Has anyone tried these in a classroom setting? My professors are quiet and usually 20~ feet away

Sound tends to be distorted and run together. However, if you sit wher you can read your instructors lips during hard times of hearing, it will be fine. The slower he talks the better also. I wear mine at church and it helps a lot, especially in proportion to cost. Volume adjustment is important.

They are connected. We bought 12 pairs to teachers to use in their classrooms. They work great for that size of room.

I've actually used them while playing computer games while my roommate watched football on TV just a few feet away (4-5'). They do an okay job at that. I could really only hear the TV when my game was quiet. They'll probably work pretty well as long as you sit a little farther away than I did.

Well you shouldn't have your headphones blasting if you're in class anyway lol. But! If you have them at a low or medium level no one would be able to hear them.

Do not play your music too loud. People will hear you. I have used them in my classes on mid-low volume and nobody ever confronts me about them.

Yes it will work, but I doubt it will be loud enough for a classroom. I really would recommend something larger.

I installed 2 of them in my classroom. I prefer them on low since they are close to my desk. I depend on listening to help me monitor my students and class room behavior. However, if I had put them on the other side of the room or had not put them so close together, I would use a higher RPM.

I use my earphones in my room in the monastery. I ask people who enter my room. Can they hear my music and they say they cannot, but I can hear them coming in. I love them.

They should work in a computer lab. They work in all audio inputs I have tried.

No, they work very well in a home environment feeding maybe 1000 sq feet. That's with minimal ambient noise. A room full of people making noise would make these things be turned way up and distort. My opinion.

I have used them in a work lunchroom and have completely shut out the noise of the random chatter. Depending on the level of speaking (which we all know people like to shout in their cell phones) I think they will greatly cut down if not eliminate the noise for you.

They are not loud. You can hear them as loud as your clothes but they really don't work.

I use them in a wall unit that is enclosed. They are however a couple of inches away from the walls of the enclosure. They seem it be very forgiving to the needs of the user and less then perfect acoustical choices (a marriage dictates my speaker placement, heehee).

You will hear a faint clicking sound. I use them in a school setting and I only notice it when I am close to the device.

These work ok, but not not great for background noise. I tried them for a student to help "quite" talking noise in a crowded classroom, in both our opinions they didn't make any difference at all in an environment with loud talking.

In my experience, if you can hear it, this will pick it up. I've set it in one end of my house and walked in a room at the other end and I could still play myself back talking. Since even in large classes, the students are generally quiet you should have no problem. I use in in class. If you hear a lot of backnoise, put the mic sensitivity on low. I'm extremely pleased with it.

I rarely ever use these at more than half volume and that seems to work out fine when I'm near other people in a quiet environment. However, you need to turn off (off not down) the sound when you take them off of your head. Otherwise, it can lead to an embarrassing situation :PAlso, I've had people tell me they can hear my music at 70% volume and higher, but that's probably more than you'll need for an office setting.
