When I tried the Sony's I could hear the ANC sounds and it was distracting.

They were comfortable physically but hearing that sound was uncomfortable audibly.

Bose. QC15 or newer. You can get very good quality used Bose headphones on Amazon or Ebay.

I used to travel a lot and went through 3-4 pairs trying to avoid the cost of the Bose...

What you heard was Kyle W in your ear piece 😉

I've had the 1000xm3 and QC35. 1000xm3 is the clear winner.

Another vote for Bose QC35s. You won't beat them for NC or comfort.

5/13/19 1:46pm

Yes you can...Sony

Heinz57

5/13/19 1:51pm

I've owned both. Sony has a slight edge in sound quality, but not in NC.

5/13/19 1:54pm

Disagree with NC

I've had Bose. I actually like my Sony ear phones better.

5/13/19 1:50pm

I'm curious if you're talking about one with a microphone for making phone calls

No, they’ll be used exclusively on flights.

the QC35s have a mic and I use it daily. Works well enough.

Thanks all. You’ve narrowed my options considerably.

Here is a decent comparison of the two with highlights of what each does better.

Also, if time isn't a factor you may want to follow 9to5toys, via daily email or twitter, for a while.

Thanks! I ordered from this link. Great deal. I went with the Bose after

Wired or wireless? other than the obvious mobility advantage,

BYUFBDAD

5/13/19 1:58pm

QC 35 are the wireless version. Charge via mini USB. Great battery life.

It's 20 hours wireless, 40 wired.

I went with Bose. I asked same question a while ago.

Great find - I have some and love them. Bought them for Father's Day gift. They were 350.00 at Best Buy, I paid 257.
