Do they block jet sound when I'm watching movie on my laptop, on a plane?

Yes...not as well as ones that cost five times the price. Flying Coach will still be annoying; not much can fix that.

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.

I recently flew to Europe last week, own a pair of those & a Sony MDR7506. I was comparing them; that JVC amazed me. It blocked 90%+ of cabin noises', jet sound included. It's not something that you will feel immediately, it's kind of progressive, then nothing. Feels comfortable& the sound quality is awesome.

For my Macbook air, it does not cut off the sound. It pretty much is purely decorative for my devices.

You will hear muffled talk and other noises. What these are more known for are cutting out that decibel sound that a plane engine makes. I wore these in the house to cut the noise of a noisy air conditioner and I still heard it, which depressed me.

No idea. I use Sennheiser PXC 450 noise reduction headphones on the airplane. And it works great.

On airplanes I have found that I need to remove the volume limiter. It is a deeper are piece that the headphones plug into before plugging it into the device you are using. I hope that helps :)

These don't have the active noise cancelling but they fit snug and block out the sound. I used them on the plane they worked great. At the gym I don't hear anything but my music.

No Noise cancellation and they are insufficient to keep out the noise while watching a movie on the plane. The headphones were great except for that, so I returned them. I tried the Sennheisers But they were very poor noise cancelling and the V-Moda which were excellent except they were "noise-lowering" or some such thing and kept no noise out. After buying and returning all of these, I went back to my Bose Quiet Comfort 15's which were still the best of the bunch. I will wait for the next gen which will be noise cancelling AND bluetooth.

If you hear them, it will be muffled. I usually can't tell what the pilot on a plane is saying, but I know he's talking. Of course it will depend on how loud you're playing your music.

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.

No. These headphones do not have noise cancelling features and will not make your flight any quieter. What these headphones bring to the table is superb quality in a very light package.

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!

Yes, but they are specifically designed to work in an aircraft and work best at reducing the cabin "roar" frequencies. I could actually hear people talking, movie dialog, etc. all around me BETTER with the noise cancellation on in the cabin, at altitude. They are designed to let you hear your music or audio-book with greater clarity, not suppress all ambient noises. They would not, in my opinion, be a solution for noise cancellation outside of an area where aircraft ambient cabin noise is the primary issue.

I'm not sure there is any way to effectively block out airplane engine noise as those engines vibrate everything and those vibrations are felt as much as heard. But I can tell you for certain that it's really effective at blocking out my 5 year old son's video gaming and my wife's requests for me to paint things or pick heavy things up to move them a few inches to the left... then to the right... then put them back down where they were to begin with.

You do not need an audio input to use the noise canceling feature. When I am sitting at my computer, and don't have any audio going to the headphones they will nearly cancel all the noise of my computer fan. There is a touch of hiss, but it is significantly less than the noise the fan makes.

It doesn't appear to, but I have used it on planes. I can't get either of my preschoolers to deal with headphones in any event. The sound has two settings and even the higher one is quiet enough that it is barely audible a seat away. Most fellow passengers are glad enough that my kids are not screaming, like the ones five rows up, that I've never had comments.

Absolutely. There is a cut out specifically for the speaker so sound is not blocked at all. Hope this helps!

Since these are in ear headphones they do block external sounds but if you are looking for active noise cancellation, then the answer is no. Hope this helps.
