Thing about getting these for our 2 1/2 yr old daughter to use on plane. How is the sound quality for only plane use? thx

They would do just fine, volume and sound quality are good......when they are working

Our daughter was 5 when we got ours--mainly for plane trips and some car trips. I haven't tried them myself, but she loves them.

Worked for my 2 1/2 yr old on a plane - she could hear it, I couldn't, so I'd say that is fine.

I was very happy with the sound quality - the volume limiter worked as advertised, when the headphones actually worked. I found that they were outputting mono instead of stereo sound after a handful of uses.

My daughter had a hard time hearing on the airplane. I adjusted the volume on her tablet to the max and that helped but they aren't loud because they are meant to protect children's ears.

I really like my headphones, but honestly believe that a good set of earplugs would work better. They will work without music playing. I sometimes do this on a plane. They do an excellent job of blanking out the engine drone but I can still hear people talking (albeit at a much reduced volume)

We used them with the iPad for our toddler on the plane and they worked great. I tried them on and could hear everything fine.

I don't think these reduce airplane noise per say but they are noise canceling headphones and works real well at home or when on road trips in the car, I haven't tried using them on a airplane yet but I think you should consider these headphones.

My son said they would be great! He used them on the airplane to go home to Germany and they blocked out 95 percent of the noise. He could also hook up to his ipod and switch over to phone. Great product!!

I have not compared, but I generally have not used any active headphones that are acceptable for general use (from a fidelity perspective). As I only want one pair, and flights are a small component for me, I would use these as they seal off ambient noise quite well. I have not used them on a plane yet, but am certain they will not isolate that noise very well. f you can afford two sets and wish to carry two on trips, get noise cancellation. If you want one set and fidelity is key, get a better single set.However, maybe there are great active sets out there that I have not tried.

My 7-year old used them on a 6-hour flight, she didn't complain of not being able to hear. They would definitely fit kids in a similar age range, maybe ages 4-12... others might have a different answer.

I would not recommend these headphones for longer flights. They do in fact sound great and diminish external noise just by the way they fit. However, they are not Noise Canceling headphones and have no electronic technology that diminshes external noise like the low hum of an airplane's jets. Moreover, the strength of the metal headband and the firmness of the ear cups can cause discomfort on the ears if the headphones are worn for an extended period of time (1.5+ hours). I would recommend that you search for headphones that have high ratings for comfort as well as noise canceling abilities.

Yes! I love them and use them all of the time. They are great and satisfy my needs. I've also found them to be great on an airplane. I can't say that you'll hear no noise, but you'll have no trouble hearing what you are listening to on the Fire.

I haven't used them in an airplane.. but in the car and other noisy places they work great. They do not electronically cancel noise. But they do naturally cancel a lot of noise. I have worn them a collage without anything playing just because they cut out so much noise. Bass is great, clarity is perfect. I would recommend these over any other pair

Never used them on a plane, but even though they are 'closed-back', they are not designed for noise cancellation. Nor will they completely prevent audio from being leaked to others around you at higher volumes. Although....one could humorously argue that the clarity of the high frequency range response may very well drown out high pitched engine noise. Honestly, for noise cancellation, you probably want any decent set of isolation headphones. These ones are solely designed for clarity and reference.Good Luck!

The sound leakage based on a person talking normally is not bad sometimes you can't hear them at all and if you do hear people talking, it'll be more like murmur. You can use them on a plane, but I think you need to get a different jack for it. I am not sure about using them in a professional setting because I have never used them in that circumstances before. Overall it's a very good quality headphones for its price. Hope this helps.

I have used them on planes before. They work well especially if you are near the rear of the plane. I usually wait for my ears to adjust to cruising altitude before putting them in.

Not particularly good on airplanes as they don't seal out ambient noise. Excellent in the house. I use sennheiser noise canceling units for plane travel.

Hi, I bought these for the plane ride to Asia. She didn't say she couldn't hear anything so it worked out for us.

I have these for my almost 3 year old daughter. I purchased them for the purpose of watching movies in the car. However I had my 11 year old try them on and she said that due to the padding around the ears they do block out some noise while listening to music or media. I'm not comfortable saying they are noise canceling. I will say they are fantastic headphones for toddlers.
