are they ok for air travel? Will they be heard above the engine noise?

If they are anything like the spider man ones then no. I got my son panda bear ones that also have volume control on the cord. They are califone kids stereo and PC headphones. Also come in other animal options. I really like them. Hope this helped. Good luck

Should be no problem, and yes, they will (unless you are on a really old plane).

These headphones are amazing for the 15.00 I paid. They match the leather tablet cover we bought our 5 years old fro christmas. I have used them and they are great. Great quality sound and yes will be fine for airplane travel.

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.

On a flight no one will even hear the sound leakage. If you are in a quiet room, you can hear the sound leakage but there's now way anyone will hear it on a flight. Having tested this out myself, there's pretty much no way anyone around you is hearing it over the engine noise of the plane..

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.

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.

No absolutely not. I have to use additional hearing protection at the range. I can't imagine that these would be better on the tarmac.

It's been a long time since I've been on an airplane so I can't remember how loud they are. But I think that they would work fine for any flight.

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 have used these many times on airplanes. They block out a significant amount of the noise. I put on soft music at a very low volume and sleep soundly...or just turn on the noise cancellation circuitry and block out the constant whoosh of the aircraft flying through the air. I gave a pair to one of my sons who travels a lot and he now swears by them.

I have not used them that way, so I won't venture a guess. I certainly notice the sound cancellation effects around the house and in the office, but have not tested them against a jet engine!

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.

I used them in my van and I barely heard them with the windows down.I doubt you'll be able to listen on a motorcycle

I used them on my flight to Germany and they worked pretty good at noise reduction. After awhile your ears get a little warm because of the padding but other than that they worked great.

Yes! You can absolutely hear cars, horns etc when using these. The sound on the earphones is not so great for music but the trade-off for safety is well worth it.

They don't totally block jet noise but they certainly take the edge off it. They're far better than ordinary headphones / earphones - I'm quite happy with mine.

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.

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.
