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.

Invite MF round. He will eat them alive and then problem is solved.

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.

Then you woke up (on row 32) and it was all a dream?

[WTFH]

They can still scream though....

They can, so make sure the tree is far enough away from you that you can't hear them. My butler's preference is to take them up north.

Tried both. Totally hate the sound of them . The noise cancelling is great for plane, but once you hear something better....

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.

Thought about approaching this from a different angle?

Bose are good. Never tried the Sennheisers though.

You have to lie and say it's a version of hide and seek.

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.

Bose QuietComfort series..
But quality is way worse than sennheiser momentum
