Kaz,

I have just purchased and used the E3G's (same as E3C but in Black) for a trip to Hong Kong around China and back. The sound quality was excelent, so good in fact that I had to use the lowest volume setting (one above off), otherwise the movie was way too loud. The fit and feel of the headphones was quite comfortable and they certainly keep out the cabin noise. You will never stop the aircraft vibration coming through, but certainly the rest of the cabin noise.

I had no problem sleeping with them in - had them connected to the iPod and with some nice soothing music, had the best sleep on a plane in ages.

I used to use Sony Noise Cancelling Headphones, but the Shure E3G certainly beats them hand down.

Cheers
