How were they at "isolating" noise? Pretty effective at blocking out most unwanted sounds?

Actually yes quite good. I'm using the memory foam like attachments as ear buds rather than the traditional rubber ones (they have a half dozen sizes to choose from) and the seal is almost complete. There's no actual noise cancelation tech involved as far as I know but they seem to do just as good as my QE2 headphones..

Yes. Overall a quality earphone for the price (although lacking the bass of other higher priced models, e.g. Shure se535).

Hi Chris - Isolating any speaker from the surface that it rests on always creates a better sound definition. If you have the speaker on a shelf or hanging on the wall the shelf the energy from the speaker is transfered to the shelf or wall. This will cause vibrations that will be out-of-phase from the information/sound radiating from you speaker which will cancel out the sound and reduce the over-all clarity of the sound. I use the isolators and the make a immediate different in the sound. Really amazing. The low end will be much more defined and clear. If you can afford them - and if you are fussy about the sound coming out of your speakers - I would highly recommend the isolators. I would even say that if you listen to some of your favorite music - it will sound much better than before.

they didn't work well for me; the sounds were muffled with noise reduction on or off.

Mark, they are pretty good at drowning out background noise. I love mine! They have a great sound as well & are very comfortable!

They work pretty well. They cut out the loud frequencies without muffling out all the music. I used to use foam plugs as well, and I haven't had to since I got these.

They do well at blocking out a good bit noise . Depends on the level of construction going on.

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

It doesn't block out all sound, but it does block out most of it. I think it's because of the padding, not any kind of advanced technology.

The noise cancellation is pretty good, they do a good job of making things quite, they could block out the sound if they where playing music

Honestly it depends on how close people are to you, the volume they are speaking at, and the volume you have your music set to. It does block out a good amount though.

I have never used them in this scenario so it is hard to say. I imagine they could be effective. They block out the sound of conversation from coworkers in close proximity. I suppose it depends on how loud you have the volume on the game. I really have been satisfied with these headphones and despite them cracking I am still able to use them.

These are not noise cancelling headphones, so they're not gonna be as good at completely removing external sound. However, the pads fit over yours effectively, and the sound itself has such great clarity, that it greatly muffles any external noise - essentially being passive noise cancelling headphones. I've used this on planes, car rides, in public, and honestly sometimes i wish they were a little less good at blocking out other sounds so I'd have better awareness of people and things around me. But you will never regret buying these instead of actively noise cancelling headphones.

It's nose isolation just by the closed ear design. Works pretty well, just not specifically a feature (a small amount of outside sound still gets through)

High volume, they leak very little noise and block sound very well. Medium/low volume they don't block sound that much.

Thanks for the reply,Does it only mask other people's music if you have music on? Like Bradley I want mostly noise cancelation, not too much worried about music. Thanks again

While they are not 100% leak proof. I would say they block roughly 90% of the sound to the people around you.

Noise cancelling, which actively cancels out incoming sounds, is not found on this headset. Noise isolating, which passively blocks incoming sounds, is what this set of headphone does, and it does a descent job. You can still hear external sound, but it's muffled. I used these on a plane recently and they worked just fine. I would give these a 7 or 8 on a scale of 1 (hear all external noise) to 10 (hear no external noise).
