Why Noise-Canceling Headphones are a Must

Have you ever been on a noisy flight? Whether it was a neighbor that would not stop talking, a baby that didn’t appreciate being forced to fly, or you wanted to get some shut-eye, noise-canceling headphones can be important.

I haven’t had many flights where I’ve been too annoyed by the passengers around me (lucky?), but in general, I like headphones that cover my ears. You see, I’ve been told my ears are small. That may be true. I don’t know. But I wouldn’t be surprised if it is, because not many in-ear headphones are comfortable for me to wear. And I like listening to my favorite podcasts during flights!

So, if you travel a lot, and don’t have a good pair of headphones, get some! I’ve read that Bose Quietcomfort 25 headphones are near the top of the pack. I’ve also heard Beats by Dre are pretty good too (though maybe a little frickin expensive? Jeez!).

However, the pair that I use, and love, is the Classic Parrot Zik. You can use them wirelessly with bluetooth, or, if they’re not charged, you can connect them with a cord.

Bottom line

I know there are many great noise-canceling headphones out there. I only named the more popular ones I’ve heard of in this post. I would love to give more a try. But I’m happy with my Ziks. However, I want to hear from you! What are your favorite noise-canceling headphones?
