Is this model appropriate for listening to a 2 hour podcast, movie, or music? Battery life, comfortable while in use? Good on an Airline?

From a full charge, 2 hours should be no problem. The sound quality is also actually pretty great music, movies, etc. Basically it works well for anything except for phone calls. The sound that you receive is very muffled and a bit distorted, as is the sound that the other person hears from your mic. The only other thing I would caution you on, is to keep it charged. When the battery becomes low, you will hear a painfully loud, high pitched tone.

yes , a lot. many of the better headphones leak noise its just a trade off. they have wonderful sound and clearity. the Bluetooth range is very far as well. I have a small head but they fit well but look enormous on me. I hope this helps. basically everything can be clearly heard by someone near by , you would be " that guy" on the plane , I would stick with some simple ear buds and use these earphones for personal use at home .

They are great. I bought these headphones for a long flight and watched ten movies. Excellent sound.

I, also, had that concern. I was recently on a flight from Chicago to Albuquerque and was playing my MP3 player at full volume. I removed the headset and placed in my lap, couldn't hear a thing. I was also in a middle seat and neither side could hear a thing (and I like my Jams loud.)

I used mine to mainly listen to music as I commuted to work. So I had to charge it every day. My commute round trip is about 5 hours. So I got about 6 hours of playing time.

I have had problem on airplanes with people next to me hearing my music - likely because the are a closed earphone design. Batteries aren't rechargeable but seem to last for 20hrs of listening. Audio quality is much better the Bose however Bose has slight better noise canx

Sound is top, micro OK (I imagine difficult to use on bike anyway). Good sound isolation (I use in airplanes mainly). Strong cables. Wearing for many hours might get uncomfortable (something like the Bose headset might be better); depends on ear and which of the plastic tips were chosen.

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.

Yes, have used mine on planes many times. And on the TX you can listen to MP3s at the same time you are editing a document.

Try checking out Samsung's SBH600. I have been using mine for the last 6 months. On the ear, a little weighty, but it did the trick. If you have large ears, it may not be comfortable. I like to listen to my music while I'm working, so I've been using them an average of 8 hours per session. Sound is awesome, syncing to my mac at work, Android phone and my old iPhone 3g (used it with the iPod on it) was practically seamless.

They are terrible for airplane use. I suggest the cheapest noise cancelling headphones you can find for this purpose. My kids could barely hear using an iphone playing a movie on a plane.

Many of the reviews here on Amazon mention poor battery life. I would use it for the gym and on the plane. My concern is I am often on the plane 2+ hours so a 2 hour battery life would not be good for me. Not sure how many games I would be playing so purely for audio purposes it might be OK. I would go with a 2nd or 3rd generation Nano, but I am repalcing a 30GB iPod and going down to 4 or 8GB is not preferred. I am OK with 16GB, but no less so I think I still might choose this model. I originalyl had the Touch but I am lookign to get an iPhone later this year so I decided to return the Touch. Many of the reviews here on Amazon mention poor battery life.

If you aren't listening to a media (cd, movie), you will still be able to hear some sound with these headphones on. If you want total silence, I would get noise cancelling. Our daughter never really had a problem with the airplane noise, in fact, it made her naps on the plane longer! :-) good luck!

I use it both for my iPad and iPhone. Doesn't have a lot of bass, though good for movies and TV shows.

Yes! I love them and use them all of the time. They are great and satisfy my needs. I've also found them to be great on an airplane. I can't say that you'll hear no noise, but you'll have no trouble hearing what you are listening to on the Fire.

It works great on my iPhone. They are very comfortable for long listening sessions.

Battery Life is pretty good on my unit. Played 3 hours continuously at the beach without charging.Sound is good and decently loud indoors but outdoors not so much. It is definitely not a "Bose" unit but under an umbrella at the beach it served our needs. Hope this helps.
