Hi Nancy, Thanks for your interest in our headphones! As Vicki says below, our 3.5mm cable that comes with each headphone for wired backup use will work on the traditional female to male jacks and not on the ones with the two holes as is on your plane. Buying an adapter is your best bet and you are clearly prepared! Please do reach out to us should you have any questions/concerns/issues in the future. Thank you very much for your purchase and support of our small business. I wish you and your family safe travels! Jacquie co-founder, LilGadgets

I can't say for sure, but my husband says that he thinks you could use these on a plane. We have been on planes that have two types of connections. These headphones would definitely work on the kind that you just have the one male connection plugging into the female. Other planes have a different sort of connection and these would not work. You would need to find out what kind of plane you'll be on, and Google what type of equipment is on that plane. www.seatguru.com might give you that info...not sure.

I don't know the answer to this question but I would definitely suggest that you contact the company to ask. They have fabulous customer service!!

Yes, you can connect to the airline entertainment system. But to hear better, you'd probably also need some headphones that are bigger and completely surround your ears. Actually, maybe you should try getting some headphones first.

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.

You would need an adapter. The camera has the normal/standardize microphone port (aka line in) found in common consumer electronic devices like the iPhone, laptop, mp3 player. However, most aircraft head set use a different and larger "line in/out" port.

Idk, haven't had the chance to try them on an airplane. I bought them primarily for an iPad & they work great for that purpose.

Yes. You can use them on any MP3 player with a regular headphone jack. The controls on the cord may not work with it but the headphones will work. They do make this same headphone without the 'I' for MP3 players. As far as the airplane... It would depend whether or not you needed and adapter. If it takes a regular 3.5mm jack it will work fine.

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.

Yea they will work with an adapter but it will cost you 10 - 15 bucks. I find the adapter along with the thick cabling to be very cumbersome with an iPod. These headphones were designed with home use in mind. They'll work with an iPod but you may not enjoy the experience.

It comes with a standard 3.5mm computer jack. You will need an adapter if you wish to use it in a standard 1/4" aviation audio input (if you're a pilot, or just listening to the comms radio.) However, these are not pilot headphone - so if that's your aim, do not get these.If you're just a passenger on a commercial plane, this headset will be just fine. All passengers should have standard 3.5mm audio jacks near their seat for entertainment.

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.

Yes, but some (older) airline seats have the "double" female plugs which require an adapter -- my Panasonic & Bose headphones come with adaptors, but not this Beats, and it's not listed in the "What's in The Box" table. Also, some European aircraft seats (Business & First Class on A380's) have headphones, and I have not been able to remove them to use my own headphone.

Yes, I got them for my wife for travel. She loves them good sound and very comfortable on a long flight.

The headphones come with a two prong adapter. Planes have two styles depending on the year it was built; the more modern single prong connector which has two area's of contact on a single prong or the two prong connector that channels sound to the right and left ear. This headphone set will work with both given the adapter. I used these on a flight to and from the Philippines (22 hour flight time one way) without needing to replace the batteries and I used them nearly constantly during both flights. So, from one set of batteries I got greater than 40 hours of use and they were still going strong. The headphones come with a two prong adapter.

Rather than use these, why not get an adapter designed for thus purpose. If you enter "airlines headphone adapter" in the Amazon search field, you will be directed to several that wreckers under $5.00. I have used the Bose® headphones airline adapter for years, and it works great.

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.

Being a non-flyer I can't answer that part of the question. They work great for listening to movies on my computer, either DVD or streaming.

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!
