Skullcandy G.I. Headphones
Look better than they sound

While Skullcandy talks a lot of crap about their products, this one doesn't quite deserve the confident blather that is their product description. The sound quality is average; not awful, but not mind blowing. I have yet to try them on an airplane, though I have a feeling they will block noise well.
They are fairly comfortable and adjust easily. They are not compact at all, so if you are looking for something to carry around all the time, these probably won't work so great.
My biggest issue was the cord length. It was ridiculously short and would definitely not work for what I wanted, which is for listening to music while using my laptop. I had to go out and buy an extension cable. Annoying.
I think I would be more disappointed with my purchase if I hadn't gotten them on Steepandcheap for 30 bucks.

I recently used these on an airplane and I give them 4 out of 5 stars for sound blockage. The volume had to be turned up, obviously, but that didn't effect sound quality or blow out my eardrums. Could still hear the airplane engines a bit, but these weren't advertised as totally blocking out outside noise.
