Hi all, going on a bunch of long haul flights next year and trying to pick out a set of headphones with ANC.

Normally fly domestic often with the ol' reliable HD201s.

Am I best to just wait until the next TaoTronics TT-BH060 Amazon deal? Popular in the forums.

Sennheiser PXC 250 II seemed appealing except for the price.

Not wanting Bose QC35 or 25. I know they're excellent, but I'll be pissed at myself when I lose them or break them.

TaoTronics TT-BH22.

You can usually get them for around $60 on sale. I use them every day, and they are excellent at that price point!

Probably the best bet or the TT-BH22. I've been happy with the TT-BH22 - the ANC is not the best but has great sound nonetheless.

  Are the BH22's just an older version? They seem similar but have the older BT standard.

    I believe the BH22s are older.

The latest bluetooth headphones from Aldi look to be copies of the QC35. If the design is similar they should do well for comfort on long flights and the design of sealing the ear pads around your ears is worth it even if the electronics are substandard.

  I did see these. No ANC.

I have these for flights for my 4 year old. They work pretty well.

  Fake reviews are concerning…TaoTronics seem to have a lot more reviews on YT etc.
