I have to say, I have both these and Audio-Technica's full ear headphones. I love them both. I find that they work well on an airplane, especially because the noise they are cancelling is a consistent hum. Like many noise cancelling headphones, they do less well when the surrounding noise varies, like the human voice or someone's loud movie or music. In spite of wanting to travel light and being a "side sleeper" I always bring both because I find that the full ear version really cuts the noise of a jet, even if I am seated at/behind the engines. I arrive without the headache or buzz in my ears from the constant thrum of the engines. The work well in vehicles too...
