how loud (db?) do the headphones get??

My mother is severly hearing impaired and she loves them and it gives my ears a break from loudness. The house is quiet at night while she watches tv. I suggest buying them brand new from Radio Shack because the ones that I bought from a seller on Amazon were defective and had to be returned. They are worth the money.

Plenty loud. I don't know the decibels but I don't turn them up all the way. About half. Very nice sound.

I am extremely hard of hearing due to a tumor surgery in my left ear some years ago; I have more than enough Volume with this set! This is the second time I bought this product...by choice!

I have three sets of these headphne and although I have never measured the dB levels, the volume roller can make the headphones as loud as you can stand -- if that is your desire.

First off the headphones shown on the Package are they old style which are great. When you get them they are the new replacements which are horrid. I dont even use them anymore. They are very uncomfortable as well as they crack all the time. The do get loud if you turnthe volume up, but in the end a disapointing buy for me as I was used to the original one that were superb.....

They have a low impedence of 32 ohms but have a sensitivity of 99db which is around 4db less than usual (which is huge in difference in db). If you listen loud, this isn't your headphone.

There not bad just not very loud. They might be louder if there not hooked up to a amp mine are but there also paired up with 6.5 bass infernos loud speakers. When you have loud speakers you really don't even need tweeters.

That was a concern of mine as well, since the design is supposed to be kind of open. I usually listen at about 1/3 - 1/2 max volume, and a couple of times I took out my earbuds and held them in front of me and I couldn't hear anything. So I think they're pretty decent at directing the sound, although this is obviously not a thorough test.

They isolate very well. You're not going to have to turn the volume up much at all. Usually, maxing these headphones on a phone or iPod isn't going to be too loud, but the isolation usually makes it loud enough. I'd suggest getting a good DAP or a powerful phone anyways. I think your biggest concern should be how hot your ears will be :D

Hi Dan... I just had the opportunity to use my headphones and found that they do NOT block the sound as much as I would like. I also noticed there's been a price INCREASE of $9 since I purchased my set! Hope this helps....

I use mainly 300 ohm Sennheiser HD 650. I DO run it through an EQ and a tube headphone amp (Little Dot), but they sound good with punch and bass straight from the iBasso, although the satisfying volume is absent.

They do not cancel out any noise in a technical sense, as they are not noise cancelling headphones. They are for hearing protection and greatly diminish all ambient noise. I don't recall by how many dB, but it is significant. They are great for listening to music while mowing the lawn. In order to hear someone talking, you will likely need to look at them, listen carefully, and not have any music playing. Of course, everyone's ears are different, so your mileage may vary.

yes , a lot. many of the better headphones leak noise its just a trade off. they have wonderful sound and clearity. the Bluetooth range is very far as well. I have a small head but they fit well but look enormous on me. I hope this helps. basically everything can be clearly heard by someone near by , you would be " that guy" on the plane , I would stick with some simple ear buds and use these earphones for personal use at home .

not sure about the amplified db level but the sound is loud and clear. i usually turn the TV volume up and mute it. I can adjust the headphone volume easily with the control on the headset. so far so good. the only complaint i have is that after wearing it for an hour or so, my ears hurt. the company should have a better design in this area. be bold and be innovative.

well I got mine for kids, so I am happy with the lower volume but I give them headphones and they are happy with it, I use it to interact with my tv and play things on there so volume is not an issue there either. Sorry this really is of no help if your volume is too low for you.

Yes they don't get too loud. I've turned them all the way up and put them on. Other brands have been a lot louder. That being said, I still run them at 1/2 volume for my littler kids

That actually varies a lot on the output of the phone. On my HTC One I can't get any louder than 75% without it being deafening, because they are REALLY loud. On my Macbook I can't exceed 50% because it's even louder. Overall, volume should not be an issue as these are very loud headphones.

Yes, At full volume people around you will definitely be able to hear if it is quiet. They are not as bad as other over ear headphones but being over ear they tend to start leaking audio at around full volume. Walking around outside it is usually fine even on full volume but if you are in a quiet room I wouldn't plan on putting them on full volume if you don't want other people to hear.

At low volumes no, with that being said I can hear what my husband is listening to 10 feet away. He does listen to things a bit on the loud side though. He loves them as far as sound quality and comfort.

It depends. These headphones are really great quality in sound, despite such a cheap price. If you have these on on full blast on lets say, an Ipod: then people will hear you, BUT, only if they are REALLY close to you. But if you have these at a medium level of sound, nobody will hear them. I wear these in public a lot on full blast sometimes and no one has made a comment or asked me to turn them down. So its fine :)

Not a significant amount but would give them five to ten hours at about 70% power for the breakin. Listening at that level is also fine. They should mellow a bit after that. Not an extreamly loud headphone anyway. Pretty accurate but position on the ear makes a difference. Will be tight at first.
