Everybody I've talked to and doing world travlng myself on aircraft, is the Bose over the ear the headsets, as far as noise canceling. Sony, Senhieser, and Panasonic dosen't cut it (the noise).
I'm on my second pair of JVC ear bud's after 5ys. They'll run you about 35-45 dollars (The last I bought them for) from Best Buy. I'm working on the pair I bought 2yr's ago.
