Looking for recommendations for noise cancellation earbuds for a 14 hour flight. I’m looking for a good, solid workhorse and not the most expensive thing out there. i guess the $50-100 ballpark. My stuff either stays with me for years or is lost/tossed out pretty quickly.

If I need to trade off, I’ll go for comfort over the noise cancellation effectiveness. I also will pretty much use these exclusively on planes.

thanks in advance
