Noise cancelling headphones

On my recent trip to Australia I was able to fully test my new Bose noise cancelling headphones. These things are incredible. They reduce the roar of the aircraft engines to a soft whisper, making it much easier to relax and sleep. They also produce wonderful crisp sound from the in flight entertainment system. Now all we need to do is fix the tiny, fuzzy screen.

I had put off buying these, mostly because of the price (US$299) but recently I discovered that they were available in the American Express Membership Rewards catalog and that I had enough points (35,000). Now I'm saving my Amex points to get a pair for my wife! But even if you have to fork out cold, hard cash, they're absolutely worth it.
