How do these earphones perform while using outdoor power equipment (mowers, weedeater, etc.)?

These are attenuating earphones, not noise cancelling so they do just what you asked. I use the yellow 12mm foam tip as I find they do the best job of sealing, thus blocking outside noise and bringing out the full sonic quality of these earphones. I use both the HF5 and ER-4P models.

The the HF-5 work very well isolating this type of noise. A little bit of extra volume might be required but not a lot. If you couple them with ear muff protection you get even better results. Just make sure you clip the cord down otherwise you get micro phonic noise from the cord.

I have never tried them in this application. They will do well with airliner noise unless you are sitting right near the engines. Then you need heavy duty noise cancelation and suggest Sennheisers.

The in ear design works perfectly for it. It is liked wearing ear-plugs. Another example is like, you are in the car with windows rolled up and the mowers noise becomes low sounding humps...you will love it. keep the plug clean with peroxide ($1 bottle) at Rx stores.

Not sure as I haven't tried it for that use. But I do put them in on an airplane to cut down on the engine noise and they work pretty well. The different earbud tips give you flexibility to get a snug fit which should also help relative to alternatives.

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.

No they do not well when mowing the lawn. You can hear the music, but the sound of the mower is much louder.

These are not noice cancelling. Additionally I am not sure even the noice cancelling one from branded names ( Bose, Sennheiser) can block sound from lawn mower.f you have a chance to try you can from numerous choices Ensure you can return of they do not serve your purpose. trust thius helps

I have used these for mowing my lawn. I used my Apple iPod with a standard interconnect cable. The plugin on the headphones is the same as on the iPod. I was surprised how well they worked. I thought the volume would have to be very high but it was not. The sound protection was quite good and I could hear my music just fine. There does seem to be a limit as to how load you can adjust the music. I wanted it a little louder but found it to be quite adequate. It's rather surprising how you can turn up the volume and hear surrounding sounds better than without the headphones on. Then when start the mower, its sound is immediately blocked and I can now enjoy my music. I'm sure you'll like using them. I have used these for mowing my lawn.

I don't know for sure. I do know if you don't open the battery compartment when not in use, they wear quickly. Ric's response gives you the use time for a regular user. I use mine for hunting, shooting, leaf blowing, and power washing, or when I am in the woods running or outdoors and want to have super keen hearing.

I tried them while mowing the lawn, and I found they didn't really do much when turned on. These are designed to suppress sound over 85db, and amplify sound lower than that. If your mower doesn't produce sound higher than 85db and/or produces a lot noise lower than 85db, these aren't going to do much to to dampen the noise. Now, if you turn them off, the padding def. makes a difference. But YMMV if you're wanting to listen to music while mowing.

There not noise cancelling headphones. But are better sound insulting then earphone. Your definitively better wearing headphones over earphone, when mowing the grass.

I have not yet tried to reduce lawnmower noise. Yet, I found these to work very well on an airplane. From what I have experienced, they do best with monotonous lower frequencies. I'm guessing that it will somewhat reduce the noise. But certainly not reduce it dramatically or completely.

Sadly, I do not use these when working out. In fact, my work outs consist of pushing a lawn mower. I cannot give an honest answer as I am usually sitting behind my PC while using these ear buds. Still,they have lasted longer than any other set I've owned (considering my cats and my jumbled work area).The quality sound and durable cords are the best thing I can tell you for sure. Hopefully another user will be able to help you with the "work out" question. I have no problem with them falling out but then again, I am not chopping wood or jogging with them in. Wish I could be more help~Cheers! Sadly, I do not use these when working out. In fact, my work outs consist of pushing a lawn mower.

I've been using noise cancelling earbuds for years (Audio Technica ATH-ANC331) and mostly for yard work (mower, weed eater, blower) and yes they absolutely cut down the noise. There is a ridiculous assumption that noise canceling means you won't here anything. Good grief. I'm trying these because the Audio Technica's had a fair amount of hiss but there was a huge difference in the noise going from passive (buds just in ears) to Active Noise Reduction. Wish people would stop answering questions based on assumptions too "just the facts ma'am" . Total silence, not with any earbud. Hope that helps.

They work pretty well. They cut out the loud frequencies without muffling out all the music. I used to use foam plugs as well, and I haven't had to since I got these.

I would agree with KOG that these will not keep a lot of the mower noise out. They fit snugly and are comfortable, but would not be considered noise cancelling. However, I doubt you would truly want to mow your lawn with noise cancelling headsets as they are often large and would make you sweat. With the three sizes of the silicone ear pieces that come with this purchase, I think these will definitely fit snugly in your ear without covering both ears as earmuffs as any decent pair of true noise cancelling headphones would.

yes, ultimately but it takes some fiddling with the wires and twisting of the earphones to fit your ears and head size. I'm a farmer and use them with many of my active chores. After getting the fit right, they provide great sound and good base and can even be worn under ear protection equipment giving great sound while mowing weed whacking, driving a tractor or excavator.

I have never had any problem with hearing or being heard while outside. I especially like the noise cancellation feature.

Josh.....I bought these as a gift for my son so I can't personally vouch for the item. It is however almost exactly like a pair a bought a few years back and I love them. I used them in a shop environment with a lot of machinery noise and they were great....I now use them when I mow the grass...they take out the loud mower noise and allow me to listen to my tunes. Real Nice.

They will stay in your ears and SHOULD drown most if not all of the lawnmower noise. For the price these are very excellent headphones

The head phones, listening to Audio Books - NOT at full volume - keep my Garden Tractor mower soft - sometimes I can barely hear the mower. If I turned up the volume, I am sure it would muffle the sound completely.
