bose QC25 headphones--worth it for a long flight??

I think the price for them is absurd. Those were my original pair of headphones, but I would 100000000x rather have a closed pair of heapdhones

Do you have a recommendation by chance to use on a long flight? thanks

The problem with the bose headphones for long flights are the fact that even though they are over the ear, they are still quite small. I found that to get them over my ear, I have to wiggle my ear into them. After a few hours... say, a flight to Taipei or Singapore, my ears would get sore and I'd have to take them off for awhile.

As much as it embarrasses me to admit it, I found that the most comfortable earphones (for me) are the Beats Executive Noise Cancelling Over Ear headphones.

I also tried on a pair of Sennheiser in Amsterdam Airport that were awesome... can't remember the model but they were almost $1,000US. hell no.

Maybe I just have big fricking ears. But I find that for long international flights, even a bit of discomfort winds up being a big sore sport at some point.

I have a pair of Beats Studio, I got as a gift, and the noise canceling works well on the flights. They're very comfortable as well. Probably the same price though.

Yes I love them. I have two of the QC25s and I have two of the QC20is. I use both of them a ton. Both cancel really well. I like them both about equal, however the sound is better in the 25's for movies.

I love them, much better than garbage beats, you should also check sennheiser

I bought the QC25s. They are great.

Best Buy did have a pair of Samsung that were a little more expensive and were bluetooth capable that seem pretty good. Only trouble was that it was a rechargeable device and I think I would rather the battery operated. It's easy to carry an extra battery but not so easy to find a place to charge while traveling.
