Sennheiser PXC 310 headset

Noise-cancelling headphones are a necessity for any frequent flyer, and if you have the money, the PXC 310 is an excellent example of what you'll need.

Sony Walkman X-series (16GB) NWZ-X1050

Great sound, brilliant OLED touchscreen, noise cancellation and as much YouTube as your Wi-Fi can handle. Shame about the extortionate price.

Reviews

Sony Walkman X-series (32GB) NWZ-X1060

After our preview, we're enchanted with the touchscreen Walkman, but fear that it will only appeal to a small minority of the MP3 player market, namely non-conformists and music aficionados with a burning touchscreen itch.
Denon AH-C751 sound-isolating earphones

Don't consider them a choice for your workouts, but for seriously impressive sound quality without being full-sized headphones, the AH-C751s are practically unrivalled.
Nokia 5700 XpressMusic

Although it's not brimming with features, Nokia's twisty 5700 is a decent enough music phone, but its poor quality headphones and other minor flaws let it down.
Creative Aurvana X-Fi headphones

The Creative Aurvana X-Fi headphones are a good option for bass-loving frequent fliers who have the money to spend and don't mind others eavesdropping on their listening experience.
Sony Ericsson W580i

Sony Ericsson's W580i is a sexy, thin slider that you'll want to carry in your pocket for its MP3 music player, radio or just to use the built-in pedometer.
JVC HA-NCX77

The JVC HA-NCX77 noise canceling earbuds inspire little complaint. Good sound quality, useful extras, and a relatively low price point make them a fine option for commuters and frequent fliers.
V-moda Vibe

The V-moda Vibe headphones are a great option for style-conscious bass-addicts looking for some worthy portable headphones.
Skullcandy Ti

If the design doesn't clash with your personality and bass response isn't at the top of your shopping checklist, the Skullcandy Ti headphones make a compelling purchase.
