Would it make sense to use these on top of ear phones? I want to listen to sound tracks while I play but I don't want to pay an extra $20.

It would be entirerly possible to use earbuds and place the noise suppressing headset over the ear. They really do block out a great deal of external noise. You'd hear the music better. So: yes.

When my daughter needs to practice to music on her own, she wears these over earbuds. It seems to work great for her!

If the ear buds are small ( iPhone compatible ear buds) they fit snugly with Vic firths head phones. That's a great idea!! Hope this helps.

Honestly, I don't know because I do not wear them. But I would think that the headphones might be a little uncomfortable with thick ear pieces because the phones are a little tight anyway until they are broken in. I hoped this helped some!

These really aren't the best headphones for that. Not to mention they shouldn't be used outside if you want to keep them working.Their fluffy cloth that pads the headphones will probably make you sweat more. For practice you need something that is less fluffy and more leather/plasticy like.

These can be used on any item with a 3.5mm headphone jack. This includes laptops, MP3 players, Apple products, as well as all major items for audio. I personally do not recommend these as far as sound quality and durability. There are many other products that do the job better than these for less money.

When music is playing at reasonable volume, they're pretty good at blocking background noise, but not perfect. If you're just wearing them over your ears without input, the noise cancellation is more of a soft noise muffling than anything else. I wouldn't call them "noise-cancelling" so much as "reduces extraneous background noise so you can focus on what's playing".

You can, but I would not recommend it. I got a pair today and, while you can hear, it is poor quality sound. Almost like they are forcing Mono audio or something.

I used them with my mp3. But if you want some really good ear phones get the Sony MDRE828LP SLV Lightweight Earbuds those are great!

I think the sound quality is super and when wearing them I cannot hear any outside sounds. The buttons for increase sound does not work with my device. I would actually prefer that this was not on them. Hope this helps

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 :)

I don't use them to watch movies in computer. I only watch movies in cinema. I think their sound won't be bad. howerver, in my opinion, selecting an slightly lighter headphone is better.

HONESTLY, I would say NO.. Because, I feel they are excellent for an mp-3 player, or an iphone, because they squeeze in in incertion, then expand helping to mask any outside noise. My opinion, Your choise.. Good Luck. I will buy more when the situation arrises. SgtMac usmc

Of course you do!I use these for watching movies, videos or hear music, and they are perfect for that. They are not noise cancelling, but are comfortable and sound is good.

They're great for that , if you sleep on your back. If you sleep on your side, sooner or later you will break the connecting wire and end up with expensive mono headphones. My daughter has gone through too many headphones because of the way she sleeps.

Hi Ashley - I'm sure these will be beneficial on music stands as well. The prime advantage of these is to reduce transduction of energy from the speaker to the adjoining surface - desk or stand. This reduces the reflections and phase cancellations. This greatly improves the focus of the sound. I am sure you will hear a difference. It is worth the cost.

These are not noise-cancelling headphones. They are also "on-ear" headphones so the noise isolation is not as good as "over the ear headphones."

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

I don't own these headphones but as a cyclist I can say that it would be a stupid idea to wear these while riding a bike. even small headphones that fit under your helmet (assuming you wear one) would be a bad idea. if you want to listen to music while riding get a portable speaker and attach it to your bike either via bottle holder or in some kind of bento box.
