I really don't want to fall out with them, and anyway would a court agree an injunction against noisy kids? Actually, it's not the fact that they're noisy, it's the type of noise. I'd prefer to hear them scraping their fingernails down a blackboard than listen to them screaming. And I do mean screaming, not shouting or laughing, they scream like they're being eaten alive.Originally posted by northernladyuk View Post

The noise in row 1 of a 787 is very low anyway, but when I've had to travel in the back (or "Club World" as BA call it), it helps drown out the whine of permies.

Hate the sound of both, or the Bose as compared to the Sennheisers? Just curious, my Bose are getting old-ish now and I've wondered about changing, can't really justify it though.Originally posted by diseasex View PostTried both. Totally hate the sound of them . The noise cancelling is great for plane, but once you hear something better....

They can still scream though....Originally posted by northernladuk View PostThought about approaching this from a different angle?

Noise cancelling headphones won't stop the screaming. Ear plugs will help.
But if you want headphones, Sennheiser M2 AEBT are hard to beat (and you can use them via USB on your computer for conference calls)

Absolutely, I would imagine that a combination of ear plugs and noise cancelling headphones will make you so deafened by your own "tinnitus" you won't be worried by the kids.Originally posted by AtW View Post
