I bought my QC-2 headphones 10 years ago and they don't block the noise very well anymore. Will these solve that problem?

I would think so for the price it is worth a try...I don't hear any difference with the original bose cushions

If the speakers or electronics in your QC2s are worn out, then new earpads won't improve the sound. If your current earpads don't seal around your ears anymore, then new earpads might help improve the sound.

I did not notice a difference in the quality of noise blockage with the new earpads.

Hi Dan... I just had the opportunity to use my headphones and found that they do NOT block the sound as much as I would like. I also noticed there's been a price INCREASE of $9 since I purchased my set! Hope this helps....

Look for something that it more Noise Canceling than this. These do not completely block sound.

Def clears out the outside noise. But everyone would hear what you're listening to at the same time. They're more for studio headphones. Try SOL republic.

There is a much smaller sensation of pressure with the QC20's than with the QC15's. It also helps if you turn on the noise cancelling before inserting the ear buds.

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.

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

I would get noise cancelling headphones for that. These do block out noise but I don't know that it's enough.

They do an okay job on blocking sound but remember they are designed to adjust for air pressure first. If you want full sound blockage then get a true ear plug. Or better yet the BOSE noise canceling headphones for $300. They are AMAZING.

I really like my headphones, but honestly believe that a good set of earplugs would work better. They will work without music playing. I sometimes do this on a plane. They do an excellent job of blanking out the engine drone but I can still hear people talking (albeit at a much reduced volume)

No, the Flents Quiet Please Foam Ear plugs will not block out all the noise but they will do a better job and any other ear plug on the market that I know about. They will give reduce the noise significantly so you can tune it out. The only thing better would be a headset noise reducer over both ears- that would do the job

I purchased the ear pads for the QC15. They are made by a third party vendor. They are difficult to install, do not cancel noise like the original pads, and are somewhat comfortable, but again, not as good as the original pads. You should spend the extra bucks to get the Bose pads if they still make them.

Not at all. These are great protective headphones. If you have that problem you should get a replacement. These are the best electronic headphones I've used and should afford excellent hearing protection. Try them turned off. If you hear loud shots then maybe they arent fitting you correctly or there is a defect causing a sound leak.

I would recommend purchasing headphones which use noise cancelling technology for that purpose. I use Bose and have been very happy. Koss doesn't cancel noise, at best blocks some of it. They are quite sturdy so I guess they block slightly more than an average.

i would think they'd do the trick for you. they don't block out everything, but definitely take the "hard edges" off sound. i work in a very noisy office, and since using these, nobody is in danger of getting smacked anymore <grin>

I have the same issue. The noise cancellation on this headphone is substantially inferior to the Sennheiser PXC 250 and the QuietComfort 15--both of which I've owned and used for years. There is virtually no difference in noise reduction between "Normal" and "Bypass" modes, and Talk Through introduces more noise than is present without the phones. I just cannot accept that Sennheiser would create such a poor product; certainly my set must be defective.

I recently bought the Audio-Technica ATH-ANC7 headphones to block thumping and loud footsteps from my neighbor upstairs. Unfortunately, these muffle rather than block such sounds when no music is going through them. When I put on classical or ambient music, the loud parts block the thumping but I can still hear it when the music is quiet. So, these aren't a perfect solution. I suspect most noise-canceling headphones are intended to block constant low-frequency sounds rather than in-and-out random noises. Good luck to all of you dealing with noisy neighbors.

I put them on and had my husband speak quietly to me. Heard him fine. So, no noise blocking. Ear plugs will probably be your best bet.
