I need quiet as much as music sometimes so help me please


I know nothing about headphones. Mostly because to me they feel uncomfortable and restricting after about
10 minutes of use. But I need something while flying that will knock out as much noise as possible. I use
foam earplugs and they help. Now I am ready to spend what it takes. Questions-
-Is noise cancelling a viable concept?
-Brands to focus on- Sony, JCV and Bose- or so I have been told. Others?

I am having trouble finding any ratings of db reduction specs. Do they exist?

Anyone been down this way lately?

Thanks

Although most Bose stuff is really bad compared to other equipment, their noise-canceling headphones are the best noise-cancelling have found - I tried many and spent good money trying. Why? They still hold some of the best patents for noise-canceling, and until they expire, other brands have to work around Bose's technology. The sound of their headphones is quite good, although not great, but then no noise canceling headphones can match higher-end ones regardless.
