Yes and No. Bluetooth is considered a dangerous device when on a plane. This is because Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, internet connection all have the ability to interfere with the technical running of a plane. The implication of this is that if used, it can be very dangerous.

 Some airlines allow you to use Bluetooth headphones on their plane. To do this though, you have to get a low powered Bluetooth headphone and also follow some rules. The rules are that, if you want to use the Bluetooth headphone on a plan, it has to be used only:

Yes, this means that even though some headphones use wires and even some Bluetooth ones use wires, they are still not allowed on the airplane. As a rule, Bluetooth is generally not allowed by most airlines, the best thing you can do to avoid unnecessary disappointment and embarrassment is to message your airline and ask if you can use the noise canceling device.
