What is the difference between these and the Plane Quiet Active Noise Canceling Headphones?

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.

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.

Usually the noise cancelling headphones (including those) are mostly for low-frequency noise (like airplane or street noise, or computer fan, etc), so they don't protect from chatter much. In fact, in airplane it's easier to hear what people say in headphones than without them.

The sound isolation is pretty effective, I haven't used them on a plane but I have used them while playing drums and they cut out a lot of the extra noise.

The ones I have are in my opinion not noise-cancelling. They are just simple high quality headphones.

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!

They have noise isolation there is some difference between isolation and cancellation-see link-http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/44328/htg-explains-how-do-noise-reducing-headphones-work/

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.

nope, no active noice cancellation. the seal is decent so normally they are ok for just everyday noise. i personally wouldn't wear it on the plane cuz i would fall asleep with it on and it would hurt if did :S

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.

Sure, they are over-the-ear headphones. I've used them on a plane and found them fine. They won't beat a good pair of noise canceling headphones, but are decent.

For yourself, if you are on a train, they block out almost all of the external noise. For a plane, they greatly reduce but do not entirely eliminate background noise. But even noise cancelling headphones have limitations on airplanes, in my experience. For either a train or plane, they do block out all noise from your music for anyone sitting close by. So the person sitting next to you will probably not hear anything you are listening to, unless you really cranked it up.

No idea. I use Sennheiser PXC 450 noise reduction headphones on the airplane. And it works great.

There is no "active" noise cancelling on these phones. What i will say is that the ear cups are so large, they create a good seal around your ears that blocks out most external sound even at modest sound levels. These headphones have very large drives and sound best when using a separate headphone amp/or using a source that can drive these headphones properly. They sound anazing for the price and are nicely built!

No they do not have active noise cancelation. But they do a pretty good job of blocking noise anyways.

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 don't believe their is "active" noise cancelling. However those plugs are pretty snug in the ear and the sound is pretty loud enough to counteract any outside interference. I've never found noise cancelling effective on a plane anyway because I can still feel the hum of the engines anyway.
