Looking to give these to my kids on a plane, will these reduce the noise from the plane but enable them to listen?

Yes they help but not as much as you are led to believe. The battery power makes no difference at all. r

They dampen noise, but are not silencers. I can wear these on airplanes and hear people talking just fine, but the overall noise level is seriously reduced. It assists one to ignore the noise more easily. Depending upon your ability to ignore soft noises, these may or may not work for you.

Yes they will work just fine for that purpose. They wear these on flight lines also. They let you talk and then when a loud noise happens the suppression are automatic then back to normal just as fast. I sold these to industries that had a multitude of loud sounds and they worked fine. Buy with satisfaction.

Hi Mark, We haven't used them in the setting of a plane but my teen seems to have selective hearing when she has them on!!

They are not on a Bose level for noise cancellation. I wouldn't buy them to to cancel out traveling noise. For home use, I find them more than adequate. If my kid is YELLING, then OK, I can hear him. My wife, however, usually has to throw something at me if she's trying to get my attention. For home use, I like these a lot.

They can't make any situation sound like an empty concert hall, but they really take the edge off. I expected mine to make airplane rides be silent, but they don't do that. They really cut down the loud humming (on planes) and make it much easier to sleep on planes. They were worth the money for me for the much to reasonably quiet plane rides.

They don't have active noise cancellation. They can passively block out noise simply because they cover your ears, but any similar headphones can do that. Active noise cancellation is what you're probably looking for. Active noise cancelling headphones will do more against plane engine noise and other low noises (not so much high noises like talking), but they also cost more and generally have poorer audio quality.

They worked great for my 2 year old on the plane. When she got sick of wearing them on her ears the speaker part will lay flat so I could just put them around her neck and she could listen that way. You will need an adapter to plug into the airplane though.

These are great but I would not recommend them for use on a plane because sound will leak in and out. So you will hear both the noise of the plane and your neighbors will be able to hear what you are listening to. Instead I would recommend in-ear buds, noise canceling headphones, or closed back headphones.

No. These headphones do not have noise cancelling features and will not make your flight any quieter. What these headphones bring to the table is superb quality in a very light package.

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.

Well, they definitely aren't noise cancelling, but in my experience they cancel out enough to make a difference, and would do great on a plane.

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 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 headphones can significantly reduce the TV sound from the same room. It will depend on how loud the television is and the proximity of the television speakers to the headphone wearer. I use these headphones at my computer desk that is a couple yards away from my television. My partner watches a lot of television, so I wear these headphones a lot and they definitely help reduce the television noise as well as soften the attack of the noise waves. Your point/question about airplane noise is relevant. These headphones can greatly reduce the outside airplane noise. While sound canceling headphones may not eliminate all sound, they definitely make it a lot easier to operate inside of noisy environments. If you are looking to block the television noise from a television in the same room, I would say, yes, the headphones will greatly help. After you have used the headphones a while and compare noise levels without headphones, I think you will really appreciate how the headphones help.

No they do not. They are very good @ reducing white noise of airplanes but they only muffle the sounds of voices around you.

I really like my headphones, but honestly believe that a good set of earplugs would work better. They will work without music playing. I sometimes do this on a plane. They do an excellent job of blanking out the engine drone but I can still hear people talking (albeit at a much reduced volume)
