I want earphone to use with my iphone and to cancel noise for best sleep on plane flights. What would you recommend?

These are not noise canceling headphones. They do sound great and are very comfortable.

This headphone is a small one, it can not cover all your ears. If you want to cancel the noise from the plane flights, this is not the one you are looking for.

I'm pretty sure you can plug it into the plane. I can plug this into my iphone, and I can use my iphone headphones on the plane so I'm pretty sure you can. They're comfortable, personally I don't like to use headphones for too long.

I've tried this on a 14 hour trans-oceanic flight. Your ears might start to ache after 4 hours of wearing them, and you can still hear the jet engines. Yeah, they're not noise-cancelling. But hey, I still love them -- besides, we don't go on a trans-atlantic flight every day, now, do we? lol

To a certain extent, yes. As an on-ear headphone it will never block out as much as an over-ear or some airtight ear buds. But I ride my bike through the streets of L.A.with them and get just enough noise filtering in to be aware of my surroundings but never enough to interrupt my enjoyment. Airplanes are a different animal. The phones are designed to be so light they don't have much mass to keep noise in. While you may block out the airplane noise, everyone in your area will know what you're listening to. While they are super comfortable and very light, they are not made to be quiet room headphones. These were designed very specifically for activities, not libraries and airplanes. So while you will be able to block out noise, you'll be sharing your music with people close by in quiet situations. Hope this helps.

On Ear phones is normally not a good choice to use on airplane. But Mikros 90 has a very good isolation. You better to audit first by yourselves.

It works great with iphones and androids. It doesn't come with a plane adaptor, but those are cheap anyway :) Oh, and I want to let you know before you buy that mine shorted out after 10 months :\ But a good pair of headphones nonetheless.

I have not used the Plane Quiet phones. The I home IB50B are excellent and really reduce the white noise on the plane, yet have a nice response to music. W/o comparing them side by side it would be difficult for me to compare the,. I suspect they are quite comparable And that either would perform well. I find the noise level on planes is fatiguing and the noise canceling phones really help.

There is no volume control, only on/off for noise cancellation. The ear buds seal up nicely in the ear making airplane noise drown out so you should be good even if you're hard of hearing

Sure, they are over-the-ear headphones. I've used them on a plane and found them fine. They won't beat a good pair of noise canceling headphones, but are decent.

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

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.

Never used them on a plane, but even though they are 'closed-back', they are not designed for noise cancellation. Nor will they completely prevent audio from being leaked to others around you at higher volumes. Although....one could humorously argue that the clarity of the high frequency range response may very well drown out high pitched engine noise. Honestly, for noise cancellation, you probably want any decent set of isolation headphones. These ones are solely designed for clarity and reference.Good Luck!

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.

These don't fit in everyone's ears the same way. For me they would not help on an airplane, since they don't rest snugly into my ears. (These are also not truly noise canceling, if that's what you're looking for.)

I have not compared, but I generally have not used any active headphones that are acceptable for general use (from a fidelity perspective). As I only want one pair, and flights are a small component for me, I would use these as they seal off ambient noise quite well. I have not used them on a plane yet, but am certain they will not isolate that noise very well. f you can afford two sets and wish to carry two on trips, get noise cancellation. If you want one set and fidelity is key, get a better single set.However, maybe there are great active sets out there that I have not tried.

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.

Very comfortable, but it is not effective in blocking out outside sounds. Also, on most planes you will need to get an airline adapter (with 2 jacks, one for each channel) to plug in the headphones.
