I've only tried the cheap Maxell brand. They're cushion on-the-ear type.

They do cut the noise somewhat if used simply as silencers.

They do NOT cut the noise enough to actually listen to anything using them as headphones during flight --- checking the level of the volume setting, to be able to hear music through them, the amplifier has to be set well up into the dangerously loud range just to overcome the cabin noise level.

I just use earplugs nowadays.
