Jawbone Icon HD & The Nerd headset
 Wireless Bluetooth connectivity makes the Jawbone Icon HD & The Nerd headset (HK$1,118) a faux pas at 40,000 feet, but the height of convenience for anyone wanting quiet time on the ground with a laptop or iPad. Apple Store, IFC mall, Central, tel: 3972 1500
Bose QuietComfort 3
An in-cable remote for an iPhone and a mic for hands-free iPhone calling are handy extras on the Bose QuietComfort 3 (HK$3,000), which uses a battery that can stretch to 25 hours. Bose, IFC mall, Central, tel: 3100 0080
Denon AH-NC800
 Its reassuring build quality is almost as impressive as the mile-high hush created by the Denon AH-NC800 (HK$3,075), which folds together. KEF Store, 2/F Cubus, 1 Hoi Ping Road, Causeway Bay, tel: 2877 1778
Phiaton PS300NC
 Ideally sized for easy portability, the Phiaton Primal Series PS300NC (HK$2,890) combines a headband design with soft ear pads and two rechargeable battery packs that are perfect for long flights. HMV Style House, The Park Lane, Causeway Bay, tel: 2504 3669
Sennheiser PXC450
 As well as battery-fuelled noise cancelling, the foldable Sennheiser PXC450 NoiseGuard (HK$3,180) travel headphones feature a TalkThrough feature that allows the wearer to click a button to momentarily hear the flight attendant, before returning to silence. Kingsound Headphone Shop (headphone.com.hk) Golden Era Plaza, 39 Sai Yee Street, Mong Kok, tel: 3586 0201
Audio Technica ATH-ANC23
 Effective noise-cancelling in-ear phones are rare, but Audio Technica's ATH-ANC23 QuietPoint (HK$610) negate about 90 per cent of ambient sounds. They use a single AAA battery and comfortable foam pads. True Sound, 102 Des Voeux Road, Central, tel: 2845 0813
Etymotic Research hf3
 Available in black, ruby and cobalt, the soft touch Etymotic Research hf3 (HK$1,399) earphones are a good value all-rounder, isolating just enough noise while airborne and offering complete integration with an iPhone - and that includes hands-free call answering. Music Station, Shop 315, Sim City,  47-51 Shantung Street, Mong Kok, tel: 2366 6655
