I understand that these block outside noise well, but how well do they keep the sound *in*? Will my music be heard by those around me?

Only if you max the volume will people around you hear. They keep sound in very well.

Unless you are playing your music incredibly loud others in the room should not be able hear what you are listening to. My wife says she cannot hear anything I am listening to.

Actually, I'd say it doesn't do that great of a job blocking outside noise. On a scale of 1-10, I would give it a 4. Mostly it only lets louder noises in, but when nothing is going on ingame or if there is no music, you can hear others talking quite clearly. That being said, it runs pretty much silent when on someone's head. When my ears get a bit achy, I'll set them on the table next to me, and I can listen to whatever pretty easily. HOWEVER, as soon as it is on a person's head, nobody but the wearer (or people really really close, when at high volumes) can hear the content. Also, in case you wanted to know, the directional mic does a great job at reducing accidental noise traffic transmission. Hop this all helps.

No. These headphones rest just over your ears, and while they produce a great sound, they will not block outside noise. A headphone with a cupped earpiece would be better suited for your needs.

For the price id say it's very good at blocking out external noise. An aside; if you fidget with the headphone jack area it may be a scratchy connection. Eventually these types of headphones just lose connection and one side will play and all sorts of stuff. But I love them while they laat

If your asking, does outside noise get to your ears? Yes they are not designed to keep all noise out. Designed to keep the volume of frequencies at a level that will not damage yor ears. They do not deaden all sound,which is perfect . They allow you to participate without fear of injury. Hope this was some help.

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

They have decent sound (honestly, I think they sound very good), but they do not cancel ALL outside noise. With no music they block less noise than a set of soft foam earplugs. With music though, outside noise shouldn't be a problem at all.

Glad to help...People often see to be able to tell when I am using the headphones....when in low to med noise environments the output is great. Seemingly the headphones do not defeat exterior noise so the result is often a mixture of everything that is going on my side of the call. Functionality is awesome...as long as you're in an enviro that is not noisy you will love 'em.

They block out external sound well, but do not have active noise cancelation. They don't leak sound so if you turn up the volume you won't bother those near you.

It really depends on how loud your music is. They do isolate sound very well, I admit. For someone to catch my attention they have to yell my name or physically touch me when I have the headphones in my ear at medium loudness. My advice is to just be careful and rely on sight while using them.

Hey Climbing - they will definiteky reduce noise. I actually use them to listen to podcasts while mowing the lawn. They are a little bulky because they cover the whole ear. If you don't mind that then I would recommend them.

I have never used mine outside the house, but they work great there-2 adolescents at home and blocks out most of the hubbub. I can wear them and listen to something while the kids are watching a movie or TV and am not disturbed by their watching. As long as there is a good fit around your ear, you get good noise cancellation.

Absolutely. Best background noise blocker I've ever had. Blocks out work noise, my four year old and my new puppy. I can even use them when i vacume and hear the music over the vacume. I actually have to turn them down when i ride my bike because i can't hear cars comming up on me. Hope that helped :)

They Do A Very Good Job Of Blocking The Noise Surrounding You. I Don't Hear The Noises Around Me, So When Someone Talks To Me I Take One Of The Earbuds Out Of My Ear. I Hope This Helps.

They are pretty good at isolating outside noise because they are a complete over the ear design, and unless you have dumbo ears, they should fit over your ears to seal out most ambient noise. The sound in the headphones is exceptionally loud too, and the bass is pretty deep and thumpy (if there is such a word). I like them because it still allows me to hear stuff going on around me if for example, cars horns, or someone calling my name, etc. I have not tried them on an airplane per se, so in terms of drowning out engine noise, i cannot say, but in a car, the road noise is non existent.

I think they work pretty well. I wear them at work to. And I work around machines. They don't completely block it out but enough to where it's not a big deal. If your syncing them with your phone, after your phone volume is maxed they have the own volume as well to go on top of your phones. So they get pretty loud. Not completely noise canceling but as long as your not somewhere crazy loud they'll block out the noise.

They don't block out ALL noise, but they definitely block a lot of noise. They don't mute everything though

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