I have a nice set of
Sennheiser HD280 pros I bought for a noisy workplace a year ago. I love these headphones SO much. They're full overear isolation headphones, and I find they block out most ambient noise along with everything else. They also enable me to listen to movies and music at low, non-earblasting volumes.
Lately I've been looking around at noise cancelling headphones (specifically the
Sennheiser PXC450s, but I'm not sure if it's worth spending the extra $450 on a second set. What say my fellow FTers? Is it worth investing in a set of noise cancellation headphones, or is my isolation set alright? What do you fly with?
I'm half tempted to buy the PXC450s to try them out on a flight and return them if they don't provide a significant improvement over the HD280 Pros.
