Does Costco sell any good noise cancelling headphones?

[vash]

Any idea? I wouldn’t mind sine for commercial air travel.

I remember my wife telling me that they do but I wanted to try for fit before I buy. Since I don't want to deal with the crazy crowd I bought a Bose at their outlet for about 270 bucks. Best money spent. Ahhh, nice and quiet

You know they have a website with a search function, right?

Check deals.kinja.com

Do a search, you can find deals on Sony, Bose and other brands. I bought an inexpensive pair of Cowin's about a year ago that I love for travel. For the price they're disposable, not going to get bunged up if something happened to a $50 pair vs. a full freakout for a $300 pair.

I know that! I’m asking (badly, apparently) for a PPOT product review.

I don't know why you want to limit your search to Costco, and I'm not sure what specifically Costco has to offer in the way of noise canceling earphones, but it's tough to beat the Bose product for either the over the ear or in-ear earbud. https://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-noise-cancelling-in-ear-headphones/

I have several over the ear phones from Bose and the boys and i love them. My wife prefers in an in-ear earbud because the over-ear earphones are too bulky for her. I bought her a Sennheiser CXC 700 on ebay for $40 and she loves it so much more than the over-ear Bose earphones.

I have a pair of Plantronics Voyager 8200 UC. They were $280, I believe. They are basically the same as the Bose QC35. I can whole-heartedly recommend them. I got them from here. It’s an authorize reseller. https://www.headsetsdirect.com/plantronics-voyager-8200-uc-computer-mobile-black.html

I know that Adorama is a well respected vendor of photographic and other equipment. This is an incredible price, $220

Sonys are on sale right now at Best Buy. The top of the line ones at $300 are pretty awesome and get great reviews. Totally blow away my 6? Year old bose.

I really like my MPOW headphones I picked up on amazon. Sure they arent as good as Bose... but my ears arent that great either! Great for cheap and I dont have to worry about losing them...

[porsche4life]

Also... Watch prime day deals tomorrow and tuesday.... I'd bet there will be some sales on headphones

I have the wireless Sony MDR-ZX780DC that they sold about 1.5 years ago. I use them at work in an open office environment. They do not cut out voices well (as all don't) but the AC noise is gone a little music and I am nicely insulated from the noises and conversations.

I also had them on a flight to Europe both ways. They were stellar in cutting down the big white noise. Don't forget to bring the cable in case you want to plug in and watch movies (so you don't have to wear them over the freebie earphones provided). In noise canceling mode only they lasted 12 hours straight no problem.

When I worked in the Kingdom, we had that 16 hour Doha-Houston flight. After about 6 hours, my ears were hurting from the in-ear. yea, they are really small and convenient, but for really long flights, I like the Bose over-the-ear. I ended getting the QC's for the wife and daughter.

I've been using Bose QC's for over 6 years. Love em! I still prefer over ear headphones over in-ear ones.

[wildthing]

The QCs are sometimes on sale at Costco, usually the model before the current one. I am happy with my QC25, which is wired, and the QC35 is just a Bluetooth version of it.

QC25 Prime sale for $125. Just ordered a pair.

Sounds like the same experience that I have with my Plantronics unit. Kills the white noise. Worked wonders on a plane, also provided the plane audio via a cable. Plantronics battery lasts me at least about 20 hours with the ANC and streaming audio from my phone for at least 16 hours.

It's weird and cool, you get so used to the quiet, that if you turn them off, turn off the ANC or just take them off, it seems weirdly loud.

I drove with them on from Kingman AZ to LA in my diesel pickup truck. It cut out all the tire noise and the hum of diesel engine. I don't ahve music hooked up to it, but the pace and quiet was great. This is the first time I have used it for any length of time. I must look like a dork driving with them on on the hwy. I can get sited for having them on, I think?

I fly for a living so I never go anywhere without my Bose Quiet 35’s

I’m not a “Bose” fanatic. And do believe that “no hi’s no low’s, must be Bose”. But they cut down in noise from the flight attendants making announcements every 3 min.
The second I sit down I put them on. Music on or off.

I like that they are wireless. Can sync to my watch or phone/iPad. Can even use them to make a phone call. Although I rarely do that. Battery lasts forever.

Zero buyers remorse.

Something like this gives you a lot more isolation and fidelity than noise cancelling.

I'm on my third pair of Bose - they are essential on long-haul flights for me. I have the new 35's that are wireless and really like that feature. I'll sometimes use them at my desk when I need to concentrate and want to feel like I'm in an isolation booth (and I work at home).

I'm a side sleeper so it's a bit of a challenge on a flight (when upgraded), but otherwise perfect. the case comes with a cord and dual-plug adapter so if you want to watch in seat entertainment you can still enjoy in isolation.

Highly Recommended.
