Will these work on an airplane? If not, is there a pair of headphones you suggest?

They work but you have to turn them up a bit to drown out the noise of the plane and there wasn't too much discomfort after a couple hours into the flight. The Philps Citiscape Downtown headphones I had previously worked better and were more comfortable but eventually the left speaker stopped working.

They worked just fine on all the flights I've taken them on. Some planes obviously use an adapter but they still work.

They will work but thy aren't noise canceling. You should look into noise canceling units. Bose has some that sound really good but cost a heck of a lot more than these.

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

Hello -- Jeff's answer is spot on. I'd add that we limit these to 100db (not the standard 85db) for this reason. It seemed that the white noise of the airplane would drown out the audio in the headphones at 85db, making them less useful on the airplane. But with any noise or sound, please be safe and check to make sure it's not too loud and it isn't listened to for too long. Please email us at support@lil-gadgets.com if you have any other questions. Thank you!

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.

Yes, they fit the earphone jacks on planes. I used them on an international flight.

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, if the plane has a standard 3.5mm stereo jack. Like most headphones, it does not come with a double-prong adapter for planes that require that.

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

Not particularly good on airplanes as they don't seal out ambient noise. Excellent in the house. I use sennheiser noise canceling units for plane travel.

I'm not sure because we haven't had to use them on a plane yet. I mainly bought it so I wouldn't have to listen to my son's (annoying) video games through the adjoining bedroom wall night and day, lol. Id imagine you may be able to though, as it came with one of those little adapter things on the end to make the jack (plug-in) bigger or smaller, so it can be used on a TV, or a MP3 player, or a guitar amp, etc. I wouldnt take my word for it, but bet the smaller one would probably work in an airplane plug in.

I would think they would work with any device that holds the standard headphone jack. I agree with the comment below by L. Kramberg. This is my first pair of noise-canceling headphones, but they don't seem to cancel any noise when I am on a plane or taking a walk. You'd probably have to spend a lot more money to get a set that truly does that. I like the feel and sound, though; but I'd have been just as fine buying a Sony or similar headphone for half the price I paid for these.

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.

If the airline has the plug like regular headphones. Some have those two plug connections still. But the are big to lug around.

Yes, but your results depend on the airplane. Most airplanes will require the use of an adapter such as this oneKoss 3.5 mm 1/8-Inch Airline Adapter for Headphone Stereo PlugYou can usually use the headphones without the adapter, but you will only get sound out of one of the headphones.

Hi,Jeff! This IEM has a good noise cancellation but I really don't know if it could do this job for airline use. If you really care about the noise cancellation on airplane then Qc15 or Qc20 maybe a good choice. Anyway, this headphone will definitely meet the daily requirements for noise cancellation. I hope this could help.

I don't think so. It only has one plug, but airplane systems are dual (sorry, don't know the terminology). You can buy an aircraft headphone adaptor.

They are not noise cancelling, so if you are looking to eliminate plane background noise, these probably won't do it for you.On the other hand, if you want a portable (fold up set) that you can use to wear that are comfortable, and mask outside noise with your music, these are pretty good headphones.
