Would anyone recommend this for mowing the lawn (riding lawn mower)? Requirements: Good noise isolation, short cord (no snagging with tree branches)?

No I use mine while mowing and have to turn up loud to hear at all and can still be hard to hear

While not good on noise isolation it definately does not snag. I use mine while biking and it lets me hear the traffic.

I haven't had any problems when there is a fair amount of wind noise. My advice is to ensure that you have the right sized buds so it can go deep in your ear canal to block out outside noise. It's an excellent product.

Very "quiet" for it's size. NOT as noisy or loud as a Briggs & Stratton push or riding lawn mower. It is governed at a constant speed (noise level & pitch). I cannot hear mine (8,000 watts) in the house. I can hear it if I stand in the enclosed porch (which it is just outside of). Standing right in front of the exhaust you can carry-on a "normal" coversation. I would compare the noise level to that of my step-father's honda riding mower (very quiet mower). We are extreamly happy with this unit. No complaint what-so-ever. Installation is a snap, very basic and easy (using the transfer switch reccomended). Very "quiet" for it's size.

They do not cancel out any noise in a technical sense, as they are not noise cancelling headphones. They are for hearing protection and greatly diminish all ambient noise. I don't recall by how many dB, but it is significant. They are great for listening to music while mowing the lawn. In order to hear someone talking, you will likely need to look at them, listen carefully, and not have any music playing. Of course, everyone's ears are different, so your mileage may vary.

If you want to stop the noise, get a pair of over the head sound blockers. I don't have the name right in front of me, however, search Amazon for them. I use a pair when mowing the grass and it reduces the noise tremendously. I can put them on and not hear the heat pump operating from about 25 feet away. These are best for music or concerts where you want to hear the music, but not be blasted away and have ringing in the ears.

I would think these would help. I use them when I am mowing with my garden tractor and it is very quiet.

I've never used it while mowing the lawn but it will probably most likely reduce it. I use it on airplanes and it reduces airplane engine noise quite a bit. I've also used it in my bedroom and it has reduced the noise from my box fan and window air conditioner. You will probably still hear the lawnmower but it will definitely cut down on the noise considerably.

Not close to house unless you like to listen to a lawn mower running.. would be OK if only run once in awhile.

Interesting question! I can't say for sure. I can't speak for the ear plugs but I would think that together they should block or drown out the sound of a loud dog. The headphones themselves reduce the sound of lawn equipment to a low muffled rumble.

No cord noise.my experience with them has been great. They seem to be pretty sturdy . My only issue is the end where the bud connect to the cord split.

I use the small winder for those, and it's worked so far. Sometimes they get caught, and it looks like the inline volume part has the cord bent pretty sharply away from it at times, but so far it's just been an idle worry and hasn't caused any functional problems. If my earbuds stop working from being wound too right this way, I'll definitely post about it here!

I use it in the shop for noisy grinding, and for lawn mowing. Very happy with the loud noise suppression. I don't have to lift an ear muff or fiddle with the volume control for either use. The antenna seems robust, but I'd be concerned in the close confines of the stadium. The tuner "holds" the radio station well; I had problems with the "no-antenna" Radio Shack model this replaced. For the loud game, I suspect ear plugs would be my choice -cheap, easy to remove, less hassle.

These ear buds isolate outside sound extremely well, therefore you can listen at lower volumes and still hear all of your music. I even use mine like earplugs while mowing the lawn.

I don't know the db rating but I do know that the sounds of the large Kuboda tractor and 5" wide bush hog mower are very low when I'm wearing the headphones. I have to check to be sure the mower is actually running. Hope this helps. The sound suppression earphones have definitely helped me.

The Speaker works well in most noise conditions. It is possible if the street noise is loud enough you might have a slight Problem hearing it clearly. So unless there is a lawn mower going close by you should be fine.

It works fine. I have small lawn. You have to be careful of the cord. Cuts great.

I wear mine every time I mow my yard. They are very effective and I forget they are in. Great ear plugs and well worth the price.
