(More customer reviews)I am very frequent flier and for some time have been looking for a solution against the plane-noise problem.
I have known about the US$300 Bose Headphone for a while, but I decided to wait for less expensive units.
A month ago a bought the Brookstone unit, which has fair noise reduction, eliminating the wind-in-the-wings noise (very low tones) in the plane, but not dealing with the higher tones (such as the turbines.
The Brookstone US$100 unit also proved to be VERY uncomfortable to wear, i.e., any flight longer than 3-hours is umbereable. Another problem is the sound quality of the Headphone itself, which is not too good. It sounds cheap, with not enough bass and squeaky treble.
Today I bought the Panasonic RP-HC70 (for less than half of the Brookstone price). The Panasonic is much better Headphone in terms of sound quality. The sound is clear and, although it could have a little more bass, specially when the noise reduction is on, the quality is OK. It is also much more comfortable to wear than the Brookstone, even though it does not fully cover the ears. It has however one small problem: hiss. Whenever Noise-reduction is turned on, a constant hiss is heard. If classical music is liestened to, all the piano parts become mixed with hiss. In terms of noise reduction itself, it is adequate for plane usage, covering a bigger range of sounds than the Brookstone unit.
