Looking for a decent pair of noise-canceling headphones that aren't too pricey, say $125 max. Any suggestions among the community?

I have a pair of audio-technicas that were that much. Great noise reduction, good sound quality. Only issue is people can hear it pretty easily. Doesn't really matter on a plane though.
Have used them flying all over the world for about 5 yrs with no issues. Takes a single AAA battery that lasts about 50hrs.

I've been looking into some as well. I'm particular to Bose but the pricing has me double guessing them. The big ones are awesome ($299) but haven't tried the ear bud version ($299).
Not sure of any others and I'm not sure how good Bluetooth ones are either. I'd hate to spend money for headphones that might scratch the sound and zone out for brief periods of time.

You gotta go wireless at this point... Within two years, wires for headphones will be obsolete. Going to make it pricier, but worth it.
FTR I have Beats Studio Wireless headphones. Overpriced for sure, but I still like them.

Did you ever try the ear bud version? Stores don't let you try them out, for good reason, but I'd be interested to hear a comparison.
Also, the sport version may be more up my alley without the noise cancelling technology. I would not mind either but I don't fly often enough to get them for that purpose... the over the ear ones. I've only ever used the Apple ear buds and never ventured into other brands.

Pretty much any over the ear closed back headphones are going to cancel out the noise around you. These Audio Technica are the best headphones for the money. They are better than headphones that sell for triple the price and might be the most common headphone in professional recording studios. http://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-ATH-M50-Professional-Monitor-Headphones/dp/B000ULAP4U

Wireless is cool, but if sound quality is a concern, Bluetooth is not the answer. You lose sound quality.

My wife has those and likes them. But the last time we travelled together she tried mine and said mine worked better. I haven't tried hers.

I have these - the non air canceling in-ear buds. Love them. Easily the best fitting ear buds I've seen in that $100 price range. I wear them every day for hours.

I use the Bose in-ear buds. They work great. I think they're better than the over ear Bose headphones, and they are great for travel because they pack into a small case. I paid $300.

Those Bose never go on sale. I've seen a 10% sale before but that is not often at all. Ugh!

I bought some noise cancelling earbuds last summer after doing a lot of research. I didn't want to pay for the Bose and ended up with these Audio Technicas and have been really happy.
They've got good sound and the only think I'd complain about is the noise cancelling box on the wires is in a kind of funny position if you want to clip it to anything.
