Do these affect the sound at all?

They dont change the sound and are much more comfortable than the original pads. Also very easy to install.

They might sound different but not necessarily better. An amp might make them sound more open. It all varies between equipment. I can't live without my EQ settings, that would be one benefit of a amp.

Yes they do.They will vibrate your brain if you can stand it.Of course you could just turn volume or bass equalizer down.lol

I have not notice a decrease in audio. If anything it would be less than 10%

No, I have not received any complaint when I have used them and I run them at very high volume

I don't think so. The only adjustment that I have been able to make is to turn the sounds off altogether.

Almost none!! Maybe a 15% reduction. So, don't buy them for any noise reduction. They are worthless!!

Yes. To my ears they sound muffled but I can use the custom setting of the equalizer to brighten the sound. They are a bit big.

they dont seem to. I dont turn them up too high though, so I may not have encountered that issue because of that. The bass sounds good to me...and I listen to ska music.

Hey Theresa. These won't do anything to reduce noise. I'd advise you look for something else.

Hi Jobin - You know, I really don't use them much, so I really can't comment. I went back and see if they work, and they do, and there doesnt seem too much background noise. Hope that helps.

No they don't work like that. There is no audio input, thats not what they are meant for, they are for blocking out sounds on the range that would harm your ears.

I use these at the shooting range to suppress the sound at an indoor range. While shooting my instructor had to get right up next to me to say something for me to hear him. I can't remember if I heard the others shooting for I was concentration on my own shots. It is definitely going to deaden the sound for sure. Good luck studying!!!!

Yes. Yes. They don't "lower" noise too much, but they do mute the brightness of sound somewhat--I don't know that any type of ear plug would not do so. Yes.

No, it doesn't affect output volume, it changes only volume of signal, that you hear in your headphones. That's the point of this device)

I have mine in front of my washer and dryer with door to the room shut! So I would say they really don't deadened any sound.

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.
