Christmas pressie thought .... Anyone got them and what are your views ?
They are a bit steep at £260 but for plane/train journeys would they be a good investment ?

Never tried the Bose ones and always think that for noise cancelling, over ear is the way to go. BUT - my Sony Xperia Z2 came with in ear noise cancelling headphones (RRP on them is about £70) and I do find they cut the noise down quite well. Cuts out a lot of the background hum on a train / plane.

I have some Bose in ear headphones but not sure they are noise cancelling. They are great though and fit right in to the ear so other noise is automatically kept out. My dad bought them for me and I think they were about £50 but that is a while ago now. Not sure you really need to spend much more than that in my opinion

The noise reduction ones are the ones i am looking for . They come with a battery at the end of the lead that is nearest the jack end , does this really interfere with their use . Is the noise cancelling any good ?
I have some Shure in ear earphones already but on the plane they don't go loud enough to hear the film clearly on the ipad , the noise cancelling helps greatly , i am told

I have the Bose QC15 (bought with air miles however) but they are great for flying, especially on Dash 8 planes for instance. They cancel the brunt of the drone.
In ear ones give me earache.

I have Etymotic ER.4 MicroPro earphones. I used to have Bose ones (And Shure E5Cs) but these blow the Bose ones out of the water for audio quality. They're not noise cancelling ones like the Bose but they do reduce noise well enough. http://www.etymotic.com/consumer/earphones/er4.html (http://www.etymotic.com/consumer/earphones/er4.html)
It all depends on what you're listening to though.
