​Flight testing the Focal Headphones
We are off to Sri Lanka, which is an exciting country to visit again. BUT, we are flying from Sydney to Hong Kong, with a 5-hour layover and then to Colombo. The return trip is via Singapore and onto Sydney, which equals over 30-hours of transport!
The good news was that it was a wonderful visit to Sri Lanka and made even better by the choice of our noise reduction headphones, which made all those hours in aircraft and terminals so much easier.
Come fly with me, in noise comfort ...
