“I love to travel but always get anxiety when flying. One of the things that triggers it are the loud jet noises. They really are noise-canceling, too, which is great for when the plane takes off. I just pop them on and I’m in my own little world listening to my favorite tunes.”

It's the best way to listen to podcasts or audiobooks and talk to relatives via WhatsApp, particularly if AirPods keep falling out of your ears.
