Is it really noise isolating?

Isolating? Yes. Canceling? No. If you get a good fit, they block a lot of the ambient noise but as others have mentioned they do not block out everything. I've used them in airliners and they help. Not as good as the expensive noise canceling buds but they do help. JLab sells replacement silicone tips that have an additional flange which may improve the fit and thus the isolation.

They work well. Key word is "isolate." I could still hear outside noises; they simply did not interfere with (or dampen the quality of) whatever I was playing in my ears. (...as mentioned by others.) Love the price. Will purchase a couple more sets.

Any earbud provides SOME noise isolation and some with tight-fitting eartips do better. Although I really like the JBuds sound and comfort (and the price!), the noise isolation doesn't seem any better than any other earbud set I've used. Some ear canals are harder to fit than others, though, so some of the sound leakage might be due to MY ear canals.

Not sure I understand what you mean by noise isolating. They do not prevent you from hearing ambient sounds. You can hear people talking to you, etc. I haven't used them in my car enough to know if you can hear emergency sirens, but I expect you can.

They won't prevent you from hearing loud noises like say a motorcycle or truck when your out jogging,walking, etc (which may be a good thing) but they do a decent job of letting you hear the music with minimum interference. I think they are worth the price. You can spend more for better earbuds but if your looking for decent sound without high price they are worth the money.

No It is not isolated, if you have a noiseless board with a one spot it should be fine,but I've been having some issues with this so i recommend spending the money for something more reliable.

I suppose it depends on how sensitive your hearing is, and how well you can tolerate quiet background noise. I found it quiet enough for it's location, ie, attic vent.

Not actively, you will get a small amount of isolation but not cancellation. It only filter low end and high end noises. I have central heating. It it noisy but with these on it gets a little quieter and lot quieter when I turn on the cancellation. I actually find they do not work well on airplane (too much still gets through, I had to use earplugs just lightly put in for partial blockage in addition for them to block enough noise) but when I was riding buses they worked great.

Yes, it cuts out about 33% of the ambient noise. To fully execute that, I'd suggest running a white or brown noise track along with it to fully cancel sounds if that's what your using it for.

They don't let in much noise, however "Noise isolating" is slightly misleading. Its not like you can't hear anything else while they are in. There are multiple sizes of rubber buds.

No it is very comfortable ! It does not make any noise when you move but that being said it does not block any noise ! I worked nights and found it better to black out my windows ! It worked the best.

Yes, I would say there is a decent amount of noise isolation, though perhaps not as much as those soft type that completely block the ear canal.

It is not quiet per say but it isnt the loudest one I have had... I would not get it if you are trying to not let other hear you, if that makes sence.

To be honest its a little on the noisier side. If u put it in an enclosed space or box it does eliminate some of the noise.

I doubt it. Ground Loop Isolators do what they are called, isolate ground loops. Take for example when you plug your phone into the 3.5mm aux and you get music playing clearly. When you also have the phone charging at the same time, it creates a lot of noise. The ground loop isolator works to get rid of that issue. In your case, there would be no point in isolating the microphone unless it is a powered microphone.

In all fairness, I dont listen to classical music, so I cant jugde that. The noise isolation is ok, for a library it should be ok, I have a kid running around and it isolates enough, to not hear him

It is not silent. It makes a noticeable fluttering sound as it operates. But it does work well.

Yes. It is quiet but not soundless. If you want total silence, you will be disappointed.

I'm really satisfied with the noise isolation, even though these don't have any switch to enable it. I think they isolate about 70% - 80% of external noise by themselves. Hope this helps!

No they are not. They aren't really sound isolating, either. So not great if you are on an airplane, but they are nice when running or cycling as they allow you to hear cars and people around you when using them.

No they are noise isolating. In other words, if I have my music cranked up I cannot hear anything or anyone in the gym. When I use these when I ride my bike I keep the volume at a level that I can get into my ride but at the same time I can hear car horns, sirens, etc. Hope that helps.
