would you recommend these over noise canceling for taking a toddler on a flight?

Yes I would definitely they have worked for me so far, on car trips, airplane trips but I would say that maybe everybody's choices or opinions are different.

I dont see why you couldnt. They have a long enough cord, volume control, and are very comfrtable to wear. I even use them. I love these headphones! I definitely recommend.

I have these for my almost 3 year old daughter. I purchased them for the purpose of watching movies in the car. However I had my 11 year old try them on and she said that due to the padding around the ears they do block out some noise while listening to music or media. I'm not comfortable saying they are noise canceling. I will say they are fantastic headphones for toddlers.

I don't think they would cancel out all the noise, but I do think your child should be able to hear whatever is being played over the noise of the plane. The pads cup the ears pretty well.

If you aren't listening to a media (cd, movie), you will still be able to hear some sound with these headphones on. If you want total silence, I would get noise cancelling. Our daughter never really had a problem with the airplane noise, in fact, it made her naps on the plane longer! :-) good luck!

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.

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.

Unfortunately I think it depends on the airline - some still use an odd two prong type of jack. And while these are good headphones for the price, they really are somewhat bass heavy and I don't think they would be ideal for a plane. If you are flying a lot, you seriously may want to consider decent noise cancellation headphones. Using headphones on planes really isn't ideal anyway because people wind up cranking the volume too much and it can damage your hearing. Decent noise cancellation headphones cut out some of the loud droning noise that you hear constantly while in a plane or pretty much any kind of vehicle.

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.

They are not on a Bose level for noise cancellation. I wouldn't buy them to to cancel out traveling noise. For home use, I find them more than adequate. If my kid is YELLING, then OK, I can hear him. My wife, however, usually has to throw something at me if she's trying to get my attention. For home use, I like these a lot.

Noise cancelling headphones are much better at reducing steady noises than intermittent sounds like crashes. They will reduce crashes some but not dramatically.

They are rather big and bulky to bring on a plane. They don't "cancel" the backround noise and they only muffle the backround noise I get in my den. The planes engines, I doubt it. However, for listening at home, they can't be beat!

Not at all. I've had that problem with other headphones. These work perfectly. We just used them in May 2014 on an airplane, and my daughter could hear without any issue.

Well, they definitely aren't noise cancelling, but in my experience they cancel out enough to make a difference, and would do great on a plane.

I use them on the plane and they do a pretty good job nothing can eliminate all noise but they do make it easier to read or hear your music or movie than not using them.
2109071
yes they are comfortable for kids...they will forget they have it on.not sure if it block out noise but the volume is adjustable and it can go pretty loud.
1078062
Our daughter (almost 4 years old) uses them almost exclusively on airplanes. We have never had a problem with volume, but they are intentionally volume limited for young ears.

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.

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

I strongly advise against the use of these for the purpose you suggested, if your flight is medium to long haul. Like all noise protection devices, these are heavily sprung for the reason of better noise dampening. The pressure on ear would be painful with increased time (&gt;2 hours) . Full rounded cups would be more comfortable (like pilots wear, racing pit crew, airport staff, etc..). Perhaps occupational types are better suited for your needs.
