It doesn't look like these cover the ear, so how good are they at reducing outside noise?

The short answer is yes. These headphones cover your ears and have excellent noise cancelling capabllities.Logan, please don't let the picture of any pair of headphones be what you measure their size by. In my experience pictures can be deceiving. Keep in mind when your buying name brand or professional headphones that they know the best size for a comfortable fit and how to achieve the best responce.

They cover the ears very well. And they are adjustable. When I have the music on or if I am watching something and its up..I can hear NOTHING

I am not sure if I would say these are noise reducing. I would say they are better a directing what you want to hear to you. They do cover most of your ears but they are not like the encompassing ones. They muffle some outside noise but once you're playing anything what you are playing drowns out outside noise.

Maybe it's because I have relatively small ears but they do a good job for me especially for the price I got them at.

I would say they are average at reducing outside noise. They do cover your ears, the seal would depend on the size/shape of your ears.

No, they will not reduce the sound enough. The foam earplugs will protect your ears and muffle the sound much better than these.

They are pretty good when using them. They aren't 100% noise canceling. But you will notice a difference compared to most headphones.

They are not noise cancelling, so if you are looking to eliminate plane background noise, these probably won't do it for you.On the other hand, if you want a portable (fold up set) that you can use to wear that are comfortable, and mask outside noise with your music, these are pretty good headphones.

They're great for listening to music, as for cancelling outside noise, no. The sound quality is good, but there's no noise cancelling.

They would only reduce outside noise minimally. Considering how loud fireworks are I would recommend noise reducing headphones.

Mark, they are pretty good at drowning out background noise. I love mine! They have a great sound as well & are very comfortable!

They block out a little bit of background noise. They are NOT noise canceling, in the sense that they do not electronically cancel out background noise. They just plug up your ears. I imagine they are less effective at this than earplugs, but they work a little bit.

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

I don't have a problem but the ear covers definitely fit better when I take my glasses off. I haven't noticed a difference in noise-cancelling quality with my glasses on vs. with them off.

I don't think they are considered noise cancelling but they do a good job of keeping out the noise. For the price point they do a pretty good job not perfect but better than average.

They aren't completely noise-canceling, but they are pretty good. Enough to drown out what I need them to drown out most of the time. :)

They are over-ear and do block out most ambient noise. If you're looking for something that lets you hear both music and your environment, these aren't it.

No. They don't really block out wind very well, so sound will get thru as well.

I think they're great. They muted out a lot of the noise. Comfortable to wear.

They are not advertised as noise cancelling head phones and do not have the noise cancelling feature. With that said it does seem that you are only able to hear negligible outside noise while wearing. As well there is minimal sound leak.

They are not as good as over the ear models, but still quite good. If you keep the volume very low, you hear surrounding noise, but at normal levels you won't hear much.
