For long distances, they're the most comfortable. I swear by them. You can hear your music (and the movie) very well without having to crank up the volume and damage your ears. Even without listening to music, the absence of the annoying plane hiss is very relaxing. I've tried cheaper versions. They don't fit as well nor work as well in noise reduction. For me, Bose was well worth the investment.<br><b>References : </b><br> I use the one (not sure of the number) that covers the ears, rather than sits on them.

I don't use either but... I did try on my old roommates' BOSE-alternatives. They cost him about 1/2 of the BOSE headphones and they seemed to work really well (I did try them on at home). The amount of "noise" they blocked was scary to me!!<br><b>References : </b><br> I have heard that the cheaper alternatives are just as good.
