I got these before boarding a trans-atlantic flight because I was sick of using the uncomfortable airline headsets, and I was very satisfied with them. I ended up sitting next to the wing which I find to be the noisiest part of a plane, but this no longer became a problem for me because the noise canceling feature on these headphones works so well. They have very good sound quality and are extremely comfortable. I wore them for about 12 hours without taking them off, and when I took them off, my ears were not sore, so they are very comfortable. Get these now if you are a frequent traveler, you won't regret it!!!
