Will these be effective to prevent ears from vehicles honkng sound?

yes they should. they do not block sound, they reduce it to safe levels. It should,because it work as good as any regular ear muffs.

Yes, and if you work in traffic like I do they are better than regular ear protection because they they do not block sound, they reduce it to safe levels. That means the noise doesn't damage your hearing and - since you can hear the cars coming - that some texting driver doesn't damage you.

They will block out the majority of noise, but not all. But I don't know of any ear plugs that will block out 100% of the noise.

Yes, they would block out local conversations, but you probably would not want to wear them for that purpose since they're a little bulky and not really designed for that environment. They work best around noisy machinery such as lawn mowers, leaf blowers and similar devices. In an office environment, look for battery powered noise canceling headphones that are lightweight and comfortable -- be sure to try them on before purchasing as there are wide variations among different products!

They are very effective at removing steady background sounds, for example from aircraft engines as heard by passengers, or the air handlers and machinery noise in an office environment. They will muffle sudden sounds, but I do not think they would help much with the shock waves from gun shots since they are so fast and unpredictable.

I use the earplugs for blocking out stage noise. I play in a band. The earphones have two pairs of inserts. One set blocks out more noise than the other. I like them as they filter the sound and some of the music comes through. My opinion is, I think they would work for you. You should be able to hopefully hear a honking horn and sirens, if need be. I am happy with them. Good luck.

Yes, but they don't work like a pair of earplugs to cancel all noise. They are intended to cancel a continuous background noise like the drone of a jet engine or car engine and wind noise while riding in a car. They reduce ambient noise by several decibels. They will muffle the sound of nearby conversations down to a level where you can't understand the words.

Not really, they're not exactly noise canceling; on louder volumes, you can keep out noise

these headphones allow you to hear ambient noise as well as the music. they are safer in traffic areas because they keep the user connected to the sound around them. so they are not intended to drown out surrounding noise.

probably not much, i can hear car noises when i'm outside perfectly fine with the included foam sleeves if you buy the tri flange ones, those block really really well (but pretty uncomfortable for me), also the yellow foams are garbage, they don't block any sound

Help. Yes, but shut out the sound ... Probably better than wax, but they reduce noise , not eliminate it.

Yes. Also, they block out background noise well, so you may be able to hear well even at a low volume.

I am not a race fan, but seems to me that Nascar is already REALLY loud. These will help with hearing quiet background noise. Such as subtile wildlife noises on a quiet night. You may be looking for noise canceling headphones - that is NOT what these do. However the earphones with the electronic in the off position may help muffle the noise to some degree.

It does help block out a modest amount of noise, but it is not a solution for large noise issues. I hope this helps.

Sadly, I sold my bike about a month before I bought these, so I haven't tested them in that environment. :^( However, I think these would work fine, plus these are great for any loud environment where you still need to hear people talk. Also, these would be good if you use a device like ScalaRider or Chatterbox. Earasers do have another product called "Peace and Quiet" that seem to block more sound and may be better for highway speeds on a motorcycle, though.

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

Yes. I've used these on a overseas flight, and listening to media easily drowned out the engine noise. Haven't tried on a phone call, but I'm confident that they would hold their own.

I don't think they'd block out all sound but I think would be sufficient for most ranges. I shoot too and they certainly block out as much sound as my normal shooting muffs do. I don't use them because I normally shoot rifle and shotgun and the profile is too large and would get in the way of the gun stock. But if you're talking pistol, I would think they'd be just fine
