I purchased the Sony headphones the soix mentioned above for the exact scenario. I lost my Bose noise cancelling earbuds and needed a replacement for a trip to Europe. The Sony's offer a higher SQ and excellent noise cancelling. I went with these for the same reason of having a decent set of headphones for home use and the flexibility of noise cancelling for flights. Good Luck and Happy Anniversary!
Upcoming Trip
My wife and I are taking a trip this summer for our 25th anniversary. I am looking to buy some wireless headphones for the trip since we will be on the airplane for 8-10 hours and was wondering if any of you have experience with Sennheiser Momentum 4, PSB (I don’t remember the model but they are $399), or Focal Bathys (are they really worth double the price). I do have Focal home speakers so I am familiar with the house sound if the headphones have it. Although I am primarily buying the headphones for the trip, I am sure I will use them at home when we return.
Thank you for sharing your experiences!
