headphones

I mentioned in my post on my trip to Copenhagen (and I really should post about the rest of the trip and seminar, which was wonderful) that I had used some noise cancelling headphones (by Maxell) and they made a difference in the journey. There's a review article on them in the NY Times. The kind I have (the cheap ones, roughly equivalent of the JVC, pretty compact but comfortable) don't work as well as the Bose et al, but they certainly work better than not having noise cancelling headphones.
