Our Verdict
The Plane Quiet Platinum are decent everyday casual headphones. They perform well in use cases where isolation and low leakage is necessary, like commuting. However, their poor sound quality, comfort, and cheap, plastic frame, means they're not well-rounded enough for all uses.
- Stable fit.
- Low leakage.
- Poor and uneven sound reproduction.
- Inefficient audio controls.
Poor for critical listening. They have a closed-back design and a skewed, bass-heavy audio reproduction that sounds too dark and closed for critical listening.
Average for commuting. They provide enough isolation for the ambient noise of a train and bus. However, the noise canceling may not efficient enough for the level of noise on an international or domestic flight.
Mediocre-at-best for sports use. They're not the most comfortable but they won't easily fall off your head because of their tight, stable fit.
Mediocre-at-best for office use. They won't be audible to the people around you because of their low leakage. They also block enough ambient noise so that you won't hear the chatter of a busy office. However, they're not the most comfortable so you won't be able to wear them for long listening sessions, which is often the case at the office.
Average for Home Theater use. They have no latency since they're wired but a have a subpar sound that won't be the best for watching movies. They also have a short audio cable so they won't be the ideal headphones to comfortably watch movies with from you couch unless you have an extension cord for the audio cable.
