Would these block out someone talking?

Yes, my emplyoyees where them in the crematory and they forget to take them off because they are so comfortable and when I ask them a question they dont hear me until the take them off!

Depends on how loud the person is. They are pretty good with blocking sound. I have to yell for my son to hear me if he's wearing them. Normal talk is pretty hard to hear.

Not if they were within a few metres and talking relatively loudly and you were paying attention. Yes if they were further away, whispering, or you were in your own little dream world (as sometimes I can be inclined to be...) I found that I took them off when having a detailed conversation about the next bit of the work as was just easier, but could still hear when hubby came over and asked if it was time for a cup of tea!

They Do A Very Good Job Of Blocking The Noise Surrounding You. I Don't Hear The Noises Around Me, So When Someone Talks To Me I Take One Of The Earbuds Out Of My Ear. I Hope This Helps.

I would say no. They are bigger than normal hearing protection. You could use them undetected if you wear the ear-muff style hearing protectors. I don't know what other colors they come in. Mine are just like the picture.

Not really, they're not exactly noise canceling; on louder volumes, you can keep out noise

Yes. These work very well for that. I work in an over crowded office environment and these work well to block out noise around me, and work well to talk on the phone. If listening to music, it does not escape to bother anyone around me. Hope this helps.

They're ok for noise blocking. I purchased a Bose noise canceling headset threw Costco and they work pretty good, I don't have the specific item number but they are under $200.00. I'm sure Amazon has them too.

Not 100% sure but I would be willing to bet they would block out all but the worst snorers. They are comfortable so you could sleep with them so give them a try.

They'll block out a lot of noise, however if you're in an abnormally loud vehicle or other situation where there's a consistent droning noise you may want to look for active noise canceling headphones. If the sound you're trying to filter out is not loud and consistent active noise canceling will be useless. These headphones do _not_ feature active noise canceling but are closed back and will block out a lot of sound, such as people talking, TV in the room etc.

I wouldn't say these suppress exterior noise by much. I bought these because we have 3 people in our house that work evenings, and my wife can listen to the TV without disturbing anyone. She says she can hear the dishwasher a very small amount while wearing them. Just testing them myself some has to really direct their voice to you to be disruptive. A side note.....We LOVE these! The serve a great purpose and work fantastically!

Hello Belle,These headphones block the sound to a certain level on low volume, but I can assure you that you won't hear anything if you turn them up all the way to the end. So basically they should do the trick I suppose.

Sure. These are essentially earplugs with built-in headphones. If you don't listen to anything, they still block noise effectively.

Not sure what you are asking, but I would think these would help those who have some hearing impairment. We use them because we are in a room with a high ceiling and cannot hear the words clearly in spoken dialogue due to the poor acoustics in the room. They work great for that purpose.

Yes. Also, they block out background noise well, so you may be able to hear well even at a low volume.

No. They're closed back, so the sound is mostly muffled to an outside listener. They'll hear something if you have it loud enough. But they're mostly isolated.

No it does not avoid blocking the speakers but if it is to low you may not hear it as well.

These weren't very good for blocking out noise during my cross-country flights - I still pull out my noise cancelling headphones for that. Not sure how much other people around you can hear - they don't seem to bother my wife if I watch a movie in bed with these on.

No. Sadly, I do not think they would be strong enough. It muffles out background noise.
