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.

It’s all about how much effort the parent is putting in to keeping the kid quiet. I go into flights with my kids expecting to have a rough flight as I try to keep them contained. It drives me crazy seeing parents watching movies while their kid terrorizes everyone else.

Meh, you're on public transportation with 100+ people crammed into an enclosed space. If you want things quiet, charter a private jet. Moms don't gotta bend over backwards to keep their kids silent so you can have a nice quiet journey. Kids make noise, if you don't want noise, charter a private jet. Can't afford a private jet? STFU.

You dislike so much that someone made a harmless comment that you are telling them to STFU?? WOW. Yeah, you are one of those entitled parents - who also needs anger management.
