Can I use these on an airplane to block out crying babies?

It will give you some isolation but not quite as good as some with active noise cancelling, but for the price hard to go wrong.

Sorry...I don't know. I bought them for an airplane ride because my grandson is noise sensitive. I was afraid the plane would be too loud for him. He didn't need them so I don't know if they have even been used! He is just 2.

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

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.)

Have not used them on a plane, but I think they would be very effective for filtering out environmental noise.

I can't think of a good reason why not if they're over about 5-6. I wouldn't think they'd be for under 5-6 minimum. They are graduated bell shaped "pellets" with a thin plastic strip/cord running from one to the other. They really do block out the noise. I always keep a pair in my purse for travel and I've used them for a number of years now for sleep. They're wonderful!

Yes, however it works only to cancel steady, repeating noise, like background airplane noise, not intermittent sudden noises, like baby crying.

Although I have not used these at the gym, I would guess that they would help to muffle the noise. I could not hear the air and white noise from the airplane. When the flight attendant came around, I had to remove the headphones to hear her.

No, these are really not for portable use. Inner ear headphones are your best bet for planes.

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 18 month old would have to have a pretty large head. These fit my 4 year old but look oversized (my wife and I can wear them too). The issue with these on a plane is the ambient noise is so loud, it can drown out the volume of these headphones since they are limited for child safety. I probably would not recommend them for a child that little due to size and I don't recommend them on a plane because the volume won't go loud enough to hear over the plane engines, etc.

They block out noise well. I used them on a few flights, had a seat near the engines and it did not bother me at all, I could hear the movie from my iPad very well

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.

Hello -- Jeff's answer is spot on. I'd add that we limit these to 100db (not the standard 85db) for this reason. It seemed that the white noise of the airplane would drown out the audio in the headphones at 85db, making them less useful on the airplane. But with any noise or sound, please be safe and check to make sure it's not too loud and it isn't listened to for too long. Please email us at support@lil-gadgets.com if you have any other questions. Thank you!

These are great at cancelling out noise - on planes. I would also worry about wrapping the cord around my neck in my sleep. Check your local noise ordinances, the police should be able to help quiet things down by 9 or 10 pm.

You can place them on your ears and they will block out the babies çrys to some extent..

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.
