Has anyone used these as airplane headphones and how well could you hear movies?

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

You can hear fine. They are NOT noise canceling - you can definitely hear airplane noise. When off the plane they sound much better than the noise canceling ones. Hope that helps.

I used mine on an airplane to listen to music from my ipod. I also use these when I sometimes watch movies on my laptop. Of course these aren't noise cancellation headphones, but the ear cups fit so well over your ears they might as well be. Sound quality is great and they have good, deep bass so I don't see you having any issues hearing movies. They're also very comfortable for long term use.

This is a horrible headset when it comes to isolating sounds. You want something that has a noise cancellation feature.

Well for airplane use, the audio bleeds out, i have used them, but i would not recommend them for this sole use, if you want good headphones then get them, just do not turn up the audio to a level that bothers people. Also they work fine with movies, but in my official review I do recommend you use an audio amplifier to get what you paid for out of these headphones.

I'm using them as front stereo speakers with a subwoofer in my living room. I use them for stereo music and we use them when watching movies. They should be plenty loud. You'll have to find the right balance with them if you are using a center channel. Otherwise they will work fine. I have these and an 8 inch Yamaha subwoofer and it fills the room with sound during music and movies.

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.

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

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.

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.

Have not tried on a plane, but have tried for noise-cancelling at home. Work at home writing and wanted earbuds to decrease traffic, lawnmower, construction and screaming baby noise. They don't work. They're ordinary low-priced earbuds, not true noise-cancelling devices. Went back to my Klipsch that I bought a few years ago. Oh well...

Yrs, I'be used them on laptops, planes, etc. Once it has the headphones jack, you are good

These are not *ACTIVE* noise cancelling headphones, but they do a pretty good job of blocking out ambient noise as long as you don't rest your head against the wall of the plane (window seat). [In that case the direct physical sound conduction is noticeable]. I use them on airplanes and I can run my audio volume at half and listen quite comfortably. By comparison, my ear buds require nearly full-blast volume on a plane and the audio still isn't clear.

They're not the actual noise canceling-type headphones which are more expensive, but I can use them on a plane and block out the noise and it does dull any outside noises A LOT so they should work just fine. Case in point: I play music to go to sleep with these headphones, and I slept through a burglar alarm going off in the apartment I was staying in (the cat set it off). I blame the headphones. Whoops...

Yes, but they are specifically designed to work in an aircraft and work best at reducing the cabin "roar" frequencies. I could actually hear people talking, movie dialog, etc. all around me BETTER with the noise cancellation on in the cabin, at altitude. They are designed to let you hear your music or audio-book with greater clarity, not suppress all ambient noises. They would not, in my opinion, be a solution for noise cancellation outside of an area where aircraft ambient cabin noise is the primary issue.

I took them to work with me once while working 3rd shift. I went to another room and could hear my movie just fine. I'd say it was about 20-25 feet away from my iPad, and through a wall as well. The sound was never distorted. I've also used them with my android phone in my back yard, with the same distance, no problem there either.

I have used them in a Bose overhead DVD player and they were fine. Hope this helps

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

We have only used ours at home and in the car, but we have no complaints. We love them! I believe these would work great in an airplane. One can be watching TV and the other sitting right there with his headphones I haven't gotten one complaint.

Being montitor earbuds, you can expect a great performance in movies. The IE 4's are pretty mobile too. They do cover up a lot of sound for you, which may be a pro or a con, depending on what you think of it.
