Would these block the bass from a neighbor's speakers? Would they block the bass from a tractor going back and forth in the field?

It is a great product, but you should remember that it is $50 ear plugs. With the music on, it does quite great job on blocking noises and I am very satisfied, but I'm not sure about the tractor. I mean, it's a tractor. Anyways, there are two boys playing piano and chasing a dog inside of my house, and I wanted to punch their face every single time. However, it seems like I'm mentally stable now after purchasing this ear plugs. I can't tell if this product will block the noise from the tractor, but I will say it worth to try.

They will block out the majority of noise, but not all. But I don't know of any ear plugs that will block out 100% of the noise.

If they fit you well, they may help. They do not fit my ear canals well, so I notice minimal noise reduction. My husband uses them on the tractor and says they work well for him.

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.

No but they may reduce the sound enough for you to concentrate. They do not block out the sound completely.

Based on my limited use I doubt they will block loud or even moderate music. That's why I immediately returned them for a refund.

Since they don't cover the entire ear to cancel outside sounds, the bass may seem less intense than those that engulf the whole ear. But, the wide range and clarity of sounds is very good and worth the modest price tag from Amazon.The main issue is what your outside noise level is like. That will determine whether they're right for you. I use them only at home where I can control ambient noise. For a gym environment, I would use a noise cancellation type of headset. Good question. Would appreciate other comments on what I think.

They don't cancel out noise but they can get loud enough to overpower the outside noise

These are not noise cancelling, they are noise isolating with the rubber piece that goes in you ear acts like ear plugs. That being said I have used these on my lawn tractor that is pretty loud and they work great I can barely hear the mower even with the music off. You will have no problem hearing the music

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.

The seem to be just normal earmuffs blocking 82db and above when there are no batteries but I can not say this for sure because I have not field tested them without the batteries. My guess is that they work the same when there are no batteries or if they are dead, as they do when the volume is turned down while they are on; they cut out 82db and above without amplifying sounds below that range...

They block out ambient noise well but are not noise cancelling. At best, you might consider these "noise isolating".

They are monitoring headphones for recording so their purpose really is not to block out sound. They provide true sound without too much bass. Also these are not closed earphones meaning they will not cup your ears kinda like the walkman headphones from the 90's that sit on your ears so Im pretty sure they will leak out the sound. I dont use them outside the house so I cannot vouch for how good these would be for commuters. If you dont record or play an instrument I would recommend you go for audio headphones instead of monitoring ones because you can certainly find some really awesome ones in the same price range. I hope this helps They are monitoring headphones for recording so their purpose really is not to block out sound. They provide true sound without too much bass.

These are not noice cancelling. Additionally I am not sure even the noice cancelling one from branded names ( Bose, Sennheiser) can block sound from lawn mower.f you have a chance to try you can from numerous choices Ensure you can return of they do not serve your purpose. trust thius helps

They'll block out a lot of noise, however if you're in an abnormally loud vehicle or other situation where there's a consistent droning noise you may want to look for active noise canceling headphones. If the sound you're trying to filter out is not loud and consistent active noise canceling will be useless. These headphones do _not_ feature active noise canceling but are closed back and will block out a lot of sound, such as people talking, TV in the room etc.

No, they are what is called "noise isolating" which means they are similar to wearing ear plugs. So when the music's playing that's all you hear and if you wear them while not listening to music, outside sounds will be slightly to moderately muffled, depending on how well they fit into one's ear canal. PS: ear canal to bud fit is key to achieve proper bass and overall performance from these type of earbuds.

NIKKI, these will help limit the bass from bouncing around your unit but it won't keep the sound out of your unit. For that, you need some serious insulation in the ceiling or walls you share. To really limit how much bass you hear from an adjoining unit is very hard without spending a lot of $$$ , as the low frequencies cause vibration in the structural framing, which tends to amplify the bass vibrations. That's why you also feel the bass in your floor and walls, not just hear it.Insulation will help but it won't eliminate it. Might be cheaper to buy noise canceling headphones or pay for music lessons so the quality of the bass playing improves! Reminds me of "Neighbors" by the Rolling Stones! Good luck!
