Has anyone used these with behind the ear hearing aids, and how does this set differ from the $79 Audio-Technica ones?

From looking at the published specs. This set has improved frequency response, improved noise reduction, increased sensitivity and higher impedance, translating onto a better overall performance

Wish I had more experience so I could help you better. They are a pretty snug fit for me. If your heading aids stick out beyond the back of your ear I wouldn't think they would be a good option for you. On the other hand if they don't extend beyond your ears I would imagine they would work just fine. As for your 2nd question I'm guessing the $79 dollar set doesn't have the noise canceling feature which works great!!!

I have behind-the-ear hearing aids now, and find these uncomfortable. I'd recommend looking for another set with a larger cup.

I found them quite uncomfortable after an hour. Something that guys around your ear is far better, that's what I have now. The noise cancelling function is a waste if time, I get a better result out of my current 'normal' headphones.

The sound isolation is pretty great. Nobody can ever hear what I'm listening to, and at mid to higher volumes I can't hear anything around me. Once you turn the volume down pretty low, you can hear outside noise, but for the most part they cancel noise ridiculously well for the price. Comparable to headphones that cost twice as much and more.

I would say noise reduction is pretty good with these. I tried different kinds and these are significantly better than average, I would say.

I have enjoyed them. I only paid about $7 for them, and for that price yes, they're definitely worth it. Good sound quality, and really good fit in the ear once you get them situated correctly. I have gone running with them and I don't have to mess with them at all because they stay put, which is hard to find. Hope that helps!

These are good for wireless headsets and for the price. You will still hear some snoring but not nearly as loud as without them.If you want a real quiet headset you should get a much more expensive "noise canceling" head set, usually they connect with a long small audio cable and cost over $500.

No, these will not help you. You can hear everything around, little to no protection at all. I bought 3 sets for same reasons. Try another product.

I wear a hearing aid, but when I use the headphones I don't. When my Sony TV is muted I can still hear it through the headphones, they have their own volume control. The only con is that the ear ushions don't last long.

You get plenty of earplugs... When you find the one suitable for you, noise cancellation is very good... But just buy, if you get them under 130 dollar, otherwise you get the same quality for less

Glad to help. Should mention reason I use the soft pillow headphone. I like to listen to audio books in the night. In order not to disturb my husband's sleep I was using ear bugs......truly uncomfortable. The soft pillow set works well for me. Obviously at price it's not stereophonic but as good as the ear plugs. I also like the volume control on the cord. For me, it's a reasonable cost-wise solution. Other alternative would be to get head sets which for me wouldn't work. Hope this helps you make a decision.

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 )

I can't compare the QC20 with the passive earmuffs you mentioned. I can say though that the QC20 does reduce the amplitude of voices but maybe not as much as you may want. I do use them in my office while listening to soft music. People have to shake me to get my attention. You can try them risk free for 30 (90?) days.

Hi Tony. My first pair were pretty good. Most constant background noise was filtered out (traffic noise, engine noise in aircraft etc.). I could still hear people speaking although at a lower volume. When friends tried them, they were all quite impressed by the noise cancelling.My second pair weren't as good as the first pair. That said, if you open the ear pieces (they are held together with small screws) you will see a small potentiometer (one in each ear piece) with an adjusting slot.I fiddled with this and noticed it increased/decreased the noise cancelling. If you turn it too far to increase noise cancelling, movement of the headphones causes a clicking sound. Hi Tony. My first pair were pretty good.

These fit over your ears. I would say go to the next size up to fit the hearing aid. If the hearing aid is big behind your ear it might not fit properly.

It depends on how tight the fit is with the different sizes of ear pieces included and how high the volume is set. If you get a tight fit and don't turn them up too loud, there is very little leakage - someone right next to you could barely hear them.

No idea. I'm happy with the Audio Technica. I bought the headphones bc online reviews rated them at least as good as the Bose, and cheaper. The Bose are prettier, though
