I'm thinking of buying these to use with earbuds for airplane travel. Anybody ever try that? Can you take these apart to fit better in a suitcase?

They dont seem easy to take apart, maybe you can but i appears it would be a pain, take a lot of space ...and not too comfy, this ones do crush your head after about 30 minutes i wouldn't be able to wear them for 2-3 hours at a time

I have been using IE Bose earbuds for a couple of years housed in the carrying case. I have had no problems.

The headphones fold inside the headband. We used them in several trips and my daughter loves them on the plane. Small enough to travel with.

I'm pretty sure you can plug it into the plane. I can plug this into my iphone, and I can use my iphone headphones on the plane so I'm pretty sure you can. They're comfortable, personally I don't like to use headphones for too long.

On airplanes I have found that I need to remove the volume limiter. It is a deeper are piece that the headphones plug into before plugging it into the device you are using. I hope that helps :)

the directions say they can be used for both; I only used them for landing which is my problem. Yes, they worked for me. i did use them for an entire short flight on a small plane & i didnt have an issue either way. Follow the directions for correctly inserting in the ear & shouldnt have a problem.

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.

Have not tried on a plane, but have tried for noise-cancelling at home. Work at home writing and wanted earbuds to decrease traffic, lawnmower, construction and screaming baby noise. They don't work. They're ordinary low-priced earbuds, not true noise-cancelling devices. Went back to my Klipsch that I bought a few years ago. Oh well...

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.

Yes, they fit the earphone jacks on planes. I used them on an international flight.

I have used them for about four hours straight and didn't have an issue with them. I know its not as long as flying out of country. They were comfortable, really good memory foam around the ear cup. I would recommend them. Hope this answers your question.

I haven't had to travel with them, but unless you have a lot of room to store them when you travel, then you'd probably need to break them down. They weren't easy to assemble, I agree with you there!

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.

I use the small winder for those, and it's worked so far. Sometimes they get caught, and it looks like the inline volume part has the cord bent pretty sharply away from it at times, but so far it's just been an idle worry and hasn't caused any functional problems. If my earbuds stop working from being wound too right this way, I'll definitely post about it here!

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.

Jen,these will definitely fit your bose over the ear ( and much bigger) headphones with room for your ipod and headphone amp if you have one. Great unit but not a space saver in your suitcase. Cheers P

I sleep in them all the time--on airplanes. Never tried them at home, where I suspect earplugs might be more comfortable. Son Number Four uses earplugs from Amazon that come 200 to a container, orange.
