Noise cancellation Headphone Q for Mike
What are some noise cancellation headphones that you recommend?
For example, is this thing any good?

The PXC 450 are a great option. I usually have them in stock but if you are interested in a pair, let me know and I can order them for you.
As Steve said, if you really want isolation, I would go for in-ear with a pair of Comply foam tip. The isolation will be just as good if not better and you can easily travel with them.

This is for my MIL who busted her Bose noise cancellation.
Just for my own comfort before I recommend to my MIL, is the PXC 450 better than the Bose?

I had the Bose QC3 and the PXC 450. I was just not a fan of the way the Bose fit, after some time I just couldn't keep wearing them. The PXC 450s were very comfortable and sounded great, I used them on a 14 hour flight and did not have any complaints.

That's comparing apples to oranges IMO. To compare the PXC 450s, you would want to try the Bose QC2. The QC3 is an on-ear fit, where the PXC 450 and the QC2 are around the ear fit. I can't stand the on ear fit of the QC3, but love my QC2s. In fact, they are why I splurged and bought the Bose Aviation X headsets for my aircraft as well.
The worksmanship looks very poor to me. One of the earphone piece fell off because the flimsy connector point snapped clean off.
