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.

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.

I'm not sure if noise isolation is the same as hearing protection, but I do use them when operating my riding lawnmower and my gas chainsaw, and that sound is minimized to where I can hear and enjoy music from my ipod. When the music is not playing the sound is lessened so much that many times I have to pull out 1 plug so I can tell when the chainsaw/mower starts so I can adjust the choke to complete the start.

They don't actively cancel noise but they a pretty good job of isolating. And if somebody can here the sound coming from them, you are probably going deaf from the volume.

No, it's super quiet. No one would know what you were doing. The only noise it makes is a soft suction noise, but only you and maybe the person next to you would be able to hear it.

It helps, not total blockage, I have it coming from my utility room to the kitchen it softens the noise. better than nothing. I wish it were made better

No, it. Really blocks out background sounds and fits tight over ear so no one heard what you are listening too.

Yes it is, however I don't use it as much because it picks up too much of background noise.

I'm not so sure about containing sound. It breaks up a room well, but I don't think it would be what you might consider an incredible sound barrier.

Not at all, it's almost completely silent... You'll just hear a slight hissing with this one

Very subjective, but I'd say it's closer to the "virtually silent" end rather than "really noisy."It's not loud at all.

I have not used mine a lot but so far I have not noticed any noise. I have used it for GarageBand sessions and have not picked up any noise in the recordings.

In my opinion, yes, it is relatively quiet. At least not as noisy as some others i have used.

I don't think it is very quiet, making a sort of chugging/humming sound. I'm noise sensitive, so it would bother me if someone was near me while they were using it. If you were in another room, I don't think it could be heard, however.

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

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

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.
