Has anyone tried these on a trans-Atlantic 8-hour flight?

Not a trans-Atlantic flight but i did use them straight through a few cross country long flights in the US. They are very comfortable and you can leave them on for extended periods of time. The noise isolation is pretty good on the flight as well.

I just ordered a pair and will be using them for a my flight Orlando -> LAX -> Sydney at the end of August. I'll let you know how it goes.

I've tried this on a 14 hour trans-oceanic flight. Your ears might start to ache after 4 hours of wearing them, and you can still hear the jet engines. Yeah, they're not noise-cancelling. But hey, I still love them -- besides, we don't go on a trans-atlantic flight every day, now, do we? lol

not the ones I have. Have had them on for long plane flights with no discomfort.

I used for a 16 hour travel and I can say: YES! they are comfortable. But I don't know if they're compatible with Kindle......I used it for my ipad

absolutely. That is what I purchased them for. I use them all of the time on the plane.

Patricia, I don't know...if it doesn't say on the listing, I would contact the company and ask. I bought them for an overseas air flight and they worked fine.

Definitely - I travel frequently and it works great. Doesn't seem like it even worked on an 12 hour flight.

They do a great job for the price point - you wont find much cheaper. Only complaint is ear cups get uncomfortable after a while but probably work much better on your child's ears. They do a tremendous job of reducing overall plane noise/din, which is critical (speaking as a nervous flyer) to creating a comfrtable vibe. I would also recommend flying Virgin America if possible - they seem to do a better job of creating an overall comfrtable ambience than other airlines - they certainly have put more thought into it.

I'm sorry, I really don't know. I have never tried to use them on a plane...

I have used them for about four hours straight and didn't have an issue with them. I know its not as long as flying out of country. They were comfortable, really good memory foam around the ear cup. I would recommend them. Hope this answers your question.

We have only used ours at home and in the car, but we have no complaints. We love them! I believe these would work great in an airplane. One can be watching TV and the other sitting right there with his headphones I haven't gotten one complaint.

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.

I used a pair like these, with passive noise cancellation, on a plane and they were actually pretty good. It will not stop the ear pressure due to altitude, but you wont hear a thing

I don't how the other headsets compare, but I'll say this: I wore these on a nine hour flight from NY to Moscow, and they didn't hurt my ears. They are very adjustable and just snug enough. And, it comes with a airline adapter.

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 asked a flight attendant once (using a different TENS unit). He checked with the pilot and told me it would be fine.

My 7-year old used them on a 6-hour flight, she didn't complain of not being able to hear. They would definitely fit kids in a similar age range, maybe ages 4-12... others might have a different answer.
