I have spent much of my career working internationally. It was not uncommon for me to visit China and Europe twice a month, over 25,000 miles a month. I lived on airplanes. I am an audiophile at home. These are two completely different things! I have had more than a couple dozen high end ear buds and headphones of all types. I used to carry an extra amp and a DAC. Leave that stuff at home.
Get yourself a set of Bose QuietComfort. I wear them turned on without music if I am not listening to music. I put them on when I get through customs and leave them on. Airplanes are incredibly noisy. You cannot, even with noise cancellation hear nuances associated with high end recordings. Bose are not accurate, but they sound great… they deaden the background noise, fold up really nicely, they have a great case, and they are super comfortable. I would sleep in them. I hated Bose for most of my life for what they did to the high end audio industry. But they got these right.
Bose do not sound bad, they sound great, they are just not particularly accurate. I enjoy listening to them, they are relaxing. They are something you can listen to for hours without feeling fatigued.
Traveling a lot, you learn how to travel comfortably and just flow from place to place without trauma and as quietly and pleasantly… these things are the first huge step in that direction when traveling!
In business class they are by far the most common. Leave the audiophile stuff at home where it is quiet.
