Are these good for use on a plane? Thinking of getting my husband a set for his birthday.

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. I would not recommend these headphones for longer flights.

Yes, they are small enough to pack easily and big enough to sound really good. Be aware that they isolate background noise pretty well but are not noise cancelling.

Yes I would think they would be, they are flat and easy to travel with, and they sound great.. HK is a well and long established name if audio, these are good phones. The 1/8 headphone cable fits iphone, ipad, kindle, and prob everything else. Don't hesitate to get them for your hubby!

If your husband loves clean deep sound, of course with such a gift will be very happy

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 don't know how much help this will, as I haven't flown in many, many years. Long story short, I got mine to use when I'm on the track. Thought I'd try using them while mowing my lawn one day. The riding mower was much too loud, however I could almost hear the songs. SO, if I could almost hear them while on the riding mower, I would assume you would be able to hear them on a flight. I hope this was somewhat helpful to you.

They are not "noise canceling" per se but I think they would do fine. They work great on a plane.

Yes perfect!! They are perfect for airplanes! I was really impressed! I am speaking from experience these are the best for travel!

I haven't used these on a plane, but I used to fly quite a bit and based on that past experience, I would say these would be OK, but they aren't going to beat Etymotics or a similar in the ear headphone for blocking flight noise. Despite what you read about the noise cancelling headphones, those were the best I ever found for quieting the ride. If that's your goal, and you fly a lot, look to the in-ear.

No, these are really not for portable use. Inner ear headphones are your best bet for planes.

Hello,Yes, as long as you have attached them to a FAA approved device! My 6 year old son uses them on the plane all the time.

I haven't used them for 'airplane rides', but they work very well on the shooting range, which is what I bought them for.

I've used these several times on planes and they work pretty well. It's not 100% cancellation, but enough that you don't really notice it. Only issue is if you're on the plane for >4 hours they can get a bit heavy.

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.

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.

No they are not. They aren't really sound isolating, either. So not great if you are on an airplane, but they are nice when running or cycling as they allow you to hear cars and people around you when using them.

Hi Mark, We haven't used them in the setting of a plane but my teen seems to have selective hearing when she has them on!!

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.

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...

Great. I travel on airplanes all the time with them and dont have an issue. Should be fine.
