do these headphones reduce airplane noise?

It will lesson the noise from the engines or around any place that you consider "noise" if you are playing the music with these headphones at normal to loud levels.

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.

These headphones can significantly reduce the TV sound from the same room. It will depend on how loud the television is and the proximity of the television speakers to the headphone wearer. I use these headphones at my computer desk that is a couple yards away from my television. My partner watches a lot of television, so I wear these headphones a lot and they definitely help reduce the television noise as well as soften the attack of the noise waves. Your point/question about airplane noise is relevant. These headphones can greatly reduce the outside airplane noise. While sound canceling headphones may not eliminate all sound, they definitely make it a lot easier to operate inside of noisy environments. If you are looking to block the television noise from a television in the same room, I would say, yes, the headphones will greatly help. After you have used the headphones a while and compare noise levels without headphones, I think you will really appreciate how the headphones help.

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.

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...

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.

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 only noise reduction effect is from their good fit. They do reduce noise tho because of that. Other headphones have a more "active" noise redution from internal electronics.

I'm going to say no. I find it will muffle the sounds but you won't get a total silence with these. This set is meant to work more on a plane to drown out that whiny decibel annoying sound. And even on a plane you can hear people talking, but again it's muffled.

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.

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.

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.

Usually the noise cancelling headphones (including those) are mostly for low-frequency noise (like airplane or street noise, or computer fan, etc), so they don't protect from chatter much.In fact, in airplane it's easier to hear what people say in headphones than without them.

They don't totally block jet noise but they certainly take the edge off it. They're far better than ordinary headphones / earphones - I'm quite happy with mine.

No. Not noise canceling, but they are a great value for entry level aviation headset.

These earphones block actually NONE of the noise. DON'T use them on an airplane.

These don't fit in everyone's ears the same way. For me they would not help on an airplane, since they don't rest snugly into my ears. (These are also not truly noise canceling, if that's what you're looking for.)

I use them on the plane and they do a pretty good job nothing can eliminate all noise but they do make it easier to read or hear your music or movie than not using them.
