Need to have a portable screen as well to shield the ambiance noise to go with that portable rig.

Interesting all the comments about the pricing.     From marketing perspective, Sennheiser doesn't seem to make full advantage of this model.  It's like sponsoring a racing team for brand promotion, but not selling a mass market version.  Even with all expensive headphones (Stax, Abyss...

I retired my QC15 after purchasing those.  The noising canceling is about the same to my ears, but QC20 is just so much more comfortable.  I bough the Sony NC85D by mistake in Narita airport, and I can report that both sound quality and NC are inferior.   I had Momentum for a little while...
