Tips / Travel

Sometimes you just want to make it all fade into the background or not be able to hear anything at all. Having a great pair of headphones while traveling is a luxury. And though it is easy to upgrade from the shockingly bad airline headphones that no longer even seem to stay in the average ear, buying excellent headphones will require dropping some serious cash.

Bose Quiet Comfort in any series is probably a solid bet when it comes to well-made noise-cancelling. Series 20 and 35 are the best reviewed and will cost $250 and $450, respectively.

For around $200, Plantronics Backbeat Pro 2 provide a wide-range of features including wireless and immersive audio.

For a pair that is much more affordable, try these Sony headphones for around $50. If you are not a connoisseur of sound, these might do the trick. Even if you are, these have been well-reviewed and might suit your needs without the hefty price tag.

Mashable has a complete list of the best headphones on the market this year.
