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!

If you really just want to have a virtually silent flight use some 3M "yellow squishes with NC headphones.  I do that to protect my hearing during shooting...called "double muffing". Works great with my wife's Bose NC 'phones when I'm forced to fly somewhere.

+1 soix.  I have those headphone and they are great for flights.  
 

I have the momentum 4s too, which have been an upgrade over my AirPods pro

I’ve done a bit of research (about six months back) into bluetooth noice canceling IEMs and TOTL Bose came out on top on many reviews and lists.

And they won’t take up the space headphones will while traveling.

+++++1 for the Sony WH-1000XM4 $250 on Amazon, or the WH-1000XM5 $325 on Amanzon. I just came back from New Zealand and Australia with almost 20 flight combos each way, and they performed flawlessly. I prefer the XM4s as the bass is more natural and less tipped up than the XM5s.....but my wife prefers the XM5s, so there's that
