How is this compare with 120K model in terms of blocking out external noises?

It's decent at blocking out noise, but if you are looking for noise canceling head/ear phones, this is not them. They are very comfortable for sleeping or studying as they don't hurt the ears like the others do.

The noise isolation of the Sony XBA-1 is as good as any ear plugs you get from the drug store. If there is music on the XBA, I can't hear the TV. It was adequate on a noisy train. So in a noisy office environment, I'd say you don't hear anything around you unless they yell. But if you have to be alert, then you might choose something else.

Well some noise is normal and that seems to be what you have going on. If your near a computer or router or any fluorescent lights you will get some EM interference. And that is what it sounds like in your video. You can buy a cheap noise gate and set the threshold to say -75 db and that will clean all that up.

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

Hi, The noise reduction is not bad. It is better than the foam muff types. You can still hear sounds in the area so if someone is calling me, I will hear it. This is one of the most practical headphones I have ever used. It is reliable and has a long cord so it is great for use on a computer or a TV. I like these so much, I bought a total of 7 sets.

It's not as loud as the older models. Depends on how sensitive your neighbors are. I hardly notice it and it is right outside a window, but the window is closed.

We used it as a pantry door, so we don't really know if it dampens the noise, but the operating system is really smooth. Hope this helps

You would have to have the sound volume at a painfully high level to you for the sound to be bothersome to anyone sitting next to you. I find that the ambient noise around my cube drowns out any of the sound leakage coming out of my SR850.

At low-medium it's almost silent. High is not too disruptive, turbo is loud enough it will interfere a bit.

The audio is better than the last flat screen I owned and no longer need external speakers, I do not hear well. Hope this helped.

i would use something that has an active noise canceling function (requires a battery to produce a noise canceling "counter sound wave"). MEEs will cut out ambient noise well - but not well enough for the high dBA from mowing - i think.

It's quiet. No noise that I could hear. The only issue I've had is that I sometimes get blacked out images

I have a two sets I use in my wife and I's helmets. The sound quality degrade's rapidly from wind noise past about 60 mph. Even when not moving , there is a lot of weird background noise. Both speakers on both sets have always produced sound, so I'm not sure what your problem is. I understand the latest version of the Uclear (300 I believe) is supposed to work very well. I have never listened to music or used the phone with mine. I would recommend the Sena SMH10 set for clear quality sound and great support.

I agree with the other two answers: I would choose one or the other. There's no real reason to use both of them. If one doesn't work for you, switch to the other. In any case, there shouldn't be any kind of system fan warning. Didn't happen to me on the 120mm, so I don't see why you'd get one. If you do, check the BIOS to see if you can find a way to turn off the warning. I don't know your BIOS, but I'd bet there's a fan control in there somewhere. Check that out.

The component HD is better, however, you can use them.. they just won't be heard only by you. those around you will hear it too.

I haven't noticed any extra noise. My computer is very quiet most of the time. Only every so often does it make a surging sound for a few seconds, and that's usually only when I'm doing something like rendering a big CG animation.

@ +12db you will hear some noise, but for live work it's acceptable> I would not use it for studio post production mix downs. Hope this was helpful.
