How well do these block outside noise? Interested in flight use

They block it out pretty well you don't here a thing but if the are to loud they will bleed sound

While these are a great choice for BT capabilities and $ compared to other brands, I would not rave about the ability for noise cancelling. I have heard the Bose is the best.

While these are not noise cancelling headphones, they do completely cover the ear and block a good amount of ambiant noise just as they are.

I would say they are average at reducing outside noise. They do cover your ears, the seal would depend on the size/shape of your ears.

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.

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.

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.

I have not used them on a plane. As others have noted, they do cover the ear but any noise reduction is passive rather than active.

I was impressed when I used them on a plane. I can't compare to active nose cancelation headphones, but it blocked a lot more noise than I had expected.

I've used these on a ten hour flight and they were really good ( but I was in front of the wings, however close to three babies) Sorry I can't compare to active noise cancelling headphones.

These block out ambient noises extremely well. But, you can still hear people talking which to me, is a good thing. As far as annoying others... I don't think you'll have a problem with that. It, of course would depend on how loud you have them. When I am sitting next to my husband, I cannot hear them when he is listening to his music through them. I am fairly sensitive to that, especially when I'm listening to something else and I don't want to hear his music. Hope that helps.

I have been using mine for carpentry projects and they work fairly well. For best results I use them with earplugs.So far no airplane rides.

These are great at cancelling out noise - on planes. I would also worry about wrapping the cord around my neck in my sleep. Check your local noise ordinances, the police should be able to help quiet things down by 9 or 10 pm.

I have used these on many flights now, and although they do not fully cancel out the noise of the aircraft, they do eliminate a lot of it. when watching a movie or listening to music, I don't even notice the engine noise.

I have used them on public transportation. They do a pretty good job of keeping room-level noise out (e.g. nearby conversations), but you'll hear louder noises like a train running through tunnels, etc. I think the noise suppression is fine but not remarkable.

They block out ambient noise well but are not noise cancelling. At best, you might consider these "noise isolating".

Mine were adequate at best for music off my iPhone, installed in a HJC full face and behind an adjustable windscreen on my Concours14 the wind noise at around 70-75 made them pointless. I'm returning mine because I can't hear them at all when trying to use the phone to place a call.

Noise cancelling, which actively cancels out incoming sounds, is not found on this headset. Noise isolating, which passively blocks incoming sounds, is what this set of headphone does, and it does a descent job. You can still hear external sound, but it's muffled. I used these on a plane recently and they worked just fine. I would give these a 7 or 8 on a scale of 1 (hear all external noise) to 10 (hear no external noise).

I used them on my flight to Germany and they worked pretty good at noise reduction. After awhile your ears get a little warm because of the padding but other than that they worked great.
