How do these compare to the 200II i? Specifically in terms of noise isolation? I am wondering how much better the 200s would work on a plane?

i can not give you the best answer here because i have not used the px 200 ii i but looking at a picture and the technical specs, the look like a closed ear design as opposed to my px 100 ii i which are open air design. I think the px 200 ii i might not sound as good at the higher frequencies or may sound muffled compared to the px 200 ii i, and looking at the frequency ranges of the two headphones, px 100 ii i looks like it can reach higher frequencies than the px 200 ii i. The closed design of the px 200 ii i should provide better noise isolation though

They're great and would work anywhere. You get what you pay for and with these you get your money's worth. I use them when I drive and my vehicle is noisey. I plug them into my phone and they work great and it's hands free talking. Buy them.

The 100i is open air, and are ok on a plane. The 200i have a slight noise isolation, but not as bassy as the 100i The 200i have better highs. With that said, that depends on your taste. For comfort, I like the 100i better. For noise isolation, I would go with the Klipsch Image One-Gen 2. I'm planning on getting them.

I found noise isolation to be very good, but somewhat dependent on the volume you are listening at. I took these on an airplane shortly after purchasing them and found that they were just as effective as noise isolating ear-buds and cheaper noise cancelling headphones I had used before. The overall quality of sound however, was better. For me, the bottom line is that you can still maintain awareness of what's going on around you if you want...but you can also use these to enter your own little world and not be disturbed.

I have both and I used the new 20i last week in the plane. In my opinion QC 15 is better in noise cancelling but I like the 20i to carry around.I used 20i in the bus and in the car with IPHONE listing music and I like it. Quality QC 15 is better in the plane but to carry around I like 20i

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.

Yes there is; it is reduced but the isolation is no way as good as say the BeyerDynamic DT 1350 (say 60-70% of it, subjectively) - DT is like a gold standard. If you are in a faintly noisy environment, it probably is fine. It may even be ok in an aircraft with general noise around you, but in a dead quiet place (or room), the sounds emanating will be heard.

Sound is top, micro OK (I imagine difficult to use on bike anyway). Good sound isolation (I use in airplanes mainly). Strong cables. Wearing for many hours might get uncomfortable (something like the Bose headset might be better); depends on ear and which of the plastic tips were chosen.

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

They are not noise cancelling, so if you are looking to eliminate plane background noise, these probably won't do it for you.On the other hand, if you want a portable (fold up set) that you can use to wear that are comfortable, and mask outside noise with your music, these are pretty good headphones.

No Noise cancellation and they are insufficient to keep out the noise while watching a movie on the plane. The headphones were great except for that, so I returned them. I tried the Sennheisers But they were very poor noise cancelling and the V-Moda which were excellent except they were "noise-lowering" or some such thing and kept no noise out. After buying and returning all of these, I went back to my Bose Quiet Comfort 15's which were still the best of the bunch. I will wait for the next gen which will be noise cancelling AND bluetooth.

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.

I haven't used and Plane quiet noise canceling, so I couldn't say if there's a difference. I like my iHome ones fine.

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.

Yes the noise cancellation is really good. I travel a ton so I have used it on every size plane. It's not as good as the Bose Quiet Comfort, but it is pretty damn close.

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.

These are not *ACTIVE* noise cancelling headphones, but they do a pretty good job of blocking out ambient noise as long as you don't rest your head against the wall of the plane (window seat). [In that case the direct physical sound conduction is noticeable]. I use them on airplanes and I can run my audio volume at half and listen quite comfortably. By comparison, my ear buds require nearly full-blast volume on a plane and the audio still isn't clear.

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!

I was impressed when I used them on a plane. I can't compare to active nose cancelation headphones, but it blocked a lot more noise than I had expected.
