I am a runner and I was wondering how well these cancelled out sound.

They have decent sound (honestly, I think they sound very good), but they do not cancel ALL outside noise. With no music they block less noise than a set of soft foam earplugs. With music though, outside noise shouldn't be a problem at all.

These should work for you. I use them while I run and I'm able to hear, as long as I don't crank up the volume too loud.

I bought a set for my wife, she's a runner. She no longer uses the bose in-ear or the shure over the ear headphone...only these. So, I guess....yeah :).

Yes, they are great for running. The sound is perfect. My solitary complaint is that they are a bit too bulky for my ears to hold up. Otherwise they are great

When music is playing at reasonable volume, they're pretty good at blocking background noise, but not perfect. If you're just wearing them over your ears without input, the noise cancellation is more of a soft noise muffling than anything else. I wouldn't call them "noise-cancelling" so much as "reduces extraneous background noise so you can focus on what's playing".

I use them for running. They stay well but sound quality is not excellent. I use them for audiobooks

Hey Kevin, they are pretty good for running as I know this from experience. The ear cushion is soft, so it won't rub your ears roughly. Their only downfall, I think, when it comes to fitness is that they may make you ears sweat a little because of the material the cushion is made of. But I will deal with that part because of how soft the cushion is. Other than that, they are A1 in my book!!

They are better/louder than the iPhone earbuds in my opinion but not by much. I use these for running because the iPhone buds just fall out.

They are kind of bulky but may work for running... just speakers blow out very quickly and easily. I bought them for my son.

Really well. I tend to use them for running in, and if there is a call I have no problem hearing the caller, and generally they can hear me.

They are terrible in high noise areas. They are intended so that you hear ambient noise. I cannot hear well even when running along a busy road.

I wouldnt recommend them for running. The protective earshell, although very comfortable, would not do well against perspiration. Better keep them indoors. The sound quality is amazing though -especially considering the price- and I'd recommend them for listening to music at home.

I haven't used them in the gym but I do use them when I run, and there has been a few times cars have come up by me and I never heard them coming, and I have used them when the girlfriend is yelling at me, cant hear a word ahahahahaha.

No. Not noise isolating-cancelling. Fit is average; they work themselves out of (my) ears while running, but the hook feature prevents total falling-out.

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

I have found these to be tinny. So what you are hearing may be normal. I do not find them to simulate live music. Their greatest quality for me is that they have little to no wire noise when moving, compared to all of my other headphones ranging from Sony to Sennheiser and Bose (which are highly overrated as well).
