The cabin pressure feeling was a little strange, but not hugely dramatic. I noticed it on the Bose headphones, but not on the Apple Airpod (Pro)s.

I find noise cancelling cuts out a lot of background drone in aircraft, but not so much louder and more erratic noises like a washing machine, so I would consider buying in such a way you can return them if necessary. My original over-ear Bose went back as I bought them to cut down the noise when I was working from home and they were rubbish at this.

The Sony has very good reviews, but I haven't listened to them. The Bose frankly sounds a bit pants and only get used for listening to movies on an aircraft, the Airpods Pro get used for silence (although lost them briefly when they fell out of my ear - never fun the middle of the night on an aircraft!) and the Roxannes are used for music, but manage to cut out most of the noise, even without the music playing.

Hope some of this helps...
