Can these headphones be used to listen to inflight movies or would i need to purchase an airplane adaptor?

Hi Nancy, Thanks for your interest in our headphones! As Vicki says below, our 3.5mm cable that comes with each headphone for wired backup use will work on the traditional female to male jacks and not on the ones with the two holes as is on your plane. Buying an adapter is your best bet and you are clearly prepared! Please do reach out to us should you have any questions/concerns/issues in the future. Thank you very much for your purchase and support of our small business. I wish you and your family safe travels! Jacquie co-founder, LilGadgets

I can't say for sure, but my husband says that he thinks you could use these on a plane. We have been on planes that have two types of connections. These headphones would definitely work on the kind that you just have the one male connection plugging into the female. Other planes have a different sort of connection and these would not work. You would need to find out what kind of plane you'll be on, and Google what type of equipment is on that plane. www.seatguru.com might give you that info...not sure.

I don't know the answer to this question but I would definitely suggest that you contact the company to ask. They have fabulous customer service!!

Yes. You can use them on any MP3 player with a regular headphone jack. The controls on the cord may not work with it but the headphones will work. They do make this same headphone without the 'I' for MP3 players. As far as the airplane... It would depend whether or not you needed and adapter. If it takes a regular 3.5mm jack it will work fine.

I would think they would work with any device that holds the standard headphone jack. I agree with the comment below by L. Kramberg. This is my first pair of noise-canceling headphones, but they don't seem to cancel any noise when I am on a plane or taking a walk. You'd probably have to spend a lot more money to get a set that truly does that. I like the feel and sound, though; but I'd have been just as fine buying a Sony or similar headphone for half the price I paid for these.

I don't think so. It only has one plug, but airplane systems are dual (sorry, don't know the terminology). You can buy an aircraft headphone adaptor.

Being a non-flyer I can't answer that part of the question. They work great for listening to movies on my computer, either DVD or streaming.

Hi Tom: No, you must use the provided adapter for aviation headphones, then use a large audio to headphone adapter (not provided) in order to use regular headphones. It will still transmit via the body mic unless you also plug the boom mic from the headset into the adapter. Good unit, great battery life.

If you aren't listening to a media (cd, movie), you will still be able to hear some sound with these headphones on. If you want total silence, I would get noise cancelling. Our daughter never really had a problem with the airplane noise, in fact, it made her naps on the plane longer! :-) good luck!

They are terrible for airplane use. I suggest the cheapest noise cancelling headphones you can find for this purpose. My kids could barely hear using an iphone playing a movie on a plane.

Any headphones will work as long as you either have a 3.5mm pair or an adapter. I have used several types with no problems.

if you are looking for plane use i would not suggest this headphone as the isolation is low. you will be better off getting a close Can design or a active noise cancellation set. If you use it on a quite place, then this headphone sound wonderful. As for Ohm rating, what do you use to power the headphone? if you are using direct from you HP, MP3 player or direct from the airplane jack, you should buy the 32 OHM version. else you can try the 600 OHM if you have an amp

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.

Fits into a standard 3.5mm headphone jack. You can use adapters for airplanes and larger headphone jacks.

Yes, you can connect to the airline entertainment system. But to hear better, you'd probably also need some headphones that are bigger and completely surround your ears. Actually, maybe you should try getting some headphones first.

Yes, you can listen to music, but in my Review I was referring Price vs. Sound Quality, also lets say your on a plane & you turn on your music, the headphones produce a noise so you'll only hear your music & not the plane's engine or a reduced level, to make your music the primary sound heard. if you don't want the noise cancelling feature off, click the button & you can listen in regular mode...

this will work on a plane if the jack is a standard 3.5mm jack if not you'll need an adapter.

They're not the actual noise canceling-type headphones which are more expensive, but I can use them on a plane and block out the noise and it does dull any outside noises A LOT so they should work just fine.Case in point: I play music to go to sleep with these headphones, and I slept through a burglar alarm going off in the apartment I was staying in (the cat set it off). I blame the headphones. Whoops...

Unfortunately I think it depends on the airline - some still use an odd two prong type of jack. And while these are good headphones for the price, they really are somewhat bass heavy and I don't think they would be ideal for a plane. If you are flying a lot, you seriously may want to consider decent noise cancellation headphones. Using headphones on planes really isn't ideal anyway because people wind up cranking the volume too much and it can damage your hearing. Decent noise cancellation headphones cut out some of the loud droning noise that you hear constantly while in a plane or pretty much any kind of vehicle.
