Hi NM.
Just a quick question, hoping you can answer. I'm looking to purchase noise cancelling headphones or sound isolating earphones for long haul trip, and I did a search and found a few of your posts regarding the Shure E3's (sound isolating)
I'm drawn to the E3's as I think I will find the over ear NC headphones far to bulky for me to even try to sleep them on my head with as I tend to turn my head sideways to sleep.
I'm unsure what 'sound isolating's means, however with the E3's can you listen to the in-flight movies through them but with better sound drowning out the noises going on around you and then also as have them on to 'block' sounds around you when trying to sleep.
From my research I've figured that the noise cancelling enables you to listen to inflight movies at a better quality but still allows cabin sounds, however do the Ec's do the same function in terms of listening to an inflight movie as well as blocking cabin sounds while trying to sleep.
On my last trip from Singapore to sydney, I had to press the audio headsets given out by Qantas hard up against my ears to be able to hear the movie, and that became really really annoying for a 2 hour movie.
Also, I'm looking to purchase 2 sets of E3's (one for hubby) so I really want to get the right info on what they'll do before I lay out a fair bit of money, and I think your the guy in the know for this item therefore any information you could provide would be great.
Thanks
