest next to your leg, so the audio cable goes in your leg (depending on the height of your legs); Consider purchasing an inexpensive 90 degree audio adapter (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NBJW3T5/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_10) just in case you find yourself in this situation. The headphone pocket offers enough space to store the adapter. That aside: I was struggling to settle on an Audio-Technica model: I would heartily recommend the version that rotates to lie flat on my chest. It's totally worth the extra cost. If you take good care of these headphones I think the build quality is such that they will last you for years so the extra expense for the flat lay feature is definitely worth it. Finally, I've recently discovered the fun and comfort of a seat cushion on long flights and I highly recommend getting one, but just note that the increased height of this cushion puts your foot closer to the audio jack. get out when it is in the armrest; Therefore a 90 degree audio adapter is needed: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EBDV9BU/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_87
