Are these worth it for plane rides? I'm worried about the kids not being able to hear well with plane noise...

Def fine for a plane. My son said they were great and that was the primary purpose for them. Never a complaint
1021004
Yes they are great and kids cannot use iPad or phone etc without themWe love these
1021005
We used them with the iPad for our toddler on the plane and they worked great. I tried them on and could hear everything fine.
1021006
I think they would be fine. My boys had no problems with theirs and I tried them out too.

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.

No they can't. I confirmed it on an airplane today, asking the woman next to me if it was bothering her, and she said she couldn't hear anything. They are the best I have owned and a bargain.

Well, lets break this question down: 1. Yes, they are GREAT for travelling - by car, train, plane or boat. 2. If used on a plane, the removable KidzControl Volume Limit Cable should be removed - as limiting is too much and the child may not hear anything due to the background noise. This is exactly why Kidz Gear made the volume limit technology in the form of a cable. Other headphones with "built-in" volume limiting will not be satisfactory. 3. No, they are NOT noise-cancelling. Noise-cancelling is a very sophisticated technology and is only available at a much higher cost. We may be considered noise-mitigating due to the superior fit of the ear-cups and padding around the ear. We hope this answers some of you questions and was helpful. Thank you, Kidz Gear Customer Service

I'm going to say no. I find it will muffle the sounds but you won't get a total silence with these. This set is meant to work more on a plane to drown out that whiny decibel annoying sound. And even on a plane you can hear people talking, but again it's muffled.

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. I would not recommend these headphones for longer flights.

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!

I have used them on planes before. They work well especially if you are near the rear of the plane. I usually wait for my ears to adjust to cruising altitude before putting them in.

Not at all. I've had that problem with other headphones. These work perfectly. We just used them in May 2014 on an airplane, and my daughter could hear without any issue.

I wore them on airplane sitting next to jets, and let me tell you, it was PHENOMENAL. I barely heard the roar, and it was very comfortable listening to music on LOW volume....So i would say they're noise-canceling.
807373
They would! If I'm listening to music in the 20i, I know I can hear nothing else.On the other hand if someone yelled for help, you probably won't hear them either. I figure the airplane is okay to use them. The sound is terrific.

Our daughter (almost 4 years old) uses them almost exclusively on airplanes. We have never had a problem with volume, but they are intentionally volume limited for young ears.

I strongly advise against the use of these for the purpose you suggested, if your flight is medium to long haul. Like all noise protection devices, these are heavily sprung for the reason of better noise dampening. The pressure on ear would be painful with increased time (>2 hours) . Full rounded cups would be more comfortable (like pilots wear, racing pit crew, airport staff, etc..). Perhaps occupational types are better suited for your needs.

That would be fine. They are elastic - not springs, so it makes very little noise if any at all. Any noise from ours is coming from the kids!

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...

These would certainly help, especially for more distant noises. While I used them on a 9 hour plane flight, I could hear certain sounds. All in all a good value for your money.

No problem, and yes they will come in handy for that long flight. I hope that they are small enough for her...my son loves them. As I stated before, they are a bit bulky and stick out a couple of inches from his head but he thinks that they are comfortable enough. Good luck!

They are rather big and bulky to bring on a plane. They don't "cancel" the backround noise and they only muffle thebackround noise I get in my den. The planes engines, I doubt it. However, for listening at home, they can't be beat!
