How well do mutt muffs work in small planes?

I suspect better than having nothing on.. However I had to ship mine back. I have German Shepherds and they did not work for me.. Trying to keep their ears folded down in to the Muffs became a task. Be sure they are very snug.

No idea but our dogs wear them while at my husband's joinery workshop - the machinery is very loud so must equal (at least) the drone of a small plane!

I own a Cessna 182 and my 78lb Rhodesian Ridgeback keeps them on. Instead of panting and anxious without them, he did fall asleep about 30 minutes into the flight. It may have helped that my wife was in the back seat with him the 2 trips he was on while wearing them.

too small for me to wear, so I can't say for sure, but my dog wears them and seems comfortable in the back seat of the Cessna

I want to say yes since I have different sets of the Comptac II and Comptac III. I think most of the 3m Peltors have the same size ear muffs, but double check their site before you buy.

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

It is difficult to give a definitive answer to that question because how loud, how close etc. would all effect the sound you would hear with the ear muff on. I use them for target shooting and they are the best I have been able to find. Of course I can hear my firearm and other firearms when they are shooting but when someone is talking to me I can not completely understand what they are saying unless I remove the muffs.

We never used them with firearms, but they helped quite a bit at indoor rock concerts! However, depending on the shape of your dog's head and ears, you may not be able to adjust the straps properly to hold them in place without being uncomfortably tight. When I take my toy poodle service dog to a concert, she sits in a carrier on my lap, so it is easy for me to hold the Mutt Muffs in place. If she were on the floor and I was occupied with shooting at a range, I suspect she would shake or paw them off - depends on how tolerant your dog is to things being placed on his/her head.

depends on the muff, if they have a deep pocket yes. If they are the flat ones no.

I bought these for my granddaughter, but I have personally used the headset several times with all sorts of background noise present. Although I have not used them on a plane yet, I have never had any problem hearing the soundtrack over other background noise. They are quite well made and you get good quality sound. They have also taken a lot of abuse in the car without breaking. Make sure the volume is not too loud before putting them on a small child.

I suspect they probably would as they reduce low frequency engine noise and wind roar on aircraft ... but I'm not sure it's a good idea from a safety perspective reducing hearing effectiveness when you need all your senses on a motorcycle.

no it doesn't block all the noise from a gun but it does a good job of muffling it. The sound from the gun through this earmuff is nowhere near as loud as it is without it. If someone is yelling at you from 2-3 feet away you cant hear them either.

I've turned off the power to the Ear Muffs and you can't hear much. I guess they are about the same as a non-powered ear muff. But with the power on and set, they work great. you hear everyone around you, but when there is a gun bang, it shuts most of it out. I don't know how they do it, but it works great!

I use banded low profile ear pro , it works have not used large muffs ( like air line ramp guys) the style I use is on a band with plug that fits in ear this option for me is better as the pro is always around my neck when not in use give this option a try you will find you will use pro more ? Hope this helps

They are very effective at removing steady background sounds, for example from aircraft engines as heard by passengers, or the air handlers and machinery noise in an office environment. They will muffle sudden sounds, but I do not think they would help much with the shock waves from gun shots since they are so fast and unpredictable.

You can wear the earmuffs. You put on the faceshield, lift the shield, adjust ear muffs and then lower shield. It seems to work for me.

Sorry, I have a 6-pound toy poodle - but I think the order page has a sizing guide. If you do order them, we have found they seal better if you lift the dogs ears up and place the Mutt Muffs directly around their ear opening. Also, don't try to put them on until the loud noise starts - that way, the dog realizes that they were uncomfortable for a short time and the Mutt Muffs helped make them more comfortable.

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

It works well. There are other forms of ear protection that muffle it a bit more, bit with that the trade off is, you can't hear people talk as well. The Sports do very well at cutting out the initial crack of the gun fire. At least....I think they do. The benefits such as low profile ear muffs, great amplification for talking and good battery life really add to the overall value of the muffs. At our range..most RAnge Officers wear the Howard Leighton Sports. If that helps...!

I have used them on planes before. They work well especially if you are near the rear of the plane. I usually wait for my ears to adjust to cruising altitude before putting them in.
