How well do they work on airplanes? My (very) old Koss headphones were simply too quiet when I tried using them on a flight.

I wouldn't say they are TOO quiet, but they are not the loudest either. But in their defense, I have been told to turn them down @home/library. They are comfortable. My only complaint is I wish they had an inline volume control. I have to resort to my device for that... Good Luck!

The comfort level is too good for any place. But when you play music, assuming you would like to hear well and reduce the sound from surroundings, people beside you would also hear the music. Simple put, on full volume, they can be used as speakers in a silent room. Nevertheless the comfort is great.

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.

Sorry, I have never used it on an airplane, therefore I can not answer the question.

These are very loud that you will have no problem hearing them. I would buy them and give them a shot.

Yes! I love them and use them all of the time. They are great and satisfy my needs. I've also found them to be great on an airplane. I can't say that you'll hear no noise, but you'll have no trouble hearing what you are listening to on the Fire.

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.

Sorry alan fo the late reply. These are not noise cancelling headphones, but sound is much better than Bose. I would not recommend them for a plane, but just for hearing crisp sound with the right amount of bass and treble.

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.

I wore them on airplane sitting next to jets, and let me tell you, it was PHENOMENAL. I barely heard the roar, and it was very comfortable listening to music on LOW volume....So i would say they're noise-canceling.

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.

They would! If I'm listening to music in the 20i, I know I can hear nothing else.On the other hand if someone yelled for help, you probably won't hear them either. I figure the airplane is okay to use them. The sound is terrific.

Hi,Jeff! This IEM has a good noise cancellation but I really don't know if it could do this job for airline use. If you really care about the noise cancellation on airplane then Qc15 or Qc20 maybe a good choice. Anyway, this headphone will definitely meet the daily requirements for noise cancellation. I hope this could help.

They are not noise canceling headphones. However with an open air design incorporated into these headphones along with the large cushioned ear cups. They offer a really comfortable fit with not much ear fatigue after several hours of listening. Most ambient noises like talking, the tv, being in the car or out on the street is completely eliminated by the design of the ear cups. I have not used them on a plane yet. But I would assume that the hum of a passenger airline engine would not be much of a factor in disturbing the sound quality eathier. Hope this helps in your decision.

They seem to have very good sound isolation. I like to jack the volume up pretty high for action movies when I'm traveling and I've had no problems with the sound bleeding out. FYI great headphone, had them for over a year and they are amazing.

Well for airplane use, the audio bleeds out, i have used them, but i would not recommend them for this sole use, if you want good headphones then get them, just do not turn up the audio to a level that bothers people. Also they work fine with movies, but in my official review I do recommend you use an audio amplifier to get what you paid for out of these headphones.

For yourself, if you are on a train, they block out almost all of the external noise. For a plane, they greatly reduce but do not entirely eliminate background noise. But even noise cancelling headphones have limitations on airplanes, in my experience. For either a train or plane, they do block out all noise from your music for anyone sitting close by. So the person sitting next to you will probably not hear anything you are listening to, unless you really cranked it up.

I have never tried them in this application. They will do well with airliner noise unless you are sitting right near the engines. Then you need heavy duty noise cancelation and suggest Sennheisers.

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.

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've used these on a ten hour flight and they were really good ( but I was in front of the wings, however close to three babies) Sorry I can't compare to active noise cancelling headphones.
