Just returned from Turks and Caicos and both legs of the trip to and from the British island were hellish and a total nightmare! I can handle my luggage taking a flight 10 hours later. I can also handle the mother changing her baby in the seat in front of me but the screaming kids both in front of and in back of me ON EVERY FREAKING LEG OF THE FLIGHT pushed me over the top! I'd have given my right arm for either some plugs or better yet some good isolating canal phones. BTW, did I mention that American Airlines has some of the LOUDEST darned engines in the industry!? Several times I wondered if a window was open
or perhaps I'd been given a seat on the wing!
After working the search(thank goodness thats back!!
), I've gotten the impression that the Ety's have the best performance in terms of isolation. True? Opinions? Suggestions?
Finally, just how much isolation am I looking at with these phones? Frankly, I'm willing to sacrifice quality(
blasphemy I know but you'd have to have been on the plane with me to understand the level of torment I endured) for the highest level of isolation. Know the UE lineup is likely the best but I can't do that much for canal phones right now.
Appreciate any help as I absolutely refuse to go through that again!
BTW, avoid American at all costs. Uuuggghhhh!!!
