Does this allow me to hear the voice of some one next to me while blocking out the noise in the room ?

Yes but not as loud as normal. For instance, I heard a crying baby on a bus but mechanical and road sounds were silent.

It blocks out some noise in the room for me. At the same time all the noise in the room makes it difficult for the person at the other end of the phone conversation to understand what im saying. Not worth the expense in my opinion.

Yes. You are able to use the headphones and still control the TV volume so that someone else in the same room can hear the TV, too.

I disagree with other comments here. I don't have my music quiet, per se, but yes, others next to me can hear sound from my headphones. They do completely surround the ear, but that is not the same as sound-cancelling.

Unless you will be in the same room as another person then no. Even when I played it in the same room as someone else they barely heard it.

Yes, you can use it. If you don´t want others listening to the speaker, press MUTE on the receiver control.

Yes it would and remember to turn down the volume when you set it up because someone can hear you

Yes you will still hear someone talking next to you but it will be very muffled

No, you will have to mute the sound on your computer. But when the microphone is in the up position, the microphone becomes inactive. You can hear them but they can't hear you.

Yes. I use it at home when my husband is sleeping in the same room. Even if the house is completely quiet I can't hear the clicks.

Yes. It is not as loud or good quality as if you were recording someone talking directly, but it is clearly audible.

The white noise setting pretty much does, although some of the other settings may not, as the sound is more intermittent. However, I'm not sure if it would block neighbors from hearing you, although probably, but only if you place it near the wall you share with them. It will block you from hearing them, though.

No it will not help. All you will be able to hear is the back-ground noise. You will not be able to hear the people close to you. You would be better to get a device with volume control.

I suffer from partial hearing loss and I can hear it when I am in the next room. It is loud.

Absolutely. There is a cut out specifically for the speaker so sound is not blocked at all. Hope this helps!

Definitely not if they are behind a wall. Even if it is thin. There is plenty of sound leakage, but if they are not in the same room I cannot imagine they would be able to hear it.

yes..you can control you're own volume in the headset while the tv is muted.

It wont completely block out outside noise, i can usually hear people talking still but depending on the volume i'm using it may be indistinct. i work at a bakery where it is very loud all night long and i can usually hear it pretty well and can block out the annoying people i work with pretty well, but not entirely. Unless you turn it up super loud, your likely to still hear some voices. As for others hearing what your listening too, unless you turn it up really loud i don't think they will be able to.
