These will not be sufficient enough for your needs. Dr Dre's will work but at $200- they break easily. Recommend that you get the ear muffs that they use at the gun range or move or call the police

NIKKI, these will help limit the bass from bouncing around your unit but it won't keep the sound out of your unit. For that, you need some serious insulation in the ceiling or walls you share. To really limit how much bass you hear from an adjoining unit is very hard without spending a lot of $$$ , as the low frequencies cause vibration in the structural framing, which tends to amplify the bass vibrations. That's why you also feel the bass in your floor and walls, not just hear it.Insulation will help but it won't eliminate it. Might be cheaper to buy noise canceling headphones or pay for music lessons so the quality of the bass playing improves! Reminds me of "Neighbors" by the Rolling Stones! Good luck!

I west them to sleep, my spouse snoars a little. They do not block out all noise. I still can hear if there is a load noise or someone (the dog) gets up and moves around in the night.

I can't think of a good reason why not if they're over about 5-6. I wouldn't think they'd be for under 5-6 minimum. They are graduated bell shaped "pellets" with a thin plastic strip/cord running from one to the other. They really do block out the noise. I always keep a pair in my purse for travel and I've used them for a number of years now for sleep. They're wonderful!

I guess it depends on how thin your walls are and how well you can hear your neighbors. The tumbler isn't loud but the rocks inside it may make it loud enough to bother close neighbors that are sensitive to sound from your side of the wall.

I'd think they'd be damned uncomfortable unless you sleep on your back without turning your head to the side at all. But, then, I've never tried sleeping with them on, so I can't provide an answer from personal experience. You'd probably be better off using some ear plugs to block out noisy neighbors.

I did it quite a bit. They work well but they are only ok at noise isolation so you will get some background noise.

I recently bought the Audio-Technica ATH-ANC7 headphones to block thumping and loud footsteps from my neighbor upstairs. Unfortunately, these muffle rather than block such sounds when no music is going through them. When I put on classical or ambient music, the loud parts block the thumping but I can still hear it when the music is quiet. So, these aren't a perfect solution. I suspect most noise-canceling headphones are intended to block constant low-frequency sounds rather than in-and-out random noises. Good luck to all of you dealing with noisy neighbors.

That would be fine. They are elastic - not springs, so it makes very little noise if any at all. Any noise from ours is coming from the kids!

IMO NO not at all. I have these and I love them for watching TV and music but if you just want to block out surrounding noise, these will not work. I'm very noise sensitive :(

yes, I would highly recomend them. You will be able to sleep on your side with them on. I use them only in the daytime around loud noise, it blocks out 75% of the volume.

They are not noise isolating; you will still hear some outside noise. And yes, there is some sound leak, but of course how much depends on how loudly you listen to them.

Ahh, a fellow sufferer. But I'm afraid that's the only consolation I can offer. Not only is it likely these earmuffs will NOT completely block all the noise, there is a distinct possibility that you will get headaches if you try to wear them overnight. I speak from experience. I have lived over twenty years in residential hotels, and the very worst thing about life in them is the noise from TV and music. Nevertheless, I presently wear these earmuffs, and the headaches have diminished with use. So there is genuine hope that you may eventually be able to sleep with them. I do so every night. And they are the closest to being soundproof of any earmuffs I have tried. They are better than Peltor's preceding iteration, the 3M Peltor H10A Optime 105. And they are better than Howard Leight's Bilsom 1010970 Thunder T3 NRR30. But there's no such thing as earmuffs that completely block out all sound. Unfortunately.

No, They make too much noise with the total surrounds that when you bump them and they move against your ears, the external noise will drown out the music.

not likely. Some work to reduce or block certain types of noise. Such as airplane engine noise, but not loud music.

Bass tones are non directional & will penetrate walls, etc. Vibration, however will be eliminated by using this product. If your subwoofer's in contact with a hard surface, these will cure part of the problem, but not Pink Floyd when you crank it up....

Hi, in my experience, this is very basic sound proofing. So can't expect too much. But if you stick them all over the room including ceiling, and rug on floor, it dose help reduce the volume.
