How much noise isolation about will you achieve with these headphones? I am looking to use these on the airplane. How much quieter?

The noise isolation is superb. I use these at the gym and it does a great job at canceling out the music that the gym plays.

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

They are decent at noise isolation. I can tell that people are talking in my office around me with them on when listening to very quiet music. I can hear my keyboard keystrokes. I think I get about 15, maybe 20 db of noise reduction with the medium tips. You'll probably be able to tell you are on a plane, but will still be able to enjoy music without blasting it. I did not care for the included foam tips. I bought these to replace a set of Etymotic ER4Ps, which block 25-35 dB of noise. They are amazing in that regard.

These are not noise-cancelling phones. I use sony noise-cancelling MDR-NC13 which are IMHO much better thanmy bose noise-cancelling headphone for planes rides. They are also much more comfortable than wearing headphones when trying to sleep on the plane.However, the RHA MA750 are fantastic phones for my other-than-plane ride use.

Haven't used them on a flight, but they'd probably be decent though they don't have any type of active noise suppression. While they do come with foam isolation tips, I use Comply isolation tips that seem to provide more privacy - they're another 20 bucks for 3 pair, but worth it IMO.

I was impressed when I used them on a plane. I can't compare to active nose cancelation headphones, but it blocked a lot more noise than I had expected.

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'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.

We have only used ours at home and in the car, but we have no complaints. We love them! I believe these would work great in an airplane. One can be watching TV and the other sitting right there with his headphones I haven't gotten one complaint.

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.

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.

Sure, they are over-the-ear headphones. I've used them on a plane and found them fine. They won't beat a good pair of noise canceling headphones, but are decent.

I have to disagree entirely with this post. I just got these headphones for Xmas, and while sound quality is great with cancellation on and does stop outside noises well, the sound leakage is quite apparent. I wanted them as something to use at the office but I'm not sure I can now. While I don't know how much of an issue it would be on the plane, I'm pretty sure I would be able to hear whatever is playing for someone using them quite easily. I'm torn about returning them now. They sound great and the price is awesome, but the leakage is definitely an issue to think about. If you cannot deal with leakage I would not get these. I have to disagree entirely with this post.

No they will not, these headphones really are great in that aspect. The noise isolation is incredible. I have had multiple occasions where people have been trying to talk to me while I was using them, and I had no idea anyone was trying to talk to me. They told me they couldn't hear the music at all, but it was loud enough for me to not be able to tell anyone was talking to me.

I don't know, I tried them at home while trying to study for a major exam, and they weren't that good at noise cancellation at all. I'm getting ready for an international flight n I'm looking to get some Bose instead for my flight. Good luck!

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)

I suppose it depends on what types of noise you are trying to not hear.. I wear them to bed and I don't hear anything but the audio book I am listening to.. I took them on my recent flight and I didn't hear the hum of the plane while in flight.. so I personally find they are pretty good at blocking out outside noises.. But I don't use them for any high end work or need to use them for any such, I am purely a casual user (over age 35), I don't have to turn the volume way up to reduce outside noise either. I hope this helped!

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.

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

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.

and I used the headphones on a flight to and from Australia, fromt he east coast of the USA. Not too many flights int he world longer than that. One set of batteries got me all the way there and back and I had them working with the noise cancellation on the entire time.

On Ear phones is normally not a good choice to use on airplane. But Mikros 90 has a very good isolation. You better to audit first by yourselves.
