Are they good for outdoor listening? Too huge to carry outside? What is the isolation factor?

They are good for listing to outside, not that huge to be uncomfortable, and the isolation factor is good, but I will warn, that from my own experience, if you want to lisin to the music very good, you need to put the volume up (max) and that makes people around you hear what you are lisining. You dont need to put it the highest volume, but I just like to hear my music that way :)

They do isolate very well, but, of course, if you prefer the best in isolation, then get BOZE "active isolation", they are GREAT. The Shure are very very fine for listening and do fit around the ear comfortably and do isolate pretty well.

Hello. I actually would not recommend these headphones at all. They were a gift to my 30 y/o son. He treated them very gently, but one of the wires came loose and he got static on that side. He returned them but it took many contacts with the seller, and many promises of a refund, before they finally came through. I read several reviews that don't recommend these at all. Good luck

They isolate very well. You're not going to have to turn the volume up much at all. Usually, maxing these headphones on a phone or iPod isn't going to be too loud, but the isolation usually makes it loud enough. I'd suggest getting a good DAP or a powerful phone anyways. I think your biggest concern should be how hot your ears will be :D

I've carried them throughout international flights and in trips to the beach. I'm not sure what you mean by ''are they good for outdoor listening'', but i've used them in my studio and on the beach. They have this little ''leather bag'' that is included when you purchase it. You can fold them so it can be more convenient to take to places. They are definitely a little noise cancelling, but it's not like the real deal. Overall they have served me well.

I don't think Bose endorses them for outdoor use. However, if you live in a moderate climate without too many extremes and shelter them from rain and direct sun, they could work. For the record, I thought about installing them on our deck (sheltered) and decided instead to go with wireless speakers that I keep indoors when not in use. Also Bose makes some great outdoor speakers that might be better suited for your purpose. I have a set that have gone through fairly extreme weather and still sound great.

Since they don't cover the entire ear to cancel outside sounds, the bass may seem less intense than those that engulf the whole ear. But, the wide range and clarity of sounds is very good and worth the modest price tag from Amazon.The main issue is what your outside noise level is like. That will determine whether they're right for you. I use them only at home where I can control ambient noise. For a gym environment, I would use a noise cancellation type of headset. Good question. Would appreciate other comments on what I think.

They are pretty good at isolating outside noise because they are a complete over the ear design, and unless you have dumbo ears, they should fit over your ears to seal out most ambient noise. The sound in the headphones is exceptionally loud too, and the bass is pretty deep and thumpy (if there is such a word). I like them because it still allows me to hear stuff going on around me if for example, cars horns, or someone calling my name, etc. I have not tried them on an airplane per se, so in terms of drowning out engine noise, i cannot say, but in a car, the road noise is non existent.

Yes, At full volume people around you will definitely be able to hear if it is quiet. They are not as bad as other over ear headphones but being over ear they tend to start leaking audio at around full volume. Walking around outside it is usually fine even on full volume but if you are in a quiet room I wouldn't plan on putting them on full volume if you don't want other people to hear.

Sadly, I sold my bike about a month before I bought these, so I haven't tested them in that environment. :^( However, I think these would work fine, plus these are great for any loud environment where you still need to hear people talk. Also, these would be good if you use a device like ScalaRider or Chatterbox. Earasers do have another product called "Peace and Quiet" that seem to block more sound and may be better for highway speeds on a motorcycle, though.

Seems fine to me, i mounted them outside on a tree, stayed out all summer , no problems at all. I did actually wrap a layer of clear shrinkwrap arounnd them to be safe, but all on all pretty good, they had a good volume level, as well as a good Bluetooth range

These are good at cancelling ambient noise such as you may experience in a train, bus or plane. People talking loudly close-by? Not so sure. The audio quality is up to scratch, I would definitely recommend them for music.

I use mine while riding my motorcycle. They do an excellent job of muffling the wind noise which is substantial (I ride a Honda, not a Harley). I think they will work well for what you are asking of them, just be careful about not turning the music up too loud, it is easy to do in a noisy environment. I suggest adjusting the volume to an uncomfortable level first, then back off to a comfortable level, then turn on the machinery.

these headphones allow you to hear ambient noise as well as the music. they are safer in traffic areas because they keep the user connected to the sound around them. so they are not intended to drown out surrounding noise.

Yes, At full volume people around you will definitely be able to hear if it is quiet. They are not as bad as other over ear headphones but being over ear they tend to start leaking audio at around ¾ full volume. Walking around outside it is usually fine even on full volume but if you are in a quiet room I wouldn't plan on putting them on full volume if you don't want other people to hear.

Not that good really, that will also depend how you wear them in our ears and which in-ear tips size(4 size available).With the music playing loud you may not hear outside noise. I would say isolation is about 50%, enough for medium noise environment.

That is good. I leave mines outside all year around and unplug when not using them. I'm always been nervous about leaving things plugged up when i'm not using them, especially outside. Enjoy the speakers.

I have mine outside, but they sound great. I would not be afraid to have them in a small retail space.

They muffle outside noises, but do not block them out. I don't believe they would be comfortable for 8 hours. Suggest paying more and getting headphones which will cancel outside noises.

Hello Mark, I like to use these working out or doing outdoor work. They have decent bass. I like think chunky bass, and these provided good quality. My only gripe is that headphones ( after a while ) stop working. I have tried Beats by Dre ear buds and they provide better base. The price is key factor in that equation. If you need them for travel, or around the house, either Bose or Beats (Over the Ear) are the best ones on the market. But for outdoor needs, these are the right price.

They work great for that, I often listen to audio books and lectures while on the trail. Keep in mind that they as desgined allow background noise in. Perfect for riding or running not so much for listing to an audio book/lecture when you need completeconcentration on what is being said
