Notes -
My interest in active noise cancelling earbuds/headphones is very much piqued. I can't stand airports and planes and so on. I think the noise plays a significant part in that.
What are the 'best' ones? If you don't mind paying another 50 or 100.
Not sure whether the Apple air pods are the best option for an Android phone user like me.
I don't usually enjoy having earphones or earplugs inserted for more than an hour or so. Are the super fancy, expensive ANC ones more comfortable? Or should I go for over-ear headphones (though these are much less portable).
I'm not an expert, so you'll have to do your own research with reviews unless someone chimes in here that they've gone through a few different brands.
I don't have a reference point for what is more comfortable. I would presume its just normal earbud vs over ear headphones.
Something I do like is that I can tolerate earbuds in bed with audio books before sleep if I'm on my back and for short periods on my side.
That's me though. I'm not ultra sensitive to physical discomfort.
