Recommended for watching DVDs on laptop during long flight (with no wifi)? Also, other recommendations for safe earphones/headphones for same purpose?

Yes I use mine on my computer all the time. I know many people that use it for their laptops. It is mono stereo which means it is mixed audio in both ears.

Sorry for delay. Been recovering from surgery. I use my headphones with portable DVD player, not TV. But for everyone else in the room, total silence

I have this headphones in my car. To watch movies on roof screen, very good quality, whatever is playing you can hear, I consider better than infrared because when you are watching tv anybody that pass in front of you the sound will stop for a second, with radio frequency that does not happen, however you coul have interference when driving.

You can use these headphones with or without WiFi. As long as you have a headphone jack and/or bluetooth you can use these headphones.

Well beside the fact that this could be a safety risk i would recommend Nuforce NE-700m Titanium. The cord is a good 3 feet or so. Take note that they cancel sound fairly well. There is a cheaper model (about $10 less) but since you are going to be riding the more expensive one have a button controller so you dont have to mess with your phone/media player.

Anne, this is a stand-alone TV/DVD/CD player. You can watch whatever you wish on battery power or plugged in. The only problem I had was low volume. If you use a headset, you'll be happy. I bought a little, separate plug-in IHome speaker and now everything is fine! You can flip the screen back and put it on your lap just like an IPad and the 9" screen is very sharp and everything works well. The included "rabbit ear" antenna is fine if you are in range of digital transmitting stations. JimE

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.

My experience is the same as Jacky's. I don't use mine with a laptop so can't comment on that. My headphones work fine without anything related to the speakers as I plug them into a USB port on my CPU.

This may not answer your question but I bought the boostaroo so I could hear movies on my tablet when I was flying which I couldn't with just earbuds. It works great but I also stopped using earbuds and got a cheap pair of headphones ($12.99) that helped cancel out the outside/engine noise. So it definitely boosts the sound quite a bit and better earphones will help even more.

I really like my headphones, but honestly believe that a good set of earplugs would work better. They will work without music playing. I sometimes do this on a plane. They do an excellent job of blanking out the engine drone but I can still hear people talking (albeit at a much reduced volume)

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...

You do need to use headphones. That is the only way our DVD player has been used. Have never tried any kind of speaker system so can't really respond regarding that way of listening.

I agree with Karin. What I did for the noise Is I either put my headphones in with my iPod or I will out a movie on my kindle fire with my Netflix and use my headphones. Then i can't hear the machine. :-)

Hi Andrew, I am new at these gadgets. How do you transfer DVDs on Vision W or Archos 604? My interest is simply to watch DVDs and listen to music on long flights; I do not need any recordings. Also, can I use Bose quiet comfort headset with these systems? Will greatly appreciate your response. Thanks. Dinesh.

These are great but I would not recommend them for use on a plane because sound will leak in and out. So you will hear both the noise of the plane and your neighbors will be able to hear what you are listening to. Instead I would recommend in-ear buds, noise canceling headphones, or closed back headphones.

There is good sound quality without headphones. My grandchildren had no problem hearing their movie on a recent trip.
