How well do they isolate noise? Can you hear people talking around you?

If you get a good seal, then they have good isolation. Comes with three different sized tips, so you should be able to get a good fit. I'd say they have really good isolation.

decent noise cancelling. if you have music playing you wont hear much else.

They isolate well. Even on my MP3 player's lowest volume setting, I have to pull them out to hear what anyone is saying.

I'm in high school & people are obnoxiously loud and I never hear them when I'm playing music with these.

They're pretty good at isolating noise. People around you will have to yell & even then sometimes you probably won't hear them.

They isolate sound pretty well, and pretty soon I will be getting replacement ear pads from beyerdynamic, which are said to feel better, and provide a bit better sound isolation. I will let you know more when I get them.

It wont completely block out outside noise, i can usually hear people talking still but depending on the volume i'm using it may be indistinct. i work at a bakery where it is very loud all night long and i can usually hear it pretty well and can block out the annoying people i work with pretty well, but not entirely. Unless you turn it up super loud, your likely to still hear some voices. As for others hearing what your listening too, unless you turn it up really loud i don't think they will be able to.

No. I use them at the office because of the number of computers running near me, with noisy fans etc. I can hear other people perfectly well when they talk. The headphones analyse the noise around them then generate anti-noise to cancel it out, but it's not perfect ( which is deliberate ), there's a delay in the analysis. Therefore something constant like a fan whirrin will be cancelled out almost perfectly, but a continually changing source like a human voice speaking will sound slightly different to normal, but be perfectly intelligible / clear because the headphones are only cancelling out what they heard a fraction of a second before that, so it never catches up. If they change their conversation from speech to a consistant hum then that'd be cancelled. Hope I'm making myself clear.

Yes, they would suppress voices and office noise. If people speak to you when you have them on, you have to remove them to hear what they are saying.

The noise cancellation is not the best but not the worse out there. It does depend on the amount of volume you have on if its at the max then people will hear near you. At medium to low volume then no one will hear what you are hearing. Conclusion is I would recommend this.

I did it quite a bit. They work well but they are only ok at noise isolation so you will get some background noise.

NO! They cut down on ambient noise but a loud item such as a chain saw or lawn mower is out of the question!If I pay attention I can hear what my wife is trying to tell me, while I have them on

They Do A Very Good Job Of Blocking The Noise Surrounding You. I Don't Hear The Noises Around Me, So When Someone Talks To Me I Take One Of The Earbuds Out Of My Ear. I Hope This Helps.

Depends on how many Decibels you'll be dealing with. If there's a constant bombardment of noise, the microphones will never get a "break" to allow a normal conversation. High decibels will drown out low sounds.

No headphones truly cancel out people talking, if you have a good sense of hearing. But, when I have my mp3 player going, I can't hear what my wife is trying to say to me - at all!

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

They will not "silence" voices. You can still carry on conversations with someone close to you. Wearing them though it would be very easy to tune the world out. Hope that helps.

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!

If you are waering them no, they can´t. If you are not wearing them and they are really close to you they might hear it.

They reduce some of the background noise but not all of it. They are best at reducing regular noises like the hum from air conditioning or air-plane noise. I got them to try and reduce noise from people talking in my office but it didn't really help with that.

No they will not, these headphones really are great in that aspect. The noise isolation is incredible. I have had multiple occasions where people have been trying to talk to me while I was using them, and I had no idea anyone was trying to talk to me. They told me they couldn't hear the music at all, but it was loud enough for me to not be able to tell anyone was talking to me.
