ANC phones for long flight; Bose QC45 or Senn Momo 4

Headphone Heights

Welcome to Headphone Heights, the place for all your ear bud discussion

I was surprised to learn that Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) headphone reviews rarely mention or test for effective aircraft noise cancellation.

I tried Skullcandy ANC earbuds on my last flight to Euro and they did virtually nothing to quiet the loud engine/airstream noise in the cabin; I returned them. Now looking at over-the-ear phones under $300; Bose QC45 vs Sennheiser Momo 4 seem the best rated on Amazon, but I don't have much faith in the musical assessments considering I lean toward classic rock and classical/opera. These phones will also replace my ancient Grados for home listening so sound quality is important too.

Hoping there are some frequent flyers on AA with first-hand experience with these ANC phones when flying.
