Spends hundreds of euros on a flight. Cant buy a noise cancelling heqdphone or earphone. I kinda assume a babys gonna cry when i fly because 200 people closed in an aluminium cylinder together isnt the most pleasant experience.

Noise cancelling headphones don't work against babies. They are designed for cancelling ambient sound by playing frequencies to cancel out the noise, but can't predict sudden noises like children crying very well. Earplugs or earbuds do a better job at drowning those out by plugging your ears from outside noises

Well mine wark great with babies crying as well but i do have 350€ headphones sooo

Same here. Mine were also about $350 and if I have the full quiet mode on, I can't hear anything aside from my music. Well worth the money.

proper earbuds will block out most everything. get ones that actually fit into your canal and play something you'd rather hear. when I put mine in, I literally can't hear anything but my music.

I wear both when angle grinding (at the same time). It cuts out the higher frequencies fairly well. Don't fly much though.

Hell, after dealing with airports I want to cry. I just have a bit more self control than the infants and toddlers.

Not much more, mind you.
