I bought cast iron pan which I think is the best ever purchase I made.

Noise cancelling headphones. My work requires a lot of air travel and I have trouble with loud noises in general. I bought a pair a year or so ago for just under $70 and it's as good or better than the more expensive one ($150 refurbished) I got in 2017. It also has a mode to let the external sound through if someone is trying to talk to you.

It really does eliminate some of the annoyance of air travel.

May I ask which model you got?

I'm like 85% certain mine are responsible for my tinnitus, so I'd have to rate mine as worst purchase of all time.

That's awful! I've heard that tinnitus is an absolute misery.
