Are they good for reducing jet noise on long haul flights?

Maybe. My daughter uses these to reduce sound as she plays the drums. She can still hear the song she is accompanying but at about 1/2 the sound.

They block out noise well. I used them on a few flights, had a seat near the engines and it did not bother me at all, I could hear the movie from my iPad very well

I did use it on airplane and noise isolation was acceptable. It is not the same as active noise cancellation but if you keep volume high enough and use right tips, you should be able to achieve decent isolation

Airplanes use the standard 1/8" mini plug, which is what these headphones come with. They are not noise reducing (with white noise) but they cover your ears. Highly recommended

I'm going to say no. I find it will muffle the sounds but you won't get a total silence with these. This set is meant to work more on a plane to drown out that whiny decibel annoying sound. And even on a plane you can hear people talking, but again it's muffled.

I have used these many times on airplanes. They block out a significant amount of the noise. I put on soft music at a very low volume and sleep soundly...or just turn on the noise cancellation circuitry and block out the constant whoosh of the aircraft flying through the air. I gave a pair to one of my sons who travels a lot and he now swears by them.

Not too bad, but of course they're not really designed as noise-cancelling specifically. I wore them on a 14 hour flight from LA to Sydney and it certainly made a difference though.

Have not used them on a plane, but I think they would be very effective for filtering out environmental noise.

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.

They dampen noise, but are not silencers. I can wear these on airplanes and hear people talking just fine, but the overall noise level is seriously reduced. It assists one to ignore the noise more easily. Depending upon your ability to ignore soft noises, these may or may not work for you.

They don't totally block jet noise but they certainly take the edge off it. They're far better than ordinary headphones / earphones - I'm quite happy with mine.

I have only used them when flying and they are very effective suppressing the noise and protecting my inner ears. They have dual type of usage for noise control...

I Found on ear headphones better at noise isolation,these headphones are also a bit to heavy for long flights.

I strongly advise against the use of these for the purpose you suggested, if your flight is medium to long haul. Like all noise protection devices, these are heavily sprung for the reason of better noise dampening. The pressure on ear would be painful with increased time (>2 hours) . Full rounded cups would be more comfortable (like pilots wear, racing pit crew, airport staff, etc..). Perhaps occupational types are better suited for your needs.

I wore them on airplane sitting next to jets, and let me tell you, it was PHENOMENAL. I barely heard the roar, and it was very comfortable listening to music on LOW volume....So i would say they're noise-canceling.

Not sure as I haven't tried it for that use. But I do put them in on an airplane to cut down on the engine noise and they work pretty well. The different earbud tips give you flexibility to get a snug fit which should also help relative to alternatives.

For airplane use I would buy the noise cancellation ones that cover your entire ear. They are a lot better for clarity and more comfortable.
