Does it conceal sound?

Look at the graph in the upper right in the link below. It is labeled "isolation." There is little noise isolation in the lower frequency range (bass), but very good noise isolation in the higher frequency ranges (midrange and treble). http://www.innerfidelity.com/images/Monoprice8323.pdf

Yes, the headphones are closed back so there is very little to no bleed through and they block out outside sounds pretty good as well.

They conceal sound so great!!!!! You can barely hear anything when you first put them on!

It doesn't block out all sound, but it does block out most of it. I think it's because of the padding, not any kind of advanced technology.

I believe that most sound is concealed. I purchased this item for my husband who really enjoys them. When he is wearing this headset, he doesn't hear me calling him even in the same room.

Frances, I wouldn't say that that they are noise can celling if thats what you are looking for, but since they completely incase my ear, I can't hear anything.

Thanks for the reply,Does it only mask other people's music if you have music on? Like Bradley I want mostly noise cancelation, not too much worried about music. Thanks again

If you mean noise around the room, not what you're listening to, then yes. It blocks out quite a bit of sound from around you.

No, not if you get a good fit with a good seal with the ear tips. If you turn your music way up someone may hear the smallest amount of noise, but it will not be loud enough to disturb them.

Honestly it depends on how close people are to you, the volume they are speaking at, and the volume you have your music set to. It does block out a good amount though.

Nope! There's a little flap that protects it when you're not using headphones ! I love mine and I gets lots of compliments on it!!!

Sure, with my headphones but it's a bit muffled through the fabric. It's always set on vibrate so if I can't hear it I will always feel it vibrate.

No. They provide a substantial reduction in the level of the noise, but you can still hear things muffled.

It is fairly loud... The tv could drown it out if it was turned up a bit. Totally worth it if you can cover up the noise.

No, it is open. Everything else is not covered either. Works well! I haven't noticed muffle sound either. Didn't apply screen cover, so I don't know about that. Great, though!

it will definitely muffle and reduce the transmission of sound, but not completely. also it's not really meant for that purpose, it's primarily meant to go inside the walls

yes. It blocks the drum sounds so they don't need their music turned up too much.

Not 100%. But it depends on the distance and noise level. I would say 80% of the noise is blocked. It is worth the price.

Speaking from personal experience, the answer is no. I've played music as loud as the volume will go, and it did not block out loud talkers.

No it does NOT, however it blocks 80% of the external sound very well. (100% if you crank it up like I do.)

No, from my experience it will turn down all sounds that are above your volume setting.I am still deciding if the item works that well.

No. If your referring to external noise, there is very little, if any noise reduction. The ear pieces have a foam cover that does little to keep noise out. Hope this helps.
