I can’t quite get myself to subject them to the amount of sweat generated during mowing the lawn. I’ve got some cheap nasty DeWalt cans for that. No ANC, but they muffle the sound outside pretty good, and as a bonus still have Bluetooth. Lawn mowing is prime podcast time.
This is good advice, though honestly I would advise waiting till you arrive and doing your washup at your destination.
If your airport is only 30min from the hotel, I say forgo his and just endure. If you land and the. Have 2+ hours more to your final destination, the I’d do it in the much larger and more accomodating airport bathrooms.
Unless on a very tight schedule or travelling in a big group, just ask your partners to wait and give you 10 to 15 to manage business. Be quick, but it shouldn’t take too long to strip down and hit your body with some body wipes. When you come out refreshed and in different clothes they will understand.
I used to have some of those but found them not awesome on planes. I use Shure earbuds now, not even ‘noise canceling”, and they are better than the Bose QCs ever were. Can’t hear a damn thing in the plane except my music.
Years ago I flew transatlantic and just before landing I got up and brushed my teeth with a tiny travel set. I still remember all the people looking at me with my toothpaste and brush in hand thinking “why didn’t I think of that?”

I swear by my WH-1000XM4’s. I don’t even usually play anything, just turn the noise-cancellation on. Makes flying so much more chill.
These are what I have and use every flight… and to mow the lawn.
I love how good they are at noise cancelation.

Loved my QC25s until they broke. The new versions are a pain to keep charged…

I feel like a shill for compression socks, but they help with that foot swelling and makes things infinitely comfier

Bose were great for the office though!
