The ear buds are made to fit in your ear, as long as it's not loose there should be a moderate amount of noise suppression. I can comfortably use these on the subway without needing to turn the sound too high.

To a certain extent, the memory foam heads block more sound that the standard ear buds. It's almost like putting ear plugs in. I have found that these are really nice for lawn work, when working with a mower or something that is loud and has a continuous drone. I have used these on an airplane, and they are nice. However, they don't completely drown out the sound. Headphones like that would cost you at the cheapest probably $150. Something along the lines of Bose Noise Canceling HeadPhones should find you the right thing. Otherwise, I enjoy these headphones, and the memory foam blocks out more sound than your standard ear bud. To a certain extent, the memory foam heads block more sound that the standard ear buds.

If you want to block out noise, i'd suggest going for a set of larger-sized buds. But not, they don't really block out noise -- it makes things quieter, but doesn't really eliminate any surrounding sounds.

They are not noise canceling. However, safety is in the hands of the user when it comes to audio devices. Depending on the multiple variables of the user along with the desired volume any headphone or ear bud could easily block elemental noise.

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.

YES. This problem is the main reason I don't wear these earbuds anymore. They sit in a drawer...waste of money.

Funny, this question came while I was on an airplane watching a movie on my iPad using these headphones, which I've done many times now. It's important to understand that these headphones aren't like entering a sound-proof booth. What they do is cut the consistent noise around you (i.e. engine noise). You can still hear when an announcement comes, but to hear it clearly, you need to pause the movie or hit the handy Monitor button. As for the movie sound, it's reasonably good, and I've never had trouble making out dialogue when listening at a comfortable volume. It's not like sound in an 11.1 theater, but I'd say it's like watching a movie on your home TV when there's a rainstorm or windstorm outside. Bottom line, you'll find nothing close in quality for anywhere close in price. Hope that helps.

My husband wanted these to use on plane trips. When he uses them, he can hear clearly over the engine noises and I can't hear the book he is listening to.

I dont have a Kindle Fire however, Kicker says the app compatibility varies based on os. It will still sound great without app. There is still bass and treble adjustment availabe through the remote.

These earphones block actually NONE of the noise. DON'T use them on an airplane.

Airplanes use the standard 1/8" mini plug, which is what these headphones come with. They are not noise reducing (with white noise) but they cover your ears. Highly recommended

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.

Kindle, as in the e-reader? I think you might've posted to the wrong thread...the ETY-Plugs are hearing protection, not headphones.

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!

They block out noise well. I used them on a few flights, had a seat near the engines and it did not bother me at all, I could hear the movie from my iPad very well

If by noise bleeding you mean is the sound audible while you're wearing them from the outside, then no. And yes I believe it would block out sounds from an airplane. I wear them in my college library which sometimes can get extremely loud and I don't hear anything.

Not on my unit. The volume when turned up is very loud. My wife who is hard of hearing keeps it somewhere in the middle range which is loud for me so most of the time she uses ear buds which blocks out the normal speakers..

hmm, well I can tell you they block out noise very well, but I've never asked anyone if they can hear my music when the headphones are on. No one has ever told me that they are too loud or annoying. If you keep the volume level in the middle, then you will be fine, but if you blast it (prob not good for ears anyways), then I would think someone sitting next to you may be able to hear it. Hope that helps.
