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.

I've found it to be quiet. It's not noisless but the sound is more of a smooth hum than anything halting or harsh. The actual volume of the sound is pretty low.

I see the confusion. The blurb says "noise-isolating," but also clearly says "unlike noise-cancelling..." These are not noise-cancelling headphones. Some of the reviewers mention it as if they are, but I think they are confusing "isolating" and "cancelling." It's a good idea to understand the difference.

Not particularly. I used it for sanding and the noise needs to be lessened with earplugs.

It is not silent, but not noisey either. a good pad underneath would limit the noise.

From my experience and from what I have been told there is more or less no background noise

Mildly noise isolating. I got the comply foam tips and those make it better... Maybe to the level of shure headphones.Highly recommended

Not by definition. They're noise isolating headphones (it isolates only a certain amount of ambient noise via the design of the headphones allowing you to hear the music from the headphones more so than ambient noise. Keep in mind that you will still hear about 50%-90% of outside noise depending on the volume of the music).

It is not overly noisy, in my opinion, but I am old so my hearing isn't trustworthy. Perhaps a younger person should answer your question.

The the HF-5 work very well isolating this type of noise. A little bit of extra volume might be required but not a lot. If you couple them with ear muff protection you get even better results. Just make sure you clip the cord down otherwise you get micro phonic noise from the cord.

Klipsch refers to these as "Noise Isolating" due to the memory foam ear cups. They do not promote the product as being true noise cancelling headphones.

We hope you will find following info helpful.Sound Isolating DesignComfortable sound isolating sleeves block up to 37 dB of ambient noise. Sound isolation technology prevents outside noise from interfering with your listening experience, whether on-stage or on-the-go. Shure Sound Isolating Earphones require a proper fit to achieve the best sound.

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.

No. You'd want over eat type, closed cup, headphones specified as noise isolation.

Nose isolation isn't the best but it's not bad. You will definitely hear outside noise on lower volumes, not loud but you'll hear them. If you really want nose isolation get over ear. Trust if i had to do it obeer again that's what I would do.

Actually, no. It's quiet silent. I was surprised to hear it. I thought it would be way more noisy.

No, its not noisy. but you can hear it, its a soft sound maybe like a small fan, its not an annoying sound.
