^ Yep.
You do hear things approaching you, unless you have noise cancelling on and music playing very loudly. They do not block out all noise, but they do make a huge difference to the volume of the wind noise.
I can't remember now which end of the frequency spectrum it is, but noise cancelling works better at one end than the other—perhaps it blocks bass better than treble. I'll be sticking with my Bose QC 20s, until they cark at which time I'll look at the bluetooth QC 30s. Although if you can't plug them into the sound system on an aeroplane, I'm not completely sure I'd be interested.
Edit: Just read the specs and they have no pass through function which means they can't be plugged in. That's an issue as I've found the QC20s fantastic when travelling long haul.
