#24 Bose QuietComfort Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones
This product was recommended by Matilda Geroulis from The Travel Sisters
My Bose noise cancelling headphones are must have travel items for me because they block out most background noise. No more having to worry about babies crying on flights, having to make awkward conversation with my fellow travelers or being stuck in a hotel room with loud neighbors or street noise. These trusty noise cancelling headphones solve all these problems. My headphones are always packed in my carry on bag when I am flying – I pull them out to block out loud noise when I am trying to sleep and when I don’t feel like having a conversation with fellow travelers. The model I have is on the pricey side (there are cheaper options) but they are definitely worth it for me.
