Has anyone ever tried them on a airplane? How well does it work on long flights?

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.

I am buying them specifically for air travel. They not only block noise, they help with pressure changes during ascending and descending. They fit deep enough that you can wear headphones over them. My daughter (age 11) and I wear them on all our flights specifically for the pressure changes. Our flights average 3 hours and they are very comfortable.

I have not used them on a plane, but I sleep in them every night due to a husband that snores like a chainsaw. They work very well and are comfortable.

You can use them on a plane, you can use them on a train. You can use them in a box; you can use them with a fox. In a car! In a tree! They are so good, so good, you see! You can use them here or there; you can use them anywhere! You will so like them Nazir-I-Am!

You might get them to work on a plane if you have an adapter. I have not tried to use them with any plane entertainment systems.

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!

It's been a long time since I've been on an airplane so I can't remember how loud they are. But I think that they would work fine for any flight.

Yes they do. A little uncomfortable until you get used to them. I took two flights of about the same duration, first one without: big headache, second one with: felt great at end of flight.

I bought these in April and have flown from Houston to New York and back twice with them. They cancel the noise very well. Last night, I slept on the plane with them in my ears but no music on and even that cut down the noise. The cables don't get in the way of sunglasses. Zero problems with prolific use.

The headphones come with a two prong adapter. Planes have two styles depending on the year it was built; the more modern single prong connector which has two area's of contact on a single prong or the two prong connector that channels sound to the right and left ear. This headphone set will work with both given the adapter. I used these on a flight to and from the Philippines (22 hour flight time one way) without needing to replace the batteries and I used them nearly constantly during both flights. So, from one set of batteries I got greater than 40 hours of use and they were still going strong.

I don't know if you can use it on an airplane. Check with the airlines. You can plug it into your computer. It has the capability to work with a USB port. Not much help. Sorry.

I have. Their size is a little tough for long flights, as they slip around on the ear a bit, making it tough to sleep. The sound quality is fine, though. I've never really believed that true Noise-cancelling was all that necessary as long as you have good coverage in an over-ear set.

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.

Rini, I'm sorry but we have not used it on an airplane yet. We have not had an opportunity to use it on an airplane. Wish we could be more helpful.

I have had these for a couple months now and I love them. As far as canceling out noise, they do a pretty good job at it. I take public transit like the bus/BART and for the most part it blocks most, if not all, when the volume is about half way. I am certain they would perform well on a plane.

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.

The sound isolation is pretty effective, I haven't used them on a plane but I have used them while playing drums and they cut out a lot of the extra noise.

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.

I've used these on a ten hour flight and they were really good ( but I was in front of the wings, however close to three babies) Sorry I can't compare to active noise cancelling headphones.

Randy...did you use it with your touch? I'm about to go on a long 14 hour flight and would love to know if this works.Thanks!
