One of the most annoying parts of plane travel is the ongoing droning noise the plane makes. Sometimes it feels as though you almost have to shout over it to make yourself heard, and, even worse, especially on long haul flights, sometimes it\u2019s hard to hear the movie\/entertainment over the loud droning noise of the airplane engines.<\/p>

This is where noise cancelling headphones can step in and save the day – or at least your sanity! It wasn\u2019t too long ago that noise cancelling headphones struggled to match the sound quality of other headphones – unless you paid a premium price for them.<\/p>

But, technology is advancing and these days it is possible to find good quality, effective noise cancelling headphones that are reasonably good value for money – heck, if they\u2019re going to make a long haul flight more tolerable, they\u2019re worth their weight in gold, right?<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Active Noise Cancellation Vs Passive Noise Cancellation<\/h2>

Some people are confused by the term \u201cnoise cancelling\u201d headphones – don\u2019t all headphones cancel noise? Yes, all headphones will block external noise to some degree. How much noise is blocked will depend on the design, but this lessening of external noise is known as passive noise cancellation.<\/p>

Meanwhile active noise cancellation does just what the name implies – tiny, inbuilt microphones are used to identify external\/environmental sounds and then special audio software is used to actively cancel out the external sounds. This type of noise cancellation can dramatically reduce environmental sounds such as people talking, the rumble of traffic or the dreaded hum of an aircraft.<\/p>

Sounds too good to be true doesn\u2019t it? But, there is a downside – using Active Noise Cancelling eats up battery power, so you need to keep your noise cancelling headphones charged. Also, if you\u2019re out walking or jogging with your headphones in noise cancelling mode, you need to be extra vigilant about checking your surroundings and staying safe around traffic.<\/p>

So, which noise cancelling headphones should you buy? Here\u2019s our top 5 favourite picks for the best noise cancelling headphones you can buy in Australia.<\/p>

Best Noise Cancelling Headphones Australia<\/h2>

1.\u00a0 Coming in at number 1 (because of their price) is the Sony WH-H900N Over Ear Noise Cancelling Headphones.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

These win out over our second choice because of the value for money. Depending on where you buy them from, this model can be anywhere from $100 to $150 cheaper than our second option, also from Sony. The major difference seems to be that this model does not come with an adaptor for aeroplane use. <\/span><\/p>

Also, some users report that the noise cancelling of this model is not as effective as the noise cancelling of number 2. However, this model offers great sound and has a longer battery life than most other noise cancelling headphones.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

2.\u00a0 Number 2 is the more expensive option but the Sony WH-1000XM3 is a very well liked and reviewed set of noise cancelling headphones. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
