How good is the noise canceling feature especially for using the headphones on the plane?

its not noise canceling, its volume control. it limits how loud the headphone volume can get to avoid eardrum damage in kids

Have not used them on a plane. They seem to cancel outside noise pretty well

I have not compared, but I generally have not used any active headphones that are acceptable for general use (from a fidelity perspective). As I only want one pair, and flights are a small component for me, I would use these as they seal off ambient noise quite well. I have not used them on a plane yet, but am certain they will not isolate that noise very well. f you can afford two sets and wish to carry two on trips, get noise cancellation. If you want one set and fidelity is key, get a better single set.However, maybe there are great active sets out there that I have not tried.

I don't know the exact percentage of ambient noise reduction. But based on my experience, I can tell you that on various airplanes, using these noise-cancelling headphones, the reduction is significantly less noisy. It doesn't completely disappear but is much more tolerable. Further, the music I listen to is much more pleasant, and I don't have to turn the music up nearly as loud. If I were to guess, subjectively, I would estimate a reduction of at least 75 % or more.

Yes it's noise canceling. The bass is very good and the drivers are incredible. Very good head set.

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.

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.

I don't know, I tried them at home while trying to study for a major exam, and they weren't that good at noise cancellation at all. I'm getting ready for an international flight n I'm looking to get some Bose instead for my flight. Good luck!

I would say about 90 percent of the outside noise is cancelled by the headphones but there is no difference when you turn on the noise canceling feature.

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.

I haven't used these on a plane, but I used to fly quite a bit and based on that past experience, I would say these would be OK, but they aren't going to beat Etymotics or a similar in the ear headphone for blocking flight noise. Despite what you read about the noise cancelling headphones, those were the best I ever found for quieting the ride. If that's your goal, and you fly a lot, look to the in-ear.

I use them on airplanes and to watch movies on Kindle while husband watches football games. Headphones are not noise cancelling, but they work very well. Other small headphones had much poorer sound, especially on airplanes. I agree that for the price they are an outstanding value.

The fit is really snug. But you can still hear the buzz of the plane. If you want noise cancelling then get one that specifically does that like Bose.

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.

They are not "noise canceling" per se but I think they would do fine. They work great on a plane.

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.

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.
