Life Q20

I have a pair of noise cancy Beats ear buds that I love but my husband would start talking at me and get annoyed when he realized I couldn't hear him. (Not rude annoyed - more like frustrated that he had to repeat himself.) My sister in law asked me for a Christmas list and I put some silver Anker Soundcore noise cancelling over the ear headphones on my Amazon wishlist. I LOVE them and now he can easily tell when I'm using them.

I bought these here and they sound awesome on the bass response and even better for the price! https://a.co/d/eWcBFDu

Ear buds. Provided that they have active noise cancelling. Even if you planned to use them throughout the trip, I'd still go with the ear buds. Unless you find them terribly uncomfortable, it's the way to go to save space. I'm not an audiophile, so I tend to use cheaper stuff. Several years ago I got some Anker Soundcore Life Q20 over-the-ear headphones. The active noise cancelling was a godsend on flights. But then last year I got a pair of Anker Soundcore Space A40 ear buds. These don't isolate sound quite as well, but the ANC is still good enough on a flight to be able to hear the audio without cranking the volume. I swapped out the standard tips for foam ones, which are more comfortable and seem to help with noise isolation. They take up so little space, I rarely ever bring the over-the-ear headphones anywhere anymore.

I usually use my Bluetooth Soundcore Life Q20 when I’m at the office for meetings and phone calls.

I've been happy with Soundcore q20 and Soundcore q35. Both on Amazon for fair prices. https://a.co/d/f43t2sK https://a.co/d/0uzonED I bought q20 on Amazon after my husband lost his job and was home, while I work from home. I got the q35 off of shopgoodwill.com because I liked that it could connect to 2 devices at once. I use both interchangeably.

I got Soundcore Q20 from Amazon for less than $70. People can hear me and I can't hear anything going on around me. Everyone wins! Upgrade to the Q25 if you want to connect to multiple sources at once (like your computer and phone).
