Sennheiser PXC250 have previously been mentioned on this list for traveling. 
They are noise-canceling headphones, and use AAA batteries to counter some of 
the background hum from engines, and presumably let one hear better at lower 
volumes.

They run about $125 new at Amazon and about $80 reconditioned at MacMall (I 
believe).

I haven't yet used them on a plane, but I like their sound and comfort at home.

The new ones I purchased came with a nice case that slips through one's belt, 
and would nicely hold the Bookport securely, but I haven't yet tried it to see 
if it would hold both the Bookport and the headphones together.

By the way, someone mentioned to not xray the Bookport at airport security. Is 
this really a concern? If my bookport is in my backpack, do I have to get it 
out of the backpack and hand-carry it when walking through the body scanner, or 
can it safely go through the bag-scanner?

Thanks. Keith

For those of you who travel with the Bookport... what headphones do you 
recommend, and what are the approximate prices?  I need something really 
portable but good-sounding and with volume.
