For Air Travel: Able Planet Clear Harmony Noise-Canceling Headphones $44.99 (55% Off)

If you've read my blog post about having a "faux first class kit" for more comfortable airplane travel, you know that one of the items I consider terrific to have along is (are?) noise-canceling headphones. Eliminating most of the heavy drone of the jet engines, the sound of crying infants and loud conversation makes every flight a bit less taxing.

If you are a very frequent flyer, perhaps a set of Bose® headphones would be worth the $300-$350 investment, but for most people who fly just occasionally that might be a steep investment. But other good makers of headphones have models that are almost as effective, and when you can find them on sale (you never find Bose® on sale), you can save even more.

Right now, Buy.com is selling Able Planet NC200 Clear Harmony Foldable Active Noise Canceling Headphones with Linx Audio™ for $44.99. These retail for $99.99, so you are getting 55% off. Free budget shipping is included.
