How good is the noise cancellation feature? Can people around you hear what you are listening to?

The noise cancellation is not the best but not the worse out there. It does depend on the amount of volume you have on if its at the max then people will hear near you. At medium to low volume then no one will hear what you are hearing. Conclusion is I would recommend this.

It depends: with usual music levels, people usually can't hear what's playing, but with maximum sound, there's a possibility that people can hear. So they work decently for internal cancellation, not as good of a quality as higher standard headset. Externally, sound can escape, depending on the volume levels.

The noise canceling feature isn't as good as I thought it'd be BUT it does block out the majority of it. As for if people can hear my music? Absolutely. By no means does this product stop others from hearing your music. I can wear it around my neck and turn it into a portable speaker. Then again, this may be different with other music genres. I listen to metal and funk mainly so I don't know how other genres compare. I'll leave it for you to decide, but I give this product a 9.5 out of 10.

When I wear my hair down the noise is overwhelmingly loud. They can hear if the volume is jacked all the way up. Otherwise they have been heaven sent considering I'm on the phone all day. :)

The sound isolation is pretty great. Nobody can ever hear what I'm listening to, and at mid to higher volumes I can't hear anything around me. Once you turn the volume down pretty low, you can hear outside noise, but for the most part they cancel noise ridiculously well for the price. Comparable to headphones that cost twice as much and more.

They are good for noise cancellation of regular conversation. I use them at work and can't hear the other workers. I work in an open call center type of setup.

It is noise canceling. If you're on the subway platform you're still going to hear the train cause well it's really loud, but inside the train or any other setting you won't hear anything. As for bass, I'd say pretty good for my taste.

You probably won't be able to hear anyone call your name, even at low volume, these speakers are almost 100% noise canceling! :)

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.

You mean the sound of people listening to music? I must say that although mine broke too quickly, they did an excellent job of cancelling out noises. I mainly wore them on the PT (train and bus, and walking downtown) on my commute to and from work.

It does a pretty good job at noise canceling without any music or sound. I'm not sure how it compares to others though... I would say yes.

There is no noise canceling with this one, but the way the ear cup was made was to minimize the sorrounding noise, but not to the point that you could no longer hear the traffic noise around you, such as automobile horn which is good for safety. But for someone is talking sitting next to you, you really can't hear them at all. Sound canceling or Noise canceling have some unfavorable effect on music sound they said, so i rather don't have them on my headphones.

Yes, you will still someone talking if they are next to you. Noise canceling headphones would be your best solution.

Hi Judith, if your question is about if people around you will hear the music playing on the headphones, in connection with the Noise Canceling feature, then yes they will be heard, specially if the volume is high. -Vincent

They don't completely cancel out all the noise. If you want a cheap option, it's good. But if you want better noise cancellation, I'd go with a higher end headphone. I have to turn noise cancelling on plus play music for it to drown out any sounds around me.

Someone sitting right next to you will be able to hear it a little bit if you have it cranked way up, but overall they contain sound well. The batteries last a long time. I got about 30 or more hours out of mine and use with noise canceling on most of time.

haven't tried that yet, but while working out, and it gets pretty noisy, I can't here the other machines while I'm listening, so I'd rate them about an 8 on noise cancelling. I'm thinking they would do just fine.

hmm, well I can tell you they block out noise very well, but I've never asked anyone if they can hear my music when the headphones are on. No one has ever told me that they are too loud or annoying. If you keep the volume level in the middle, then you will be fine, but if you blast it (prob not good for ears anyways), then I would think someone sitting next to you may be able to hear it. Hope that helps.

Great question. When I use it background noise is virtually gone. Unless you have the radio or tv turned all the up they are good. Also if there are people in the background taking you don't hear them either. I hope this is helpful.

You bet. The noise cancelling feature works all by itself, without plugging it into anything. It certainly does not drown everything out but it makes a difference!
