I know somebody will poo poo this but when I was travelling a lot with our fuel dragster I bought a pair of the $300 Bose noise canceling headphones.
For everything I used them for, music, NPR and stand-up comedy as well as the movies (!) that they have on the plane, they were excellent.
If you just want to sleep, the noise canceling alone was worth it, very soft roar in the background instead of the giant rush of noise you get on a jet.
Comfortable too.
Price is steep, to be sure but 5 years ago they seemed the best, still have them, still use them although I fly a lot less now...now I seem to be visiting hospitals and getting cut than I do going racing!
