how good is the noise isolation?

As good as earbuds get without electronic noise cancellation. The trick is finding the right size tip.

I'm sorry, I didn't keep these because I felt the overall sound was not worth the price at the time. I can't comment at this point since it was a little better than some I had tried. I believe I kept the lady gaga heartbeats and am happy with those. None of this level ear buds are truly noise cancelling... some sound isolation, but not truly performance level if that's what you're looking for. It's probably safer for a walk around pair to have some awareness of surrounding noises.

The noise isolation should be more than enough for everyday normal use. But in loud working environments you may need to turn the volume up.

This is not a noise isolation headphone. This is an open back headphone, so others will hear what you are listening to. If you look at them, you will see 3 small vents. They did this for better sound and bass quality.

Typically Balanced armature earphones isolate very well. The Meelec 161p's are no exception. With the several tips included, using the triple flange, i can't hear a thing on the outside. I live in the city, and take several bus rides. Isolation is superb. Hope this helps

I have used it - the big difference is in the headsets. You need good noise canceling headsets.

Sound quality is quiet good, especially for a headset. You can get stand alone microphones with better quality but for a headset the microphone is quiet good.I don't get any background noise, NO scratching or hum. I use it quiet often for gaming and Skype calls, works perfectly. The "G-Keys" allow you to assign a push to talk or any sort of macro keys.Let me know if you have any other questions. Please give me feedback, thanks!

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.

You get plenty of earplugs... When you find the one suitable for you, noise cancellation is very good... But just buy, if you get them under 130 dollar, otherwise you get the same quality for less

They work great. I bring them to school everyday, they are very durable and have nice noise isolation. You can improve the noise isolation with better ear cups if you want, it is very easy and cheap to do.

I'm not sure how these handle with classical music, as it's not my taste, but these headphones do isolate much better than most over-ears. If you're looking for good isolation and sound quality, I would look at Audio-Technica's ATH-ANC7B noise cancelling headphones. I had the ANC7s (before the ANC7B replaced it) and they were PERFECT with isolation and had great sound quality.

I think the isolation to environmental noise is good for an in-ear headphones.

As long as you are not BLASTING something you'll be fine. There isn't much sound leakage but you hear outside noises a lot easier compared other sound proof headsets.

it's loud enough for me to use in the gym - they are not designed for isolation, I think, but so that you can hear your music and also your surroundings. If you are looking for loud sound with isolation, I suggest you try a different product

Yea they are very good..I have used them for years(the non leather ones) and never had a problem with external noise . Great product.

Well just today I used them on a flight and they do pretty good job at isolating engine noise. It doesnt give you complete silence but it gets the job done.

It's not a lot of noise. I use a headset for work and I can hear easily without having to turn it off.

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!

I would have to say it eliminates most background noise. Of course there are some things that are loud nearby that get in the way of what/who you are listening to. Overall it does a good job of keeping out unwanted noise. Hope this helps.
