I heard that the children's volume limit is difficult to hear when on an airplane...is this the case with these headphones?

Hello -- Jeff's answer is spot on. I'd add that we limit these to 100db (not the standard 85db) for this reason. It seemed that the white noise of the airplane would drown out the audio in the headphones at 85db, making them less useful on the airplane. But with any noise or sound, please be safe and check to make sure it's not too loud and it isn't listened to for too long. Please email us at support@lil-gadgets.com if you have any other questions. Thank you!

Not at all. I've had that problem with other headphones. These work perfectly. We just used them in May 2014 on an airplane, and my daughter could hear without any issue.

1) I don't think they work well.2) They are adult sized and can even be uncomfortable in an adult's ears3) None of my children (particularly when very young)would have lasted a whole plane flight with these in.

I would look for the child headphones with a volume limit, so they can't inadvertently damage their hearing. Plus, I hate to say it, but these headphones really have poor sound quality (I know they aren't expensive, but still).

Yes, these have a built-in volume limiter. No matter how loud the source music is turned up, these headphones will keep the volume at a safe listening level. This, and their smaller size, make them suitable for children.

There's no noise bleeding if you are listening at normal levels. It is possible to get noise bleeding if you turn the volume up high. I don't feel like these are that great for blocking out outside noise. You'll probably want noise cancelling headphones for an airplane ride unless you don't mind turning the volume up.

These don't fit in everyone's ears the same way. For me they would not help on an airplane, since they don't rest snugly into my ears. (These are also not truly noise canceling, if that's what you're looking for.)

I have. Their size is a little tough for long flights, as they slip around on the ear a bit, making it tough to sleep. The sound quality is fine, though. I've never really believed that true Noise-cancelling was all that necessary as long as you have good coverage in an over-ear set.

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.

I haven't used these on a plane, but I used to fly quite a bit and based on that past experience, I would say these would be OK, but they aren't going to beat Etymotics or a similar in the ear headphone for blocking flight noise. Despite what you read about the noise cancelling headphones, those were the best I ever found for quieting the ride. If that's your goal, and you fly a lot, look to the in-ear.

These are great but I would not recommend them for use on a plane because sound will leak in and out. So you will hear both the noise of the plane and your neighbors will be able to hear what you are listening to. Instead I would recommend in-ear buds, noise canceling headphones, or closed back headphones.

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...

To a certain extent, yes. As an on-ear headphone it will never block out as much as an over-ear or some airtight ear buds. But I ride my bike through the streets of L.A.with them and get just enough noise filtering in to be aware of my surroundings but never enough to interrupt my enjoyment. Airplanes are a different animal. The phones are designed to be so light they don't have much mass to keep noise in. While you may block out the airplane noise, everyone in your area will know what you're listening to. While they are super comfortable and very light, they are not made to be quiet room headphones. These were designed very specifically for activities, not libraries and airplanes. So while you will be able to block out noise, you'll be sharing your music with people close by in quiet situations. Hope this helps.

I use the noise cancelation feature on planes all of the time and I have never heard that. Maybe the cable is bad or a bad connection maybe? Does it crackle if you twist the mini plug on the headphone side or phone/ipod side? They definitely should not do that. Maybe, maybe bad batteries could cause that too.

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 .

These are very loud. You will be able to hear what your child is listening to, even a few feet away. The same brand makes headphones that do have child volume limiting, but they are not cordless

If you hear them, it will be muffled. I usually can't tell what the pilot on a plane is saying, but I know he's talking. Of course it will depend on how loud you're playing your music.

Yes, At full volume people around you will definitely be able to hear if it is quiet. They are not as bad as other over ear headphones but being over ear they tend to start leaking audio at around ¾ full volume. Walking around outside it is usually fine even on full volume but if you are in a quiet room I wouldn't plan on putting them on full volume if you don't want other people to hear.
