Active Noise Canceling Headphones $17.99

Update September 28th -- Checked on the price today and it's been reduced further to $17.99

I wrote a post in December about ways I do my air travel more comfortably, thanks to some gadgets that minimize the stress, noise and discomfort. One of the items I mentioned was noise-canceling headphones. These really tone down the loud drone of jet engines in your ears (and in the middle of your head) and let you listen to music, watch the movies or even just rest in relative quiet more easily.

Right now, buy.com has reduced the price of RCA HPNC500 Active Noise Canceling Headphones to $19.99, from the original retail of $99.99. They also include free budget shipping on these as well.

These headphones feature:
- 12dB Active Noise Canceling eliminates virtually all outside noise
- Deep, rich sound from 40mm driver
- Full-size earcups provide comfortable fit for long-term listening
- Swivel ear cups for easy storage in laptop cases
- Single-side cord entry keeps wires out of the way
- Airline adapter included
- Pouch included provides easy storage and protection on-the-go

There are higher-end headphones available for much higher prices, such as Bose headphones which go for $250-$300, that might make sense if you're a business traveler who flies continually. But for those of us who fly occasionally, headphones like these are an affordable way to make your next flight a little easier to take.
