For Those Who Don't Bose, There's Always the Duty Free Headphones
Whatever class you're in, however spiffy you look, airline headphones suck. But if, like us, you're one of those people who class Bose as too expensive/ostentatious, we have a solution for you.
Recently, flying London-Heathrow to Vegas on British Airways, we were handed standard terrible economy headphones. We were trying to lipread Bridesmaids. It was bad. Then, after a couple of drinks and some flicking through the Duty Free catalogue, we saw these: Jivo rosewood noise reducing headphones, for £28. We were tipsy, liked the sound of rosewood, and bought them, still assuming they'd be pretty rubbish, what with them costing a fraction of Bose prices.
But you know what? Best drunk purchase ever. They're outstanding. We went from having the volume full blast, and still not making out the words, to even its lowest level being too loud. Just incredible. And, if you fly longhaul a lot as we do, life-changing.
We bought them on BA, but you can get them from the Jivo website here for €29.99 (about the same price), or on Amazon for £21. Which is definitely a price worth paying.
Bose, schmoze. Unless you've got a wad of cash to blow, try Jivo (and this is a completely honest review, prompted by our legitimate delight).
