How well do these block out the sound of fireworks?

Fireworks? Not a clue. But I can tell you they efficiently block out handgun fire from 9mm to .45 ACP. It's been a long time since I've personally lit a firework but I do know that firing a .45 round is loud enough to send a sharp pain in the base of my ear, and with these on it doesn't bother me at all.

If you are trying to silence the sound there's nothing that I know of that will do that. As far as dampening the sound of an explosion they do a wonderful job while allowing normal levels of sound through. I use mine at the shooting range and can hear normal sounds without the loud sounds of the firing blasting my ears.

I use them for range shooting and power tool use. They work well for those. I don't know how close you intend to be to the fireworks or how sensitive the wearer is to noise, but I can imagine they would do a fairly decent job muffling the sound.

Not to belittle this product by giving the assumption it only works from 9mm to .45 acp range, I'm sure it does well with all rounds, I just haven't tried them out with anything other than handguns and a 5.56. Great product, and if they're still low price, id go for them

For fireworks they should be just fine for fireworks. My wife uses them when we go to the shooting range, and she says they do a wonderful job.

Hi there! I used these at a NASCAR event and they were awesome, so I'm sure they would be great for blocking firework sound. ^_^

Well obviously it would depend on many factors. How close are you to the fireworks? These earmuffs do dampen the sound a bit, but just not very well. If you are very close to the fireworks, then I would say do not buy these and get a pair of $20 with 25+ decibal rating. If you are far away, maybe these will do? Personally I don't need earmuffs for fireworks, so maybe someone else can provide a better answer, as I bought these for shooting and they did not work out for my wife due to poor sound suppression.

I have only used them for shooting and they work well for that, they will defiantly cut down on the sound but aren't going to make it disappear.

My daughter has special needs and has problems dealing with loud sounds. We've used them at concerts, basketball games and fireworks. She is comfortable when she has them on.

Fireworks and gunfire are similar in decibel levels, from what I understand. When I'm at the range, these prevent the noise from being painful but it's still loud. They won't block out all the noise but will make it bearable.

no! do any block out ALL the noise of a gun? They reduce the noise to a comfortable level. For the money, they are excellent!

Not sure about those noises. The seem to block white noise and reduce loud music best. At a rock concert I could hear my wife talking to me clearly.

Don't think anything will "block" out loud music, but these plugs will definitely help. I think they are rated at 35 or 39 decibels, so anything louder than that will get through.

They are okay at blocking outside noises it depends on how loud the noise is.

Yes, considering they do not cover your entire ear they do block out a good amount of sound.

A lot of sound will be eliminated from wearing these headphones because these fit in the ears so well; if you need total silence, I would recommend Bose headphones, but if you are looking for a more alternate and cheaper solution than Bose, choose these, they will keep almost everything out, as long as you aren't around a lot of extremely loud things. I just used my leaf blower around the yard with these on and didn't have them going full blast to block out the sound (maybe a bit above halfway), that for me is good enough.

Look for something that it more Noise Canceling than this. These do not completely block sound.

The noise cancellation is great but does not block all noises. If you are around a loud area with children or a high traffic area you will still hear some noise but not a great amount.

These block out ambient noises extremely well. But, you can still hear people talking which to me, is a good thing. As far as annoying others... I don't think you'll have a problem with that. It, of course would depend on how loud you have them. When I am sitting next to my husband, I cannot hear them when he is listening to his music through them. I am fairly sensitive to that, especially when I'm listening to something else and I don't want to hear his music. Hope that helps.

They will block noise to an extent though but not as much as ear plugs or active noise canceling headphones. I use these while mowing the lawn and working the the shop to block noise while listening to music.

These weren't very good for blocking out noise during my cross-country flights - I still pull out my noise cancelling headphones for that. Not sure how much other people around you can hear - they don't seem to bother my wife if I watch a movie in bed with these on.

They have good sound and block a lot of the surrounding noise. Other than their bulk they would work fine.

They don't block out ALL noise, but they definitely block a lot of noise. They don't mute everything though

Even better, my girlfriend bought them to block out the noise of the kids and they do,these are the best for the money, I don't think anything will block out the noise of a gun completely,I bought them for tools saws, router ect.., work great-Jim

Depends on how loud the person is. They are pretty good with blocking sound. I have to yell for my son to hear me if he's wearing them. Normal talk is pretty hard to hear.

I would get noise reducing headphones. These are good headphones for listening but don't really block noise necessarily. We have firearm rated ear protection headphones for our daughter and fireworks. Hope this helps!
