I understand these headphones will cancel the surrounding noise, but my main question is: would them work to avoid people listening my music?

The thing about the noise canceling is that it doesn't work 100% well. It acts more like a bass boost imo. It cancels controlled steady noises, like fans and microwaves, but not unpredictable noises that change tones like people speaking and construction. So to answer your question, if you have your music loud enough then yes people will be able to hear it.

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.

Hi Judith, if your question is about if people around you will hear the music playing on the headphones, in connection with the Noise Canceling feature, then yes they will be heard, specially if the volume is high. -Vincent

They have good quality for not being on max volume, and they wont fall off that easy, but if you put the max volume (and you migth need to if you wanna lisin to all the detals, at least in my own expirience) it will leak out a little. If you got a good mic, it should not pick background noise. (if you are worried that the sound from your headphones migth catch up, you should get a shure mic instead of the headphones :p )

these headphones allow you to hear ambient noise as well as the music. they are safer in traffic areas because they keep the user connected to the sound around them. so they are not intended to drown out surrounding noise.

It should cancel out the noise, but they are a bit bulky. If you want to hear voices some others allow those sounds to be heard while filtering the white noise. If you don't care about voices, these are great and very affordable.

It can block out the majority of noise in loud environments, however noise canceling headphones can end up being louder than some quiet environments. An audible hiss is apparent when it is super quiet. These can be used without a device attached, but the hiss will become noticeable. They will work with any audio device that has a headphone jack. I found the full review of these at "The Wirecutter" very helpful.

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

These block out ambient noises extremely well. But, you can still hear people talking which to me, is a good thing. As far as annoying others... I don't think you'll have a problem with that. It, of course would depend on how loud you have them. When I am sitting next to my husband, I cannot hear them when he is listening to his music through them. I am fairly sensitive to that, especially when I'm listening to something else and I don't want to hear his music. Hope that helps.

Yes. They do very well for the price. I personally like them a lot. They block out sound like any others would. I mean, if you're in an area where people are being extra loud, loud machinery, etc, then naturally, it won't block that out, but it serves it's purpose. Don't go into buying these expecting them to be total noise cancelling headphones like you'd find in a firing range or something.

it depends...I don't think so, If you like very loud music it will, but if you can keep it normal it's fine...the cushions on these headphones will reduce (a lot) the surrounding sounds, so you don't have to listen to the music that loud.

I don't think so. People will know they're headphones. They're great they don't get in the way of anything.

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

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.

Hi Jennifer, You can hear music with these in 2 ways: with the noise cancelling on (which will reduce the surrounding sounds but will consume the baterry) and with the noise cancelling off (which will work just like a regular headphones)Keep in mind that the pads are not very soft so is uncomfortable to wear them for several hrs.

Agree with Amazon Mama's response. Good earphones but not the best for blocking noise.

Not really. It's on the large side, and it's not noise canceling. They're open headphones, so people around you will hear what you're listening to if it's loud enough.

I would recommend purchasing headphones which use noise cancelling technology for that purpose. I use Bose and have been very happy. Koss doesn't cancel noise, at best blocks some of it. They are quite sturdy so I guess they block slightly more than an average.

It depends: with usual music levels, people usually can't hear what's playing, but with maximum sound, there's a possibility that people can hear. So they work decently for internal cancellation, not as good of a quality as higher standard headset. Externally, sound can escape, depending on the volume levels.
