can this isolate the ambient sound when you are in the airplane

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.

Definitely. The dt770 are the best isolating headphones I've owned. Now be aware the 250ohm model will need an amplifier. If you don't want to use an amp get the 32ohm version Or 80ohm version. The lower the ohm the less need for an amp.

not likely. Some work to reduce or block certain types of noise. Such as airplane engine noise, but not loud music.

Yes. I use the Audio Technica for flying because it eliminates the droning of the engine and reduces the level of passenger conversation by a little bit (I'd guess around 25%). When I'm flying, I don't want to completely eliminate all sound - I want to be able to hear announcements, beverage service, etc... However, at work, my cube is in the middle of a noisy call center. To block most of the noise, I purchased the 3M Peltor X-Series Over-the-Head Earmuffs from Amazon. They are inexpensive (under $30) and they work. The headphones are bulky - they are similar to what you'd see someone wearing on a gun range or directing planes on an airport tarmac. But it's the bulk that enables them to work so well - the headphones provide a thick layer of noise-dampening material over your ears. The headphones all but eliminate normal-volume levels in the work place (you may hear a faint murmuring). Loud noises like laughing and sneezing can be heard, but the sound is very muffled. If you placed inexpensive foam earplugs in your ears and then wore these headphones over your ears, you'd probably be in complete silence.

I never tried. But it's a decibel measuring device, so it should measure for any noise. I don't think it can isolate specific sounds, though.

Noise cancelling, which actively cancels out incoming sounds, is not found on this headset. Noise isolating, which passively blocks incoming sounds, is what this set of headphone does, and it does a descent job. You can still hear external sound, but it's muffled. I used these on a plane recently and they worked just fine. I would give these a 7 or 8 on a scale of 1 (hear all external noise) to 10 (hear no external noise).

I'm going to say no. I find it will muffle the sounds but you won't get a total silence with these. This set is meant to work more on a plane to drown out that whiny decibel annoying sound. And even on a plane you can hear people talking, but again it's muffled.

I don't think so. It will block the drone of an airplane but you do hear conversations (ie flight attendant asking if you want coffee etc.)

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.

I believe there were two settings low and high. I would not recommend it on a plane. I suggest something you can mute instead.

Absolutely. The Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) on these headphones is fantastic. I have used these on an airplane myself during several flights back and forth between the U. S. and Afghanistan. The Parrot Zik does an excellent job mitigating the ambient aircraft noise.

I have used these on many flights now, and although they do not fully cancel out the noise of the aircraft, they do eliminate a lot of it. when watching a movie or listening to music, I don't even notice the engine noise.

There is no active noise cancellation, but because of how well it isolates, there is almost no ambient noise

Probably not. The noise cancellation works best for higher frequency continuous sounds like an airplane engine.

Yes, but as I did, you may have to change to the directional mode if you are using the multi-directional setting. It cuts out all the background noise.

You will still be able to hear people around you speaking, although again it will be muffled. You might do better with a pair of music earpieces/headphones designed to cancel ambient noise.

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.

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!
