Are the hesh 2 noise canceling; noise isolation or what. It doesn't say in the description

It's nose isolation just by the closed ear design. Works pretty well, just not specifically a feature (a small amount of outside sound still gets through)

Its not noise cancelling the way you think, there is just layers of filters that will filter out background noise. Like the foam piece around most microphones except even better. The mic is the highest quality you can buy on a headset and you wont need to worry about that at all.

No. You'd want over eat type, closed cup, headphones specified as noise isolation.

I got a pair of these around Christmas time... as far as I know they're the same as the ones that are more expensive. Mine does have the switch for noise cancelling.

Not noise canceling but they to me have pretty good noise isolation it all depends on what size eartip you use

The headphones have both passive and active noise cancellation. There is a switch on the headphones that allows you to turn the active noise cancellation on. However, the size, shape, and insulation of the earcups also provide a bit of passive, unpowered noise cancellation. The passive noise cancellation is passable at best; it'll cover up any low-to-medium volume background noise, but you can still hear some louder things. Hope that helps.

Klipsch refers to these as "Noise Isolating" due to the memory foam ear cups. They do not promote the product as being true noise cancelling headphones.

Yes the noise cancellation does work even if you are not listening to anything. You do need to wear the heradphones and have the Bose device switched on.

noise cancelling is not = to mute. You still hear but the external sound is greatly reduced & is MUCH lower.

They block out ambient noise well but are not noise cancelling. At best, you might consider these "noise isolating".

Isolating? Yes. Canceling? No. If you get a good fit, they block a lot of the ambient noise but as others have mentioned they do not block out everything. I've used them in airliners and they help. Not as good as the expensive noise canceling buds but they do help. JLab sells replacement silicone tips that have an additional flange which may improve the fit and thus the isolation.

Hi Memymine, this headset has a noise canceling microphone to help reduce background noise. Also there is an easy mute button on the earpiece

The other people who answered obviously know nothing about the product. It says on the Sennheiser website they have "up to 26 dB noise suppression". (http://en-us.sennheiser.com/earphones-high-end-hifi-stereo-passive-noise-reduction-ie-80)They have very, very good noise reduction. I can hardly hear anything other than whatever music I'm listening to or whatever game I'm playing with these in.

You can use them with noise cancelling turned off. Just like a normal headset.

No, they're not noise canceling headphones, they're isolation headphones. Noise-canceling headphones have built-in battery-powered circuitry that cancels noise through phase inversion. These headphones are designed to keep sound from bleeding out into a microphone while recording and to keep loud sounds, like drums, from bleeding in and interfering with what you are trying to listen to while recording. The closed back and over ear design give you a good seal. They will block a lot of noise, but not quite like the active circuitry in noise-canceling headphones.

There is passive noise reduction per the headphones padding around the ears but no active noise reduction.
