do they isolate the noise around?

They do not. Ambient noise, like voices, are not blocked at all. Even with music on loud you can still hear voices. Recommend Koss ur/29 as a much better low cost option - they are passive but much better than these.

As far as "noise cancelling" goes, it barely does the job. Better to spend more and purchase the Bose headsets instead. That's what I plan to do.

When the noise cancelling feature is switched on with the music playing, the noise around you is isolated as near as h approaches zero in a differential equation.I feel at complete peace as if I am transported to a different plane.In my opinion, these headphones are not bulky at all they totally encapsulate a persons ears comfortably.

They muffled some of the sounds but not enough of the higher range sounds i.e. the human voice. I was not satisfied with them. I'd look for better quality next time.

No they don't isolate noise even when the noise canceling switch is on. I returned them for something else.

I use them on the plane and they do a pretty good job nothing can eliminate all noise but they do make it easier to read or hear your music or movie than not using them.

Well, they're not exactly $400 Sennheiser noise cancelling headphones, but, for $25 they do a really good job! I use them for all of my filming which allows me to hear my audio but also allows me to hear enough outside noise to keep me from getting killed!

No. They don't really block out wind very well, so sound will get thru as well.

NO! They cut down on ambient noise but a loud item such as a chain saw or lawn mower is out of the question!If I pay attention I can hear what my wife is trying to tell me, while I have them on

Sure. These are essentially earplugs with built-in headphones. If you don't listen to anything, they still block noise effectively.

No, not electonically. Only by the nature of their being over the ear which muffles some outside noise.

It definitely lessens them, but I doubt anything practical will completely block low deep noises, since these tend to pass through almost any barrier. Regardless, this is the best sound machine that I know of. The company also provides excellent service - twice sending me a new one when one of the two I recently bought had a problem. I've also bought several other models from them over the last 20 years or so for a variety of situations.

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!

They're pretty good at isolating noise. People around you will have to yell & even then sometimes you probably won't hear them.

The headphones have noise cancellation, but all that does is block out outside/ambient sound. So while they prevent outside noise from getting in, they don't stop noise from getting out. From my experience though, even when turned up loudly, it was not able to be heard by others.

Not sure I understand what you mean by noise isolating. They do not prevent you from hearing ambient sounds. You can hear people talking to you, etc. I haven't used them in my car enough to know if you can hear emergency sirens, but I expect you can.

No, it. Really blocks out background sounds and fits tight over ear so no one heard what you are listening too.

They reduce some of the background noise but not all of it. They are best at reducing regular noises like the hum from air conditioning or air-plane noise. I got them to try and reduce noise from people talking in my office but it didn't really help with that.

No but they may reduce the sound enough for you to concentrate. They do not block out the sound completely.

Noise not too bad, but definitely plenty of noise for privacy, they won't be hearing anything..:)

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

Yes. Shaped like an aircraft wing. They are virtually noise free on their own.
