Hows the isolation? I'm sold on the sound from reviews

I guess you mean the sound isolation, it doesn't has noise cancelling but the soft cushions are covering your ears so well that it isolate the external noise very well. If you play in a club, I personally like to hear the music playing as well. The 3.5 Watt is also phenomenal, it so loud and clean that it makes it a lot easier to mix. I haven't found a better set of headphones so far and I had a few :-) . I have always looked around to get the best, the sound is just so real. You won't regret it for a moment. And did I mention that they are ultra light and have a massive ridged feel.

when its up on max, people next to you can hear ithowever you cannot hear people well with it on, even with no music playing, so yes isolation is good for you, not for others, lol

Actually, I've found them quite good out of the Apple system and can probably compete with the Beats i have at home, they sound amazing in my computer and home system as well.. good luck with them.

Had the pleasure of owning both. The SE535's are very good and I while I expected the SE846's to be better then the 535's, I was doubtful that they would be good enough for me to spend the extra $'s. Wrong. The 846's are a totally different immersive music experience and the difference is both in clarity (sounds that you can't discern with most other headphones) and the bass, that is clear and not overbearing. My wife won't allow me to wear them in the house (sound isolation is immense) but I seek out time to listen to them as they are a treat, every time!

The bass is really good in my experience. I listen to mainly EDM and rap, and do some gaming as well, and these have proved to be stellar for all 3. Also works wonderfully for movies and tv.

They do isolate very well, but, of course, if you prefer the best in isolation, then get BOZE "active isolation", they are GREAT. The Shure are very very fine for listening and do fit around the ear comfortably and do isolate pretty well.

I rarely use these headphones with an eq as I usually take them when traveling. The highs are clean and not rash. The bass is usually pretty balanced. I have never felt like I needed an eq to improve the sound. They have really nice isolation, especially for an on-ear design. They are extremely comfortable; there seems to be some sort of memory foam in the pads. I have worn these on many international flights, sometimes not removing them for over 5 hours at a time without any issues. They are quite light and fold into a nice size. The case is solid too. If you don't mind dropping the coin, they are some really good headphones that travel well. I rarely use these headphones with an eq as I usually take them when traveling.

Sounds great to me. However, I wear hearing aids and I may not be your best source for a review

The sound on mine is great. In fact, I have nothing to complain about with this system.

Isolation really depends on which set of buds you use. I'm pretty sure if you experiment with the foam colored buds it comes with you should be good. Source: NYC trains + traffic

Hi Juan, yes I was pleasantly surprised and it sounds amazing! I hope this helps. Jules

I haven't gotten to try a lot of the more expensive headsets. I really enjoy it. Music sounds particularly rich and properly mastered music sounds like all the instruments are playing individually and clearly.

In my humble opinion the noise isolation feature of my V_Moda crossfade's are far superior than the Bose QC series headphones. One of my co-workers has the Bose QC-25's I tried them and he tried mine he agreed with me as well!

The T51p is pretty true to sound. If a song has deep bass it is produced with good impact without distortion or bloat. When I first got them I didn't like the way they sounded but after about 48 hours of continuous burn in, I love the way they sound. You can hear all the subtle details in the music and everything is crystal clear. It's one of the best portable headphones I own.

If you want noise isolation, look into sennheiser 280. They were too boomy for my tastes, and squeezed your brains out of your head.

The two answers here are right. I don't know for sure about the DTS sound quality but the sound quality of the headphones, when being used through the controller as instructed, sound very good. I played Alien: Isolation yesterday using these headphones so I wouldn't scare anyone out of their sleep and it was completely immersive. Sound detail was amazing, locations of foes and friend were nearly spot on (it is 2.0 after all), and the music soundtrack was crystal clear. Basically, it made it easier to scare the crap out of me. :) They're worth every penny. Another website has these for $49.99.

I'm really satisfied with the noise isolation, even though these don't have any switch to enable it. I think they isolate about 70% - 80% of external noise by themselves. Hope this helps!

I have not listen to Bose (?QC15), but very happy with ANC9.Definitely it's worth the money
