I've kept a set of QF and VA J headphones and regularly use them in economy.

OR... if you fly regularly enough to warrant the price tag, just buy a set of Bose QC25's or the new QC35's (if you want to splash an extra $50-$100 for Bluetooth).

I had a pair of the now superseded QC15's and then upgraded to the QC25's.  Best life decision ever.  Not 100% effective at blocking out crying babies though.

Don't you need a pillow for that? Or phenergan?

My wife reckons I am already 100% effective at blocking out the sound of a crying baby!

NC headphones provided by the airlines are universally rubbish, I wouldn't keep them even if they gave them away!. Even the $30 ones from aldi are better. I also have invested in the bose qc25"s. they are brilliant except on dragonair where they dont fit the socket.

I always hand over my deluxe solid state hi fidelity headphones prior to landing.

I vote for bringing back the old air head phones. I found that they were more useful to tune old twin carburetors.

I tried with the noise cancelling ones but they did not work :)

While some are lucky enought to have business fund / personally fund Business/ First, others do it the long way

I know many WP and WP1 that travel in economy on holidays (especial when with their families).

I have a friend of a cousin's next door neighbour (cough, splutter) that occasionally collects airline cutlery for nostalgic reasons. Plates are a bit of a stretch. Maybe a plastic (clean) dessert bowl from economy?. 


I...errr...I mean my friend.... draws the line at electronic equipment or anything else that takes up room in their already over-packed carry on.
