Agreed.. the P7's plus a small portable amp/ dac will drown out the engine noise on a plane. But to do this I have to turn it up louder than usual cause the engine sounds drown the bass a bit.
With the PX I can get away with lower levels which is better as far as preserving hearing in the long run.
I just use a set of Shure SE846's IEM's (or cheaper ones if too expensive) which are so good at isolating sound when inserted no need for ANC, plus sound better than most headphones anyway. I work in a server room with lots of constant loud fan noise but only time I hear even a hint of noise is the gap between tracks. Only problem is I can't even hear if anyone comes in, stands behind me and starts talking! I've developed a 6th "presence" sense
No ANC headphones sound good compared to my SE846's/HD660S. Just use via a tiny Dragonfly Red straight out of my phone. Super lightweight & portable.
(I appreciate not everyone can get on with IEM's)
