how well do they do with the noise canceling on an airplane?

Not too bad, but of course they're not really designed as noise-cancelling specifically. I wore them on a 14 hour flight from LA to Sydney and it certainly made a difference though.

Don't know, I've never used them on plane. But I like them in cafés if that helps.

I suppose it depends on what types of noise you are trying to not hear.. I wear them to bed and I don't hear anything but the audio book I am listening to.. I took them on my recent flight and I didn't hear the hum of the plane while in flight.. so I personally find they are pretty good at blocking out outside noises.. But I don't use them for any high end work or need to use them for any such, I am purely a casual user (over age 35), I don't have to turn the volume way up to reduce outside noise either. I hope this helped!

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 haven't used them in an airplane.. but in the car and other noisy places they work great. They do not electronically cancel noise. But they do naturally cancel a lot of noise. I have worn them a collage without anything playing just because they cut out so much noise. Bass is great, clarity is perfect. I would recommend these over any other pair

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.

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.

They're not the actual noise canceling-type headphones which are more expensive, but I can use them on a plane and block out the noise and it does dull any outside noises A LOT so they should work just fine. Case in point: I play music to go to sleep with these headphones, and I slept through a burglar alarm going off in the apartment I was staying in (the cat set it off). I blame the headphones. Whoops...

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.

I don't know the exact percentage of ambient noise reduction. But based on my experience, I can tell you that on various airplanes, using these noise-cancelling headphones, the reduction is significantly less noisy. It doesn't completely disappear but is much more tolerable. Further, the music I listen to is much more pleasant, and I don't have to turn the music up nearly as loud. If I were to guess, subjectively, I would estimate a reduction of at least 75 % or more.

It does a pretty good job at noise canceling without any music or sound. I'm not sure how it compares to others though... I would say yes.

I did use it on airplane and noise isolation was acceptable. It is not the same as active noise cancellation but if you keep volume high enough and use right tips, you should be able to achieve decent isolation

The sound isolation is pretty effective, I haven't used them on a plane but I have used them while playing drums and they cut out a lot of the extra noise.

They are decent at noise isolation. I can tell that people are talking in my office around me with them on when listening to very quiet music. I can hear my keyboard keystrokes. I think I get about 15, maybe 20 db of noise reduction with the medium tips. You'll probably be able to tell you are on a plane, but will still be able to enjoy music without blasting it. I did not care for the included foam tips. I bought these to replace a set of Etymotic ER4Ps, which block 25-35 dB of noise. They are amazing in that regard.

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.

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...

I bought these in April and have flown from Houston to New York and back twice with them. They cancel the noise very well. Last night, I slept on the plane with them in my ears but no music on and even that cut down the noise. The cables don't get in the way of sunglasses. Zero problems with prolific use.

Yes.. Cos I did use them on the plane and they did mask out probably 90% of the noises made by human beings too
