You've obviously not tried it at home, or you'd know better. Even when I was flying my own plane which had a single-prop engine, it reduced the noise level by about 80%, and that is clearly not white-noise like in a passenger jet.

I own the bose QC, and think they sound like ass compared to the B&Ws.
As I said, good for a plane, but that's about it.
I think if ANC headphones were good, they'd use them in studios. But they don't.
End of a review of hi end ANC headphones on a audio site:
"Bottom line: I'd stay away from noise canceling headphones if possible. But if you're a regular plane or train commuter, or find yourself regularly in loud environments needing peace and quiet and don't want in-ear headphones stuck in your ear canals, noise cancelers are probably the way to go."
But at the end of the day, everyone's ears are different and if you like them, then great. I'll use them on a flight, but use my B&Ws the rest of the time.
