Do these headsets have noise cancelling capability forairplane use when used without music?

No noise canceling. Just simple, clear sound. The foam ear pads do provide some sound screening.

I don't think they are specifically designed for use on airplanes without music, however I do use them sometimes without music to quiet down the background noise of my 5 children.

It doesn't cancel out the background noises, but it does reduces them. I've used these on an airplane and I was still able to hear the sound of the jets quite loud...

Have not used them on a plane. They seem to cancel outside noise pretty well

Yes they do. Taking 550 with me for a flight more than 13 hrs, it worked perfectly. 550 is not a active noise cancellation headset but it does reduce certain amount of noise. Watching movie or listening to music using 550 on long flight definitely work out for me.

No, they are not noise cancelling. In fact, I've used mine on flights before. While they block the engine noise better than my earbuds, they are far from completely eliminating the engine noise.

I don't believe their is "active" noise cancelling. However those plugs are pretty snug in the ear and the sound is pretty loud enough to counteract any outside interference. I've never found noise cancelling effective on a plane anyway because I can still feel the hum of the engines anyway.

Yes, you can. I have used that feature on airplanes when I did not want to listen to music but wanted to drown out the airplane noise.

My children have used these on planes and had no complaints. But these are not noise cancellling headphones.

Hi Brenda, this headphones doesn't have the noise cancelling feature but can be used on an airplane but it will not totally cancel out the noise. - Ella

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.

Yes. I find the earphones very comfortable when on overnight flights - and don't have music playing when I am trying to sleep.

Well, they definitely aren't noise cancelling, but in my experience they cancel out enough to make a difference, and would do great on a plane.

No, the only noise cancellation is what they block out by being sealed in your ears.

I do not think that is true. If they do cancel noise, I have not noticed it. Still great headphones, but I would not say they are noise cancelling.

Absolutely. The Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) on these headphones is fantastic. I have used these on an airplane myself during several flights back and forth between the U. S. and Afghanistan. The Parrot Zik does an excellent job mitigating the ambient aircraft noise.

I have not used them on a plane. As others have noted, they do cover the ear but any noise reduction is passive rather than active.

No. These are noise dampening only, check out the PXC 460 model for true noise cancellation.

Have not used them on a plane, but I think they would be very effective for filtering out environmental noise.
