Has anyone tried the noise cancelling on an airplane?

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...

I don't think that the fit of these type of ear buds would work as well as muffs etc

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.

Not too bad, but of course they're not really designed as noise-cancelling specifically. I wore them on a 14 hour flight from LA to Sydney and it certainly made a difference though.

Not actively, you will get a small amount of isolation but not cancellation. It only filter low end and high end noises. I have central heating. It it noisy but with these on it gets a little quieter and lot quieter when I turn on the cancellation. I actually find they do not work well on airplane (too much still gets through, I had to use earplugs just lightly put in for partial blockage in addition for them to block enough noise) but when I was riding buses they worked great.

Not particularly good on airplanes as they don't seal out ambient noise. Excellent in the house. I use sennheiser noise canceling units for plane travel.

Yes the noise cancellation does work even if you are not listening to anything. You do need to wear the heradphones and have the Bose device switched on.

I haven't tried it on a plane. But they are effective here in the office in blocking out the noise from people discussing their food choices of the day.

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.

Hi,Jeff! This IEM has a good noise cancellation but I really don't know if it could do this job for airline use. If you really care about the noise cancellation on airplane then Qc15 or Qc20 maybe a good choice. Anyway, this headphone will definitely meet the daily requirements for noise cancellation. I hope this could help.

I've tried this on a 14 hour trans-oceanic flight. Your ears might start to ache after 4 hours of wearing them, and you can still hear the jet engines. Yeah, they're not noise-cancelling. But hey, I still love them -- besides, we don't go on a trans-atlantic flight every day, now, do we? lol

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.

There not noise cancelling. However, the base is such that it renders noise cancelling irrelevant. And after all, that's all noise cancelling is- exaggerated base.

I've traveled on airplanes with these headphones many times, plugged into my iPod Touch (and most recently an iPhone). While not noise-cancelling, they really do muffle out a lot of the noise. Usually I'm listening to jazz or rock while traveling and the headphones sound great.

Yes, but they are specifically designed to work in an aircraft and work best at reducing the cabin "roar" frequencies. I could actually hear people talking, movie dialog, etc. all around me BETTER with the noise cancellation on in the cabin, at altitude. They are designed to let you hear your music or audio-book with greater clarity, not suppress all ambient noises. They would not, in my opinion, be a solution for noise cancellation outside of an area where aircraft ambient cabin noise is the primary issue.

Yes, you can turn those off as desired. On a plane I find it easier to understand someone with the noise cancel on.

Nope, it is not noise cancelling. For noise cancelling, you can look at bose. http://www.bose.com/controller?url=/shop_online/headphones/noise_cancelling_headphones/quietcomfort_15/index.jsp

It would probably help as would any headphones but noise cancelling works best with a steady noise/frequency such as an airplane engine and not different notes of a piano.
