Noise, Cancelled.
Ahhh, the beautiful sounds of a soft bossa nova to help lull you quietly to a restful doze, João Gilberto lazily singing and strumming on his guitar. The subtleties of the picking of the strings, the quiet noises the audience makes, all add to make the recording full of life and very relaxing.
The really amazing part, however, is that I’m listening to this on an aeroplane. The volume is at normal levels, and the background noises are subdued enough not to interfere. A few weeks ago, I thought myself crazy for spending what I did on yet another pair of headphones. Today, as I settle into almost 24 hours of air travel, I wonder why I haven’t done this sooner.
So, to anyone who may be in a situation where noise would do better to not be heard, I strongly urge you to consider a pair of quality, noise cancelling headphones. I highly doubt you’ll regret it.
Also, having 3 seats to stretch out across doesn’t hurt either.
