    How anybody flies without noise-canceling headphones these days is beyond me.

      noise-cancelling headphones don’t help with crying babies unfortunately, just hums & buzzes like the engines, HVAC system, etc.

        I kind of assume people are listening to music or something with the headphones on. That does a good enough job to drown out all sounds for me. If you just put on noise-canceling headphones, turn them on, then don’t play anything… yeah… not going to be super effective at filtering out crying babies.

      Overpriced. And then you need them for every member of the family :)

      And they also might not work well enough
