Are you able to hear the sound on these at all on an airplane? The sound was so low while just testing these will these even be useful on a airplane?

Our daughter (almost 4 years old) uses them almost exclusively on airplanes. We have never had a problem with volume, but they are intentionally volume limited for young ears.

these are too low, may daughter couldn't hear them on the plane so we had to get new ones.

I have. Their size is a little tough for long flights, as they slip around on the ear a bit, making it tough to sleep. The sound quality is fine, though. I've never really believed that true Noise-cancelling was all that necessary as long as you have good coverage in an over-ear set.

Hi Jobin - You know, I really don't use them much, so I really can't comment. I went back and see if they work, and they do, and there doesnt seem too much background noise. Hope that helps.

I haven't used them on a plane, but I'd agree with the other two. These are quite a bit big and always had a twisty tie for excess cable. As Ikarianlad stated, they don't "clamp" onto your head like conventional HPs. These "rest" on your head and easily slip off because of the loose tension on the "3D pads" on your head. I never slept with them in bed because they just don't hold shape.I'd look at a cheap pair of earphones/earbuds for the plane and use these for good sound at home or on the go.

They are rather big and bulky to bring on a plane. They don't "cancel" the backround noise and they only muffle the backround noise I get in my den. The planes engines, I doubt it. However, for listening at home, they can't be beat!

I have to disagree entirely with this post. I just got these headphones for Xmas, and while sound quality is great with cancellation on and does stop outside noises well, the sound leakage is quite apparent. I wanted them as something to use at the office but I'm not sure I can now. While I don't know how much of an issue it would be on the plane, I'm pretty sure I would be able to hear whatever is playing for someone using them quite easily. I'm torn about returning them now. They sound great and the price is awesome, but the leakage is definitely an issue to think about. If you cannot deal with leakage I would not get these. I have to disagree entirely with this post.

I haven't used them in an airplane.. but in the car and other noisy places they work great. They do not electronically cancel noise. But they do naturally cancel a lot of noise. I have worn them a collage without anything playing just because they cut out so much noise. Bass is great, clarity is perfect. I would recommend these over any other pair

I don't think these reduce airplane noise per say but they are noise canceling headphones and works real well at home or when on road trips in the car, I haven't tried using them on a airplane yet but I think you should consider these headphones.

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.

Although I have not used these at the gym, I would guess that they would help to muffle the noise. I could not hear the air and white noise from the airplane. When the flight attendant came around, I had to remove the headphones to hear her.

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.

I had Pyle noise-canceling headphones before getting these Plane Quiet ones. The Pyle ones canceled out more general noise (but the headphones didn't last long at all). The Plane Quiet ones live by their name, so to speak -- they mostly just cancel out the airplane background whoosh, and just a little bit of general noise around you. They're good for airplanes but I don't think they would be good if you want to shut out general noisy environments.

If you hear them, it will be muffled. I usually can't tell what the pilot on a plane is saying, but I know he's talking. Of course it will depend on how loud you're playing your music.

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

I have found these to be tinny. So what you are hearing may be normal. I do not find them to simulate live music. Their greatest quality for me is that they have little to no wire noise when moving, compared to all of my other headphones ranging from Sony to Sennheiser and Bose (which are highly overrated as well).

I have never tried them in this application. They will do well with airliner noise unless you are sitting right near the engines. Then you need heavy duty noise cancelation and suggest Sennheisers.
