It's not made to cancel noise, but it works as well as you'd expect if you have your music turned up. However, if you want to completely cancel noise, I'd suggest looking elsewhere.Also, make sure that's actually legal where you are, if you're the driver. Here's a fun map to help you check!http://img.gawkerassets.com/post/17/2012/04/infograpgic_final_2.jpg

It does fairly ok with traffic noise if you crank up the volume almost to the max.. It doesn't completely cuff yor ear hole so you might have some interference depending on where you are and who you are with .

NO! it does not. Don't spend your money on this if that's what you want. I use this daily and it does not cancel any noise whatsoever. I can still hear noises outside on all types of music(Rock,Jazz,Classical,etc).

You mean the sound of people listening to music? I must say that although mine broke too quickly, they did an excellent job of cancelling out noises. I mainly wore them on the PT (train and bus, and walking downtown) on my commute to and from work.

For sure! But I don't recommend using headphones while cycling. It isn't safe, you need to be able to hear traffic around you. Play music through your speakerphone. Also, you may need some extra long headphones if you do decide to take that route :)

Although these are awsome at protecting your hearing, I would recommend a smartphone with a noise generator app with a set of in ear headphones. Not exactly 'noise cancellation' but it will give your ears something else to focus on. I wish these protectors had a mother-in-law setting.

Provides decent physical external sound blockage, but is not noise canceling. I have bose noise canceling. They only work with steady sounds. Like the hum of the road or an airplane engine/wind.

Probably more safe than using headphones. You can hear the environment sound, which is important if you're riding on public roads.

Very good noise canceling. You can still hear really loud sounds here and there if your music is soft enough. But a person would certainly need to raise their voice from their normal "indoor" voice in order to get your attention. If your music is loud enough, there's no chance you'll hear any outside noises really. Would not advise for office use...

I got two bose headsets which are great, the grado is for sound even more better, but you can only use them when you are alone in the room. They are open and your bystanders will not enjoy your music as you do :-) Thats the only reason i bought bose a d for the noise reduction whilst traveling ..... sorry they are the only grado i have ....

There's no active noise cancellation or isolation, so there is some leakage. However, it is over the ear and fits snugly and the noise leakage is minimal -- when I play music at comfortable levels (for me) in the office, my officemates are not bothered. As for isolation, I haven't tried them outside of an office setting though my guess is that these cans may not suffice for a noisy metro ride -- though they do cancel enough noise such that my officemates have to talk at an elevated voice to get my attention/oftentimes I don't hear someone come in the door.

Hi JF, I apologise that these earplugs might not be able to achieve that for you as it is not meant to block all all noise but reduce loud noises at live concerts, clubs and noisy work environments. You might have to turn to foam earplugs or active noise cancelling ones. Hope that helps.

I have used them on public transportation. They do a pretty good job of keeping room-level noise out (e.g. nearby conversations), but you'll hear louder noises like a train running through tunnels, etc. I think the noise suppression is fine but not remarkable.

I think they are mostly usable if you keep these in a small bag for travel. They don't have any active noise canceling features but the pads do a pretty good job of isolating if the music is loud enough. These will leak noise at more than 50% so remember to be courteous when using them.

Hi, this item will not completely Cancel Noise . It would only dampen noise. Noise Reduction Co-efficient (Hz): 0.3

As most (all?) headphones with active noise cancellation, they mainly filter out low frequency noise (like traffic sound, fan sound and airplane). That means that they are not so good with filtering out speech and tv. People who want to filter out those sounds usually buy headphone with passive "mechanical" soundproof. (For example Direc Sound EX-29)

I use these headphones for the exact same reason. They don't completely cancel out the noise but they reduce it enough that the noise isn't bothersome any more. Keep in mind that these are not technically noise-canceling headphones, but they are instead noise-reducing headphones which do a great job. These headphones are, in fact, better than the -canceling ones for this kind of situation.

Thanks for the reply,Does it only mask other people's music if you have music on? Like Bradley I want mostly noise cancelation, not too much worried about music. Thanks again
