Guys,
Please help. I have long haul flights coming up next week and I'm looking to buy noise cancelling headphones. I can't spend $300+ on Bose QuietComfort 2s. But I am looking at certain ones. If someone can help me and tell me with their personal experience of which ones to get, that will be great... I would like to buy them today so even if I order them online, I'll get them before next wednesday. Anyways, here is what I'm looking at:
1. Bose TriPort Headphones $139
(Not really noise-cancelling, but listened to them and they sounded amazing)
2. Sennheiser PXC150
(Never used them)
3. Sennheiser PXC250
4. Sennheiser PXC300
5. Philips HN110
I'd like to spend no more than $130... If there are any others that I should consider, I will look into those as well.

Sony MDRV700 - I use them for DJing and they cancel noise A LOT better than any of the Sennhaisers.
What do you mean you dont have any bourbon? Do you know how far it is to Houston? What kind of airline is this???
Currently using Shure Earbuds, which also work nicely, but when they break/wear out, I'm prbably going back to regualr hadphones, and will opt for the Bose.

I have a Sennheiser too. It's compact, is comfortable on the ears and does a very good job with noise cancellation/sound quality.

I guess I'll be buying the Sennheiser's. Don't know if they will be the 250s or the 300s. 250 is $90 free shipping and the 300 is $118 including shipping.

Quoting YWG (Reply 5): Go with the bose. If they make their headphones like they make their aviation headsets and speakers....they should be killer.
When I was doing some stage management and concert production we had an old saying:

I have a pair of $40 Sony noise canceling, and works just fine on a plane. Cancels out the noise of the plane, unfortunately not the damn kids
