SONY WH-1000XM3 Wireless Noise-Cancelling Headphones
Just an FYI. I know a number of people have posted here looking for good noise cancelling headphones. Per the reviews I've read and watched, the SONY WH-1000XM3 WIRELESS NOISE-CANCELING HEADPHONES are supposed to be the best of the best out there right now, even trumping the BOSE QC 35's. At any rate, DROP has them available right now for $289/free shipping which is a fair drop from their normal $349 price tag.

I have a pair of these and they are great.

Just wore them from SFO -> OGG and back watching movies on my tablet.

Over four hours in the air with a kid screaming right behind me? No problema!

I recently bought a pair after trialing the 1000XM3 and the Bose 35’s.

Sorry for the comparison bigdeal. I'm slow but I get there eventually.

Listen to them both and pick the one you like. They have very different sound profiles.

The new Bose 700s will be a little better than the QC35's in noise cancellation, and a lot better for phone calls.

Wireless connection (Bluetooth) to my iPad or Microsoft Surface.

They charge via USB-C.

This really wasn't offered up as a comparison thread. I simply was trying to let anyone interested in the SONY's know they're currently on sale.

Looking for some current thoughts on noise canceling?

That's a pretty good deal.

We've got 2 pair in our house. Would highly recommend if someone is looking for a set of noise canceling headphones.

I just treated myself to a new pair of wireless headphones. Though I ended up keeping the Bose 700s over the Sony XM3, the noise cancellation of the Sony model was incredible. Bluetooth headphones have certainly come a long way.

Weird is a side effect of awesome.

Don’t overlook the Apple AirPod Pros. I bought a set to mow my 3 acre yard. Great noise canceling ability.
