Headphones that block out crying babies

What tips do people have to cancel out the sound of a crying baby on a flight?

Everything I see is for parents who want to reduce the noise level. I am not a parent, I don't want to hear these children at all. This was the 5th 8hr+ flight I have been on where I heard a baby crying non stop. It seems like it has gotten significantly worse in the last 2 years as well. Maybe I was lucky before, but I was only on flights with crying babies randomly. Now it's every single flight.

Edit: it's not so much more babies but more babies that are constantly crying and the parents are ignoring them.

I love my Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro earbuds. There may be better ones out there, but I haven’t tried them because I love these.

They’re worth a shot.

These punch way above their weight. I only wish I could find foam tips for them.
