How well do these headphones block out the jet engine noise in an airline?

probably not much, i can hear car noises when i'm outside perfectly fine with the included foam sleeves if you buy the tri flange ones, those block really really well (but pretty uncomfortable for me), also the yellow foams are garbage, they don't block any sound

These in ear monitors are ment to hear what you need to hear, its perfect to cancel out noise even when it's not playing music. Get them you will be please!

Haven't used them on a flight, but they'd probably be decent though they don't have any type of active noise suppression. While they do come with foam isolation tips, I use Comply isolation tips that seem to provide more privacy - they're another 20 bucks for 3 pair, but worth it IMO.

Noise cancelling, which actively cancels out incoming sounds, is not found on this headset. Noise isolating, which passively blocks incoming sounds, is what this set of headphone does, and it does a descent job. You can still hear external sound, but it's muffled. I used these on a plane recently and they worked just fine. I would give these a 7 or 8 on a scale of 1 (hear all external noise) to 10 (hear no external noise).

Have not tried on a plane, but have tried for noise-cancelling at home. Work at home writing and wanted earbuds to decrease traffic, lawnmower, construction and screaming baby noise. They don't work. They're ordinary low-priced earbuds, not true noise-cancelling devices. Went back to my Klipsch that I bought a few years ago. Oh well...

Yes, but they are specifically designed to work in an aircraft and work best at reducing the cabin "roar" frequencies. I could actually hear people talking, movie dialog, etc. all around me BETTER with the noise cancellation on in the cabin, at altitude. They are designed to let you hear your music or audio-book with greater clarity, not suppress all ambient noises. They would not, in my opinion, be a solution for noise cancellation outside of an area where aircraft ambient cabin noise is the primary issue.

I use these mainly when I fly. It blocks out the sounds of the flight attendants repeating the same message over and over on several flights a day! Have not used in an industrial environment.

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

They don't have active noise cancellation. They can passively block out noise simply because they cover your ears, but any similar headphones can do that. Active noise cancellation is what you're probably looking for. Active noise cancelling headphones will do more against plane engine noise and other low noises (not so much high noises like talking), but they also cost more and generally have poorer audio quality.

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...

No. Not noise canceling, but they are a great value for entry level aviation headset.

I have never tried them in this application. They will do well with airliner noise unless you are sitting right near the engines. Then you need heavy duty noise cancelation and suggest Sennheisers.

I have not used them that way, so I won't venture a guess. I certainly notice the sound cancellation effects around the house and in the office, but have not tested them against a jet engine!

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...

They are decent at noise isolation. I can tell that people are talking in my office around me with them on when listening to very quiet music. I can hear my keyboard keystrokes. I think I get about 15, maybe 20 db of noise reduction with the medium tips. You'll probably be able to tell you are on a plane, but will still be able to enjoy music without blasting it. I did not care for the included foam tips. I bought these to replace a set of Etymotic ER4Ps, which block 25-35 dB of noise. They are amazing in that regard.

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.

From my experience, these would be about same effectiveness of any passive closed headphones. The noise cancellation is not very effective. I fly frequently with Bose Quietcomfort series headphones which are the best for planes.

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