In a world where taking a flight is about as likely as Ireland winning the six nations this year, ANC headphones feel like a bit of a luxury. I bought my first ANC headphones back in the day travel — I just hated the drone of jet engines and turning up the volume didn’t make for a good alternative to proper noise-cancelling cans.

During my work from home life, wearing ANC headphones isn’t such a great idea as it’s easy to miss the doorbell and I hate it when someone taps you on the shoulder frightening the living daylights out of you because they couldn’t get your attention any other way.
