From the US to Asia, I'm in a leg of the trip for 15hrs. How are these in planes regarding noise &amp; comfort, and/or compared to overear. Thnx

I fly a lot and I love bringing my V-moda headphones! They are really comfy and don't put too much pressure on my ears. Sound quality is great.

I Found on ear headphones better at noise isolation,these headphones are also a bit to heavy for long flights.

I recently flew from Milwaukee to Scottsdale with them; they sounded great and were very comfortable. Your ears will probably get a little sweaty though.

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

Yes the noise cancellation is really good. I travel a ton so I have used it on every size plane. It's not as good as the Bose Quiet Comfort, but it is pretty damn close.

On an airplane flight there was a guy snoring a few seats over and I could barely hear his snoring. I was able to sleep without it bothering me.You do need to make sure the fit is secure for the headphones with the proper ear tips and placement in your ear.

I have used them for about four hours straight and didn't have an issue with them. I know its not as long as flying out of country. They were comfortable, really good memory foam around the ear cup. I would recommend them. Hope this answers your question.

Both are rather comfortable so it really depends on the situation. When I'm on a long flight, over the ear is better and retains the sound to just me, as apprised to on ear which will allow everyone to hear what you are hearing. For doing something active, I prefer on ear because I can crank it as mound as I want to and they are lighter.

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.

They are not noise canceling headphones. However with an open air design incorporated into these headphones along with the large cushioned ear cups. They offer a really comfortable fit with not much ear fatigue after several hours of listening. Most ambient noises like talking, the tv, being in the car or out on the street is completely eliminated by the design of the ear cups. I have not used them on a plane yet. But I would assume that the hum of a passenger airline engine would not be much of a factor in disturbing the sound quality eathier. Hope this helps in your decision.

Yes, I got them for my wife for travel. She loves them good sound and very comfortable on a long flight.

You know I wore them on the plane and I think I adjusted them, I am out of town and my headphones are at home. If you want I can check again tomorrow night once we are reunited...and let you know for sure! :)

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.

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.

I have worn them on a 6 hour flight before. These actually to over the ears, they don't rest on them. I find them light and comfortable. And they've never failed as of this post.

They're really not that sqeaky/loud but I'd never take anything that makes noise like that on a plane so my kid could potentially annoy someone but that's just me. There are worse things you could take on a plane if you really have to.

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.
