Re: question about using noise canceling headphones

[Donald Ball]

That depends on whether you like earbuds or headphones. The AirPods Pro two are the best earbuds in the business. You might be able to get a discount on some quiet, comfort headphones that aren’t the latest from Bose. If you worry about chatting, Sony has some headphone features that feature speak to chat in different things You will rely on ambient voice mode to hear those around you. You don’t have to worry about the noise canceling so much shit and when you’re on the ground, listening to the flight people you wanna be listening to all that stuff anyway when you’re in the air, people aren’t gonna bother y’all that muchLi Sent from my iPhone On Jul 21, 2025, at 11:41 PM, R Van Lant <vanlant2...@msn.com> wrote:  Hi, I have been on several flights lately.   While I can hear voiceover on my phone, I struggle to hear audio books, podcasts  or movies due to the airplane noise.  I tend to pack the standard wired apple earbuds for trips, but I think I need to invest in something else.  Noise canceling seems like the logical thing that a sighted person would do, but it’s already hard to notice if the flight attendant or another passenger is trying to get my attention.  Curious what others do in this situation.   How do you balance hearing with maintaining awareness  around you? -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.   If you have any questions or concerns about the running of this list, or if you feel that a member's post is inappropriate, please contact the owners or moderators directly rather than posting on the list itself.   Your V iPhone list moderator is Mark Taylor.
