Can you use these on an airplane for noise reduction?

Depends solely on music choice, and eq settings of the app you use. Once you've passed the 3/4ths of the volume bar on your phone you get leakage. On pc, once you get pass about 30-40, library workers will start giving you the stink eye. They isolate good for quiet listening, but I wouldn't buy them for thst purpose.

It does a pretty good job at noise canceling without any music or sound. I'm not sure how it compares to others though... I would say yes.

Hi Brenda, this headphones doesn't have the noise cancelling feature but can be used on an airplane but it will not totally cancel out the noise. - Ella

I really don't know but don't see why they wouldn't significantly reduce the noise. I have to tell you I love mine but the wire is so cheaply made I don't use them very often. I use Koss Studio Headphones that are Bulletproof but very heavy. Good luck!

Yes. I use the Audio Technica for flying because it eliminates the droning of the engine and reduces the level of passenger conversation by a little bit (I'd guess around 25%). When I'm flying, I don't want to completely eliminate all sound - I want to be able to hear announcements, beverage service, etc... However, at work, my cube is in the middle of a noisy call center. To block most of the noise, I purchased the 3M Peltor X-Series Over-the-Head Earmuffs from Amazon. They are inexpensive (under $30) and they work. The headphones are bulky - they are similar to what you'd see someone wearing on a gun range or directing planes on an airport tarmac. But it's the bulk that enables them to work so well - the headphones provide a thick layer of noise-dampening material over your ears. The headphones all but eliminate normal-volume levels in the work place (you may hear a faint murmuring). Loud noises like laughing and sneezing can be heard, but the sound is very muffled. If you placed inexpensive foam earplugs in your ears and then wore these headphones over your ears, you'd probably be in complete silence.

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.

not likely. Some work to reduce or block certain types of noise. Such as airplane engine noise, but not loud music.

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

I don't think they are specifically designed for use on airplanes without music, however I do use them sometimes without music to quiet down the background noise of my 5 children.

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 not used them on a plane. As others have noted, they do cover the ear but any noise reduction is passive rather than active.

These are not *ACTIVE* noise cancelling headphones, but they do a pretty good job of blocking out ambient noise as long as you don't rest your head against the wall of the plane (window seat). [In that case the direct physical sound conduction is noticeable]. I use them on airplanes and I can run my audio volume at half and listen quite comfortably. By comparison, my ear buds require nearly full-blast volume on a plane and the audio still isn't clear.

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.

Yes.. Cos I did use them on the plane and they did mask out probably 90% of the noises made by human beings too

Not actively, you will get a small amount of isolation but not cancellation. It only filter low end and high end noises. I have central heating. It it noisy but with these on it gets a little quieter and lot quieter when I turn on the cancellation. I actually find they do not work well on airplane (too much still gets through, I had to use earplugs just lightly put in for partial blockage in addition for them to block enough noise) but when I was riding buses they worked great.

I'm not sure because we haven't had to use them on a plane yet. I mainly bought it so I wouldn't have to listen to my son's (annoying) video games through the adjoining bedroom wall night and day, lol. Id imagine you may be able to though, as it came with one of those little adapter things on the end to make the jack (plug-in) bigger or smaller, so it can be used on a TV, or a MP3 player, or a guitar amp, etc. I wouldnt take my word for it, but bet the smaller one would probably work in an airplane plug in.

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...

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.

From my experience, these would be about same effectiveness of any passive closed headphones. The noise cancellation is not very effective. I fly frequently with Bose Quietcomfort series headphones which are the best for planes.

You will hear muffled talk and other noises. What these are more known for are cutting out that decibel sound that a plane engine makes. I wore these in the house to cut the noise of a noisy air conditioner and I still heard it, which depressed me.
