Are these good for traveling? Can they be heard over the noise from an airplane? Do they cancel out noise?

Yes they are good for traveling. The back of the package says "Where to use" and shows a van, plane and house.

My 1 year old used these on a flight from Alaska to TX and she loved them. The sound quality is good and can be adjusted on the headset to a degree. I don't know if they cancel noise.

IMO they cancel noise decently. I use them at home, on my desktop pc, while the tv is on. My TV is about 5 feet away from my pc. I bought them more because they were for my son and halfway durable and has a decent range of size adjustments.

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.

Well, lets break this question down: 1. Yes, they are GREAT for travelling - by car, train, plane or boat. 2. If used on a plane, the removable KidzControl Volume Limit Cable should be removed - as limiting is too much and the child may not hear anything due to the background noise. This is exactly why Kidz Gear made the volume limit technology in the form of a cable. Other headphones with "built-in" volume limiting will not be satisfactory. 3. No, they are NOT noise-cancelling. Noise-cancelling is a very sophisticated technology and is only available at a much higher cost. We may be considered noise-mitigating due to the superior fit of the ear-cups and padding around the ear. We hope this answers some of you questions and was helpful. Thank you, Kidz Gear Customer Service

My daughter had a hard time hearing on the airplane. I adjusted the volume on her tablet to the max and that helped but they aren't loud because they are meant to protect children's ears.

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 :)

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

I travel a lot and I can honestly say I cannot imagine traveling without them! Even if I'm not listening to music I leave them on to drown out the people and the sound of the plane. Yes I will recommend them for travel and for music. For the Price they are a winner!

They do good on flights, even though they do not have noise cancellation, with music on and a good seal, they block out ambient noise well.

hi , those doesn't have a cancelation noise, but the cups on your ear are to encloseru than the outside noises is despicable. I use those ones on the bus, metro and walking outside , the outside noise is not mixed with the music, the sound is great and overall comfortable. (psd. I have not use those Bose on the airplane)

I had Pyle noise-canceling headphones before getting these Plane Quiet ones. The Pyle ones canceled out more general noise (but the headphones didn't last long at all). The Plane Quiet ones live by their name, so to speak -- they mostly just cancel out the airplane background whoosh, and just a little bit of general noise around you. They're good for airplanes but I don't think they would be good if you want to shut out general noisy environments.

Not particularly good on airplanes as they don't seal out ambient noise. Excellent in the house. I use sennheiser noise canceling units for plane travel.

I would not recommend these headphones for longer flights. They do in fact sound great and diminish external noise just by the way they fit. However, they are not Noise Canceling headphones and have no electronic technology that diminshes external noise like the low hum of an airplane's jets. Moreover, the strength of the metal headband and the firmness of the ear cups can cause discomfort on the ears if the headphones are worn for an extended period of time (1.5+ hours). I would recommend that you search for headphones that have high ratings for comfort as well as noise canceling abilities.

Hi Brenda, this headphones doesn't have the noise cancelling feature but can be used on an airplane but it will not totally cancel out the noise. - Ella

I have only used them when flying and they are very effective suppressing the noise and protecting my inner ears. They have dual type of usage for noise control...

Yes! They are perfect for travel, although I haven't tried the executives which are supposedly better, these are extremely good at blocking out sound.

They are pretty good at isolating outside noise because they are a complete over the ear design, and unless you have dumbo ears, they should fit over your ears to seal out most ambient noise. The sound in the headphones is exceptionally loud too, and the bass is pretty deep and thumpy (if there is such a word). I like them because it still allows me to hear stuff going on around me if for example, cars horns, or someone calling my name, etc. I have not tried them on an airplane per se, so in terms of drowning out engine noise, i cannot say, but in a car, the road noise is non existent.

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!

I use them on the plane and they do a pretty good job nothing can eliminate all noise but they do make it easier to read or hear your music or movie than not using them.

I used a pair like these, with passive noise cancellation, on a plane and they were actually pretty good. It will not stop the ear pressure due to altitude, but you wont hear a thing

Sorry alan fo the late reply. These are not noise cancelling headphones, but sound is much better than Bose. I would not recommend them for a plane, but just for hearing crisp sound with the right amount of bass and treble.

Not sure as I haven't tried it for that use. But I do put them in on an airplane to cut down on the engine noise and they work pretty well. The different earbud tips give you flexibility to get a snug fit which should also help relative to alternatives.
