There is already a headphone thread so I may just merge this with that one or something in the end but since I am looking for something specific for flying I figured this was different enough that it would warrant it's own... either way, I am looking for a decent set of noise canceling headphones I can use for flights and also use to game with during the week while I am living out of hotels so I can call you all dirty names in discord. Right now I have narrowed it down to three but they are at different price points plus I wanted to see what some of you guys might be using.
The first and the gold standard seem to be these Bose 35 for $350
Amazon product ASIN B0756CYWWD
This Sony option is said to be pretty damn good and same quality as the Bose or maybe even a little better for $350
Amazon product ASIN B01KHZ4ZYY
The cheap option are these COWIN E7 for $80
Amazon product ASIN B077YG22Y9
My first thought is to go with the cheapest option given the price difference but I also don't mind paying for quality if it will make my travel experience better it will be worth the cost. So I am asking you guys for some suggestions. Any of you have any of the above and can offer some first hand experience? Are any of these also useful for gaming or am I boned in this area? Should I be looking for something different all together?
