I was thinking about just replacing mine with the latest Bose ones, but I might give these a try - problem is, no-one likes lending you their in-ear headphones - for obvious reasons! Hmm, OK.

That said, the Sony noise cancelling range is pretty good if you can bear a tiny bit of hiss. It would probably get annoying in a really quiet environment, but on a plane is unnoticeable, at least to me. For flying, they're great. The noise cancelling effect is especially good with the low frequency rumble of the engines. I find the NC22 earbuds pretty comfortable. Even more so with the memory foam replacements from the JVCs, which seems to cut out a lot of the higher frequencies too.

It's a question of having the right tools though... Once I had a cunningly shaped coffee stirer it only took about 10 mins of careful prodding to get them out!

I have a pair of aging Bose QuietComforts (the ones that were all the rage at one point), and I know they're going to die somewhere between LHR and Chicago at some point :) I'd love something a bit more compact. Do you have any idea how they would compare with the active noise cancellation on in-ear headphones like this? I’d be interested to know how the Sonys compare with the over-ear type.
