how do they work on a plane? The ear pieces planes issue to watch movies or listen to music are awful

I have not tried these on a plane but have tried others. There is no reason they shouldn't; if the outlet is a different size you will need an adapter.

You might get them to work on a plane if you have an adapter. I have not tried to use them with any plane entertainment systems.

They are not noise canceling headphones. However with an open air design incorporated into these headphones along with the large cushioned ear cups. They offer a really comfortable fit with not much ear fatigue after several hours of listening. Most ambient noises like talking, the tv, being in the car or out on the street is completely eliminated by the design of the ear cups. I have not used them on a plane yet. But I would assume that the hum of a passenger airline engine would not be much of a factor in disturbing the sound quality eathier. Hope this helps in your decision.

I can't say that they're perfect. But whenever I use them on the airplane all I can hear is my music and barely anything else.

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

see if the headphones are messed up . they should work, trust me mine work perfectly fine. you should have it fixed or looked at by someone that works at a place like radio shack.

Hi, I hope you have better luck with these than I did. At first, they played great but then one ear stopped working and the other followed. It would be a few seconds of working then off again they would go. I know this doesn't help you much. I hope you get them working. Mine were returned to amazon within 30 days. Cheers!

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.

We have only used ours at home and in the car, but we have no complaints. We love them! I believe these would work great in an airplane. One can be watching TV and the other sitting right there with his headphones I haven't gotten one complaint.

Yes! I love them and use them all of the time. They are great and satisfy my needs. I've also found them to be great on an airplane. I can't say that you'll hear no noise, but you'll have no trouble hearing what you are listening to on the Fire.

They are terrible for airplane use. I suggest the cheapest noise cancelling headphones you can find for this purpose. My kids could barely hear using an iphone playing a movie on a plane.

Yes, you can listen to music, but in my Review I was referring Price vs. Sound Quality, also lets say your on a plane & you turn on your music, the headphones produce a noise so you'll only hear your music & not the plane's engine or a reduced level, to make your music the primary sound heard. if you don't want the noise cancelling feature off, click the button & you can listen in regular mode...

Have not tried on a plane, but have tried for noise-cancelling at home. Work at home writing and wanted earbuds to decrease traffic, lawnmower, construction and screaming baby noise. They don't work. They're ordinary low-priced earbuds, not true noise-cancelling devices. Went back to my Klipsch that I bought a few years ago. Oh well...

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.

I suppose it depends on what types of noise you are trying to not hear.. I wear them to bed and I don't hear anything but the audio book I am listening to.. I took them on my recent flight and I didn't hear the hum of the plane while in flight.. so I personally find they are pretty good at blocking out outside noises.. But I don't use them for any high end work or need to use them for any such, I am purely a casual user (over age 35), I don't have to turn the volume way up to reduce outside noise either. I hope this helped!

My daughter had a hard time hearing on the airplane. I adjusted the volume on her tablet to the max and that helped but they aren't loud because they are meant to protect children's ears.

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.

I use mine while traveling often without any music on. Turn on noise canceling and select a mode to eliminate aircraft noise or motel air conditioning noise without having to listen to music.
