I recently pick up the Aiwa cn5 headset from radio shack -lrb- ~ $ $ $ -rrb- and be pleasantly surprise at how a low-cost nc headset could perform . I also use higher-end one when fly my plane , but they be WAY too bulky for portable electronics -lrb- cd\/dvd -rrb- on commercial flight . anyway , Aiwa headset sound fine , but have no padding on the plastic band which scrape my hairless head top ! bring along a feel pad or something or it will get annoying very quickly ! all-in-all , I would recommend pick up a set .
