I take a jazzercise class which has blaring, hearing damaging rock music and teacher yells over that. Will this work to cancel out loud music?

Sure these would block the loud music/noise.. and optionally allow you to pipe in your own music.. but may be a bit cumbersome if moving head around a lot. Probably inner ear plugs would be better when performing a workout with a lot of motion. Search amazon for "ear plugs" and lots of good options.

These might work for that application, but I would try ear plugs first. Ear plugs would be cheaper, smaller, less distracting and less likely to fly off of your head when whipping your head around during an awesome dance move! Plus the ear plugs are disposable and you would have to clean the sweat out of the Impact ear muffs after each jazzercise class. The ear plugs would lower the overall sound of everything, but you would still be able to hear the music and instructor. http://www.amazon.com/Howard-Leight-Earplugs-Uncorded-NRR33/dp/B0013A0C0Y/ref=sr_1_1?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1383340932&sr=1-1&keywords=howard+leight+ear+plugs just my $.02. Good luck and keep on dancing!

My "guess" is that they will, however I've not tried the muffs in that application nor used them while exercising.

yes they work for this - I use them while making dinner and I haven't heard anyone ask if it was finished yet for months

Sorry, I just use it to protect my ear's from gun noise. I shoot mainly hand gun's! It works well for that! Haven't tried loud music!

Yes, and they are light and comfortable to wear, however, I do not think that they are intended for this type of activity and I suspect that you will not enjoy wearing them as they are obviously an over the ear design. You will be amazed at how much control they give you to either cancel noise or increase your hearing. I have no doubt they will protect your hearing, as to whether they are a fashion statement...in the eye of the beholder.

Very good noise canceling. You can still hear really loud sounds here and there if your music is soft enough. But a person would certainly need to raise their voice from their normal "indoor" voice in order to get your attention. If your music is loud enough, there's no chance you'll hear any outside noises really. Would not advise for office use...

The noise canceling feature isn't as good as I thought it'd be BUT it does block out the majority of it. As for if people can hear my music? Absolutely. By no means does this product stop others from hearing your music. I can wear it around my neck and turn it into a portable speaker. Then again, this may be different with other music genres. I listen to metal and funk mainly so I don't know how other genres compare. I'll leave it for you to decide, but I give this product a 9.5 out of 10.

I would have to say it eliminates most background noise. Of course there are some things that are loud nearby that get in the way of what/who you are listening to. Overall it does a good job of keeping out unwanted noise. Hope this helps.

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

Ha- yes, I know all about noisy fourth graders! :) Yes, I think it would work as long as you play around with the settings. It will detect the noise closest to it the best so keep that in mind.

If my husband has the stereo too loud in the next room I can still hear the bass tones. This machine reduces noise but doesn't block out noise. I live on a busy street and it greatly reduces street noises.

It works on vibration, so the sound you hear when the cymbal is struck will be amplified based on those vibrations. It will just make that clack louder unless digitally modified. If that is the sound you are looking for then sure, it should work fine as long as it stays clamped properly. Just make sure you clamp it someplace that will not interfere with the vibrations you are looking to amplify.

These muffs are designed to protect your ears from loud noises such as gunfire, riveting guns and other 'shock' noises. They allow you to hear normal conversation. They will Not eliminate loan music. However, if you are talking LOUD music, they will subdue the loudness and, protect your hearing. They are comfortable to wear and not overly heavy.I hope this helps you with your decision.

I tested this, and the music had to be really loud (old-school jungle at 120% volume loud) for someone next to me in a quiet room to report hearing anything. This is not, importantly, because of anything like "noise cancellation" (which messes with the signals themselves) but simply good design; you will have to turn the music off before you take them off your head in a library, because they do project some sound otherwise. Also, if you live in a city in which being annoying on public transport is considered unacceptable, please send brochures

This device works with vibration or shaking from earthquakes. I don't really know if music and bass would set it off. My guess is that it would set it off, because it is not a "smart" device that is set down into the earth. However, you could probably take the batteries out if it does and then put them back in when the bass / vibration / hitting of walls quiets down.

It's worth a try. I covered my living room wall with this to dampen neighbor's noise. It dampens the noise from outside by maybe 20-30 percent.

Maybe, I would try using speakers first. If there was not enough volume then try going through an amp, starting with the volume turned way down first. In a small setting, like a church or high school gym, this alone should do. Loud enough is load enough, but too loud will drive your audience away. Give it a try first. Good luck.

I use my plugs for swimming to cancel out the awful "muzik" played at the pool :-) I would think you would hear your alarm if set high enough.

You can move the Sound Slider to the "closed" position to block outside noise. Doing this will effectively reduce most outside noise.

Probably not. however, you can hang it around your neck so it may work. I use it in my classroom with 25 5th graders and I can hear it when I am within a few feet

It won't drown out a group of voices, and I suspect if volume is set too high, the speaker will distort sound. I do believe it would work for background music.
