Noise-cancelling headphones?

Scarlet

Does anyone have some experience with noise-cancelling headphones in terms of what to look for or a specific recommendation? I am trying to figure out how to work more effectively from home.

I have two sets for flights. Both Bose.

I have a Bose pair, and they are excellent. On a long haul flight I had to be shaken awake.

They are fab for zoom calls too, although I tend not to use the noise cancelling option.

I have Bose. They’re wonderful for long flights.

Mine are Bose Quiet Comfort II. I can't live without them. Great for those long flights, but I wear them at home, too. I originally tried some Sony ones, but they had to be plugged into a PC for charging, so that pretty much ruled them out for travel.

Love my Bose also. Very reliable, good sound quality and hold their charge on long flights. The noise canceling on flights makes a huge difference.

Me right now in the old set of Bose headphones working next to Greg who is in a Zoom meeting. Of course, they are white

I have a small portable set too.

With all the love for Bose, this makes my search very easy! Good to know they are worth the money. Especially helpful to know you are able to use them to (adorably) drown out your husband's zoom meeting. Love the white and electric blue, Angie! Thanks so much everyone.

Angie, you look adorable in these!

Scarlet, I have an old pair of Bose -- not even the noise cancelling kind, but old SoundTrues that are very comfortable and lightweight -- and I find even these cancel or muffle a lot of noise and are extremely easy to wear. I'd definitely purchase a noise cancelling pair from them as well.

Another vote for Bose! I've had mine since 2010 and they are still going strong. I've replaced the ear pads (inexpensively). And I wear them every work day for at least a couple of hours. Worth the $.

I have the headphone version also, but prefer the comfort and practicality of the Bose earbuds that fit in a zip case smaller than a deck of cards. I’m headache prone and find them more wearable for longer periods. Nice to have choices, depending on your needs.

Late to the thread but I have the Bose headphones. I like them, but don't use them very often as I am not into podcasts, music listening, etc. Because I am super cheap on something I thought I might use minimally (which turned out to be true), I bought a Bose-refurbed pair from the Bose Factory Direct shop in a nearby outlet mall. So they were about $100 cheaper than new and came with a full warranty. My spouse uses his about 4-6 hours per day. I rarely use mine except occasionally when there is too much snoring.
