Who has been using these ear protectors for airplane rides? Do they work well?

I strongly advise against the use of these for the purpose you suggested, if your flight is medium to long haul. Like all noise protection devices, these are heavily sprung for the reason of better noise dampening. The pressure on ear would be painful with increased time (&gt;2 hours) . Full rounded cups would be more comfortable (like pilots wear, racing pit crew, airport staff, etc..). Perhaps occupational types are better suited for your needs.

I use them to launch and recover F-22s for the US Air Force. I'm usually standing next to or moving underneath the engines and they do a great job at reducing noise at that range, so I'd say the answer to your question is yes, they work well. However, even for a slim fit EP, they're about the size of a baseball when they're folded up, so I'd probably opt for earplugs instead.

I have been using mine for carpentry projects and they work fairly well. For best results I use them with earplugs.So far no airplane rides.

I haven't used them for 'airplane rides', but they work very well on the shooting range, which is what I bought them for.

I was comfortable on a 2 hour plane ride with them on. The ear pads are pretty soft, not hard plastic.

No they are not. They aren't really sound isolating, either. So not great if you are on an airplane, but they are nice when running or cycling as they allow you to hear cars and people around you when using them.

I use these earplugs when I use the chainsaw. And I have used them on planes--they are great, especially when combined with noise-canceling earphones. That having been said, nothing will muffle all noise.

I did use it on airplane and noise isolation was acceptable. It is not the same as active noise cancellation but if you keep volume high enough and use right tips, you should be able to achieve decent isolation

On an airplane flight there was a guy snoring a few seats over and I could barely hear his snoring. I was able to sleep without it bothering me.You do need to make sure the fit is secure for the headphones with the proper ear tips and placement in your ear.

They are big but comfortable. They block out noise; I bought them for using on the airplane and have worn them for 6 hours at a time. Nothing is good in my ears after six hours, but they are as comfortable as iPhone earbuds.

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.

I have not used them on a plane, but I sleep in them every night due to a husband that snores like a chainsaw. They work very well and are comfortable.

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.

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 was dubious, but I used the headset on my last airplane flight and was amazed at how well they worked. Easy on-off and voila it works. I am happy with them...K

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

My daughter had a hard time hearing on the airplane. I adjusted the volume on her tablet to the max and that helped but they aren't loud because they are meant to protect children's ears.

The sound isolation is pretty effective, I haven't used them on a plane but I have used them while playing drums and they cut out a lot of the extra noise.

Hi Mark, We haven't used them in the setting of a plane but my teen seems to have selective hearing when she has them on!!

and I used the headphones on a flight to and from Australia, fromt he east coast of the USA. Not too many flights int he world longer than that. One set of batteries got me all the way there and back and I had them working with the noise cancellation on the entire time.
