Cutting Airplane Noise

Nothing is more annoying than the constant hum of airplane engines when you're flying internationally. Well, maybe crying babies. Whether you're watching a movie or listening to music, the noise just doesn't go away. Unless of course you have Able Planet's new Clear Harmony NC1050 headphones. The company uses Linx Audio technology, which was developed for hearing aids, plus active noise canceling, to create an enhanced audio experience without the background noise. $349.99 at www.ableplanet.com.
