    We analyzed over 500 different headphones to pick the top 10 best headphones for flights and road trips in 2021.

    Specifically, we looked out for specific functionalities such as:

    • Noise cancellation
    • Sound quality
    • Battery capacity
    • and pricing

    And today I’m going to show you the best for your travel purposes.

    Let’s dive right in!

    Why Headphones for Travel?

    We live in a noisy world and we cannot avoid it, especially when we travel either for business trips, vacations or commuting to work.

    The noise from the engine of the aeroplane, train, or noise from the horns of cars can really be annoying. Also, a baby can start crying, you cannot stop passengers from snoring while they sleep or to have conversations.

    Most times, these conversations can become really annoying as they burst into laughter. Moreover, you must have planned what to do during that long flight or one-hour train ride to work.

    Perhaps, you want to listen to your favourite podcast, watch a movie, listen to music to be entertained, to achieve this, a good headphone will totally be needed to prevent you from hearing the other uncontrolled sounds.

    A good quality headphone blocks ambient noise and lets you enjoy your music, podcast or movie and you don’t need to increase the volume of the headphone preventing other passengers from being disturbed.

    Okay, maybe you just want to relax and sleep, believe me, the noise from the engine of the aeroplane, baby crying, passengers snoring or talking may make you not to have a good sound sleep. You can achieve this better by using quality noise-cancelling headphone.

    Not Just a Regular Smartphone Headphone:

    There is actually a lot to consider when looking for the top 10 best headphones for flights and travel purposes – from battery life, easy-to-use (you can wear it and catch a bus quickly), and since you will spend a long time on your journey, they have to be light and comfortable.

    Also, a good headphone should have a microphone for you to easily make or receive phone calls, talk to a virtual assistant (for example Siri or Alexa). They should also prevent ambient noise from entering the conversation.

    Every traveller should prioritize a good headphone and not even think about the one that comes along with their smartphone.

    Why did I say that?

    Active noise-cancelling technology, or ANC, refers to headphones that emit sound waves that specifically cancel out ambient sounds. And most headphones that come along with your smartphone don’t have this technology.

    There are also passive noise-cancelling headphones that basically use physical insulation such as soundproofing materials to reduce ambient noise.

    Top 10 Best Headphones For Flights, Road Trips In 2021

    When picking our top 10 best headphones for flights, road trips and other travel purposes in 2021, we checked out for headphones that are: easy-to-use for when you’re hunting down your gate or running to catch the bus, with a long enough battery life to last you throughout the day.

    While many people prefer over-ear headphones for long flights or train rides, earbuds or in-ear headphones are popular as well for their portability. Usually, models with active noise cancelling (ANC) do the best job at reducing the deep rumbling noises of bus or plane engines, but there are some in-ear headphones that block out lots of noise passively, too.

    Here are our top 10 best headphones for flights and travel purposes in 2021:

    #1: Sony WH-1000XM4 Wireless

    The Sony WH-1000XM4 Wireless headphone has a lot of cool features attached to it – for a start, the headphone lets you connect to two Bluetooth devices at once.

    Cool right?

    Its feature known as Speak to Chat automatically reduces the volume when you start a conversation, and you can have access to either Alexa or Google Assistant.

    Its touch sensor controls pauses your music automatically as you take off your headphones and once you put the headphone back on, your music resumes automatically, and by placing your hand on the headphone, you can easily reduce the volume of the headphone and hear ambient noise.

    You can also increase or lower the volume or take and make calls by a single tap or swipe on the panel of the headphone.

    #2: Shure AONIC 50

    The AirPods Max has no power button, with Apple instead relying on different power modes to preserve battery life and it comes with a smart case that puts the headphone in an ultralow-power state to preserve the battery charge when not in use.

    AirPods Max features the Active Noise Cancellation technology and the Transparency mode, Adaptive EQ, and spatial audio features that are in the AirPods Pro.

    Transparency mode allows ambient noise to still be heard even with Active Noise Cancellation turned on. This is great so one can hear flight announcements, horns of cars in traffic etc. Transparency mode is activated by pressing the noise control button on which is at the top of the headphone.

    Spatial audio gives the user a theatre-like experience and the Adaptive EQ feature provides a better personal sound quality to the listener.
