will these reduce outside noise without the nc turned on

No, not really. If they have a good fit in the ear canal, there is some noise reduction but I would not say it is significant. Make sure to know that the NC does not cancel out talking "noise", it does its best work canceling out lower frequencies (such as on an airplane).

These may not keep out the lawn mower noise as these are not designed for noise cancelling. If you are going to use them outdoors you may avoid these as any moisture from weather or sweat will damage the wires pretty fast.

No! Require too much power and are "semi-open" meaning they will leak sound to those around you.

As "Amazon Customer" noted, they don't cancel noise, but they do block it quite well. As long as you have them inserted properly and are using correctly sized tips, they will absolutely make the engine noise less intrusive.

Elisa, they do work without any music playing but you do hear a not more of the surrounding noise. The more expensive models I have tried do a little better job without music. But not considerably better.

No but they will help soften the sound tremendously. I have every inch of my walls covered but you can still hear the sound on the other side of the wall. You can definitely hear the difference with them on the walls though.

They probably reduce about 95% of the noise around you when fitted correctly. I definitely wouldn't run near traffic in them.

No, but they are in ear headphones so that helps reduce outside noise if you have a good fit.True noise cancelling headphones are a lot more expensive than these.

Almost none!! Maybe a 15% reduction. So, don't buy them for any noise reduction. They are worthless!!

Yes they will . They are noisy so you will be taking them off when not needed

No. It had minimal noise reduction. Try a additional or larger gauge ground wires. Good Luck

not likely. Some work to reduce or block certain types of noise. Such as airplane engine noise, but not loud music.

Hi Jobin - You know, I really don't use them much, so I really can't comment. I went back and see if they work, and they do, and there doesnt seem too much background noise. Hope that helps.

Yes. The noise reduction is very good. You can drown out the outside without having to shatter your eardrums.

I bought a pair for my 2014 Cr-v and didn't notice any change as far as wind noise. I leave them on the vehicle.

It will depend on the volume level. They are not noise cancelling but do keep out some of the ambient noise. Stay alert and stay safe.
