They're worth if just so you don't have to talk to the person next to you.

Get a pair of noise isolating in-ear headphones. Tons cheaper and work great

The reviews I'm seeing say they have poor noise isolation

You're referring to IE2s? That's what you use?

No issues sleeping on long flights with them on.

Same here. In-ears bug me and fall out all the time. The only ones I can

Absolutely if you fly that much. Definitely buy the Bose. I had another brand

Singcat

Yes. Well worth the money, unless you do not mind screaming babies
