How are these for noise isolation during flights?

Haven't flown with them but I have no problems on city buses. However, when I did fly frequently I learned that there's no substitute for noise reduction technology.

I used a pair like these, with passive noise cancellation, on a plane and they were actually pretty good. It will not stop the ear pressure due to altitude, but you wont hear a thing

They do good on flights, even though they do not have noise cancellation, with music on and a good seal, they block out ambient noise well.

Noise cancelling, which actively cancels out incoming sounds, is not found on this headset. Noise isolating, which passively blocks incoming sounds, is what this set of headphone does, and it does a descent job. You can still hear external sound, but it's muffled. I used these on a plane recently and they worked just fine. I would give these a 7 or 8 on a scale of 1 (hear all external noise) to 10 (hear no external noise).

I wear them when riding my mower and when using the leaf blower. Some noise comes through, but I can still hear my music fine. They are bulkier than noise canceling but comfortable. For the price they are worth trying for flight travel. Hope this helps.

You can hear fine. They are NOT noise canceling - you can definitely hear airplane noise. When off the plane they sound much better than the noise canceling ones. Hope that helps.

I don't think these reduce airplane noise per say but they are noise canceling headphones and works real well at home or when on road trips in the car, I haven't tried using them on a airplane yet but I think you should consider these headphones.

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.

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.

They are not noise canceling, but the isolation is fantastic. I have not had any problems with external noise while wearing these. The only disadvantage is they are a little large for carrying around.

They are pretty good at isolating outside noise because they are a complete over the ear design, and unless you have dumbo ears, they should fit over your ears to seal out most ambient noise. The sound in the headphones is exceptionally loud too, and the bass is pretty deep and thumpy (if there is such a word). I like them because it still allows me to hear stuff going on around me if for example, cars horns, or someone calling my name, etc. I have not tried them on an airplane per se, so in terms of drowning out engine noise, i cannot say, but in a car, the road noise is non existent.

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 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.

These are good at cancelling ambient noise such as you may experience in a train, bus or plane. People talking loudly close-by? Not so sure. The audio quality is up to scratch, I would definitely recommend them for music.

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.

Have not used them on a plane. They seem to cancel outside noise pretty well

I use these mainly when I fly. It blocks out the sounds of the flight attendants repeating the same message over and over on several flights a day! Have not used in an industrial environment.
