I have a neighbor who plays heavy bass music 24/7 and am looking for relief - will these cancel out the bass so that I can sleep?

Not entirely. It excels on canceling repetitive low frequency noise, such as the airplane turbines, but fails on more complex sounds.

I really doubt it. I didn't find that they cancelled much of anything. An over-ear model is probably a better bet.

You can get custom made ear inserts for sleeping. They fit snugly inside your ear, nothing on the outside that would make an echo noise as you move in your sleep. Look for them at gun shows. Sometimes the companies that make the ear buds for shooting also do the custom ones for sleeping. Good luck.

My neighbor did that too with his car. I went to his house and asked him if he had any idea when I left for work and came home. He said no. I asked if he had any idea when i went to the store, to pick up my kids etc. He said no. I asked if he had the SLIGHTEST idea if he knew anything about my comings and goings. He said no. I said, thats right you don't, so why should the entire block have to know every single time you get into your Grand am and go anywhere or do anything. For effect I told him if he insisted on informing us via his stereo of his life events, he should not be surprised if he comes out and finds his stereo torn out and laying in the street. After that he toned it down pretty good. My neighbor did that too with his car. I went to his house and asked him if he had any idea when I left for work and came home. He said no.

These are great at cancelling out noise - on planes. I would also worry about wrapping the cord around my neck in my sleep. Check your local noise ordinances, the police should be able to help quiet things down by 9 or 10 pm.

Probably not. The noise cancellation works best for higher frequency continuous sounds like an airplane engine.

Based on my limited use I doubt they will block loud or even moderate music. That's why I immediately returned them for a refund.

It should cancel out the noise, but they are a bit bulky. If you want to hear voices some others allow those sounds to be heard while filtering the white noise. If you don't care about voices, these are great and very affordable.

I doubt it... These are tuned to boost bass end. Vocalists I know usually want flatter response throughout the spectrum.

Hi Jaye, These aren't noise cancelling headphones. However, it has a tightly sealed acoustic design allows for a high level of sound isolation which aides in the reproduction of powerful and extended bass sound. _Anthony

They'll muffle the noise but know that it may be a little uncomfortable to sleep with something in your ear. My suggestion would be to fix the source of the noise, if possible. Good luck.

They will certainly help. Most any noise reduction solutions will, earplugs, ear muffs etc. They have good noise reduction. Check the -db levels, the higher the better.

Should be OK as long as you do not use excessive volume. I use them while my wife sleeps and she has not complained.

Yes... the only thing that I dislike is that it completely blocks out all outside sound which can also be a positive, but necessary to get the full bass. I also accidently put these things through the wash and once they dried out worked perfectly.

You can comfortably sleep on your back in them. They'll block some of the AC and neighbors but not all of it. I'd even say they would only block part of that noise. You could wear them while playing ocean sounds or white noise though. The combination of the background noise and the noise cancelling might do the trick. But the headphones alone won't cancel the noise.

I had these and they had very good bass considering that they are in-ear. If you sleep on your back it would be fine, but if you sleep on your side it would be painful with the earphone being pushed into your ear.

NO! They cut down on ambient noise but a loud item such as a chain saw or lawn mower is out of the question! If I pay attention I can hear what my wife is trying to tell me, while I have them on

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.However, for sleeping you could get the foam ones that are disposible from a drug store. These would drown out about the same volume.

If my husband has the stereo too loud in the next room I can still hear the bass tones. This machine reduces noise but doesn't block out noise. I live on a busy street and it greatly reduces street noises.

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.

They have decent sound (honestly, I think they sound very good), but they do not cancel ALL outside noise. With no music they block less noise than a set of soft foam earplugs. With music though, outside noise shouldn't be a problem at all.

they dont seem to. I dont turn them up too high though, so I may not have encountered that issue because of that. The bass sounds good to me...and I listen to ska music.
