On a recent trip to Seattle, I tried out the Bose noise-cancelling headphones at an airport stand. I had some time to kill and I was pretty sceptical about how impressive they could possibly be so I thought it would pass some time.

I was blown away – they demo’d them with a jet engine played at high volume and the impact of turning them on and off was hard to believe.

So…. When my flight was delayed and I decided to treat myself and splash out on a pair. I haven’t regretted it. If you travel a lot, you will find that the cost is easily worth it. I leant my pair to my business partner and then my brother on separate trips and they both ended up buying their own. If you want to get your own, you can buy them at Amazon
