Going on a trip in the near future with a couple of long flights, and want it to be more enjoyable through listening. Music, movies, podcasts, audiobooks, etc.

In the past though, I’ve found my ears get very fatigued after a couple hours. I think mainly because of my cheap earbuds competing with ambient plane noise.

So I’m looking for something that meets these criteria:

  • Noise cancelling (active?)
  • Wired
  • Comfortable for long stretches
  • Small and easily portable?
  • Affordable?

Not sure how real my options are for the full intersection of those. But I wanted to reach out to the community first, to get ideas that may help me know where to start.

    I used my Sennheiser True Momentum 4s on a 14+ hour flight, they were very comfortable and the noise cancelling was excellent. Battery lasted for about 8-9 hours.
