PLANE quiet Platinum Noise Cancelling headphone review - One of the most annoying facts of air or bus travel is low frequency cabin and road noise, for most travellers it stops them getting any sleep on route, which is bad news if you need to get straight into a meeting or start your holiday adventure on arrival.

 

The Solution Noise Cancelling headphones, the PLANE Quite Platinum Noise Cancelling headphones are a high quality US designed set of Noise Cancelling Headphones priced at a cost, (US$99.00 with free delivery to the US) which won’t break the bank or your holiday budget.

 

 

Plane Quite Platinum Noise Cancelling Headphone Review 

 

 

So how about the feel and sound?

 

Once I put the PLANE quiet Platinum Noise cancelling headphones on I found they very comfortable indeed and the noise passive noise cancellation from the headphone padding alone was very good, my next thought was imagine how much better the noise will be reduced once the Active noise cancelling is kicked in! After switching the noise cancellation switch to the on position, I was instantly transcended into a state of near noise peacefulness and tranquillity, now I work in a room with several PCs that have noisy fans, and these headphones did a great job of cancelling out this unwanted noise.

 

 

When connecting my PLANE quiet Platinum Noise cancelling headphones to my IPod I found the music actually be enhanced, this is because the surrounding noise (repeating low frequencies) from my room was eliminated, enabling the full range of sound  from my music to be heard and fully enjoyed.

 

 

Plane Quiet Platinum Noise Cancelling headphones 

 

The PLANE quiet Noise Cancelling headphones are well constructed, with a decent amount of ear and head padding that will see you thru the longest of flights without feeling uncomfortable,  the headphone cord is long enough yet not too long that the cable will tangle up too much, half way down the cable is the on/off switch for your active noise cancellation along with the battery compartment (2 X AAA) to power the active noise cancellation circuitry, in all a very good design.

 

 

In the PLANE quiet platinum noise cancelling headphones box you get the following:

 

Plane Quite Platinum Noise Cancelling headphones

  • Set of AA Batteries (2 X AAA)
  • Zippered Carry Pouch
  • Dual-pin Airline Adapter
  • 1/8  in to ¼ In Adaptor

The PLANE quiet Platinum noise cancelling headphones are a highly recommend addition for any business or holiday traveller, who wants great quality noise cancellation at a great price. I cannot wait for my next flight in a few weeks to give the set a full workout, also drop back soon for my video review of this set.

I would not purchase anything from the vendors of Plane Quiet.  I bought their $200 Solitude headphones.  They broke at the connection between the headband and headphone.  A web search revealed this to be a common problem.  Irritatingly enough, the "limited life time warranty" excluded this chief source of failure for these headphones.  I was stuck with a piece of junk after two years even though I treated these phones with kid gloves.

My request for warranty service was met with a $20 discount for the new headphones since the old Solitude ones are not being manufactured due to patent infringement problems.  In short, they just blew me off.

I ended up buying Audio Technica ATH-ANC7 noise cancelling headphones for $98 and they are far superior to the $200 Solitude phones I bought.  Much better noise cancellation, better sound reproduction, and more comfortable fit.  And, the swivels that connect the headphones to the headband are very robust.

So, maybe these headphones are OK... but I can guarantee you that the company does not stand behind their products, and there is a great, inexpensive alternative out there (the Audio Technica - I've now owned 4 different brands and these are the best).  I can't see a reason for buying these headphones given such a great alternative, and the very poor service, warranty, and attitude of the Out of the Box folks, the manufacturers of these headphones.
