Is 'noise isolation' the same as 'Hearing Protection rated at 25' that you get from hearing protection products such as safety headphone or ear plugs?

I have Etymotic ear plugs for use at concerts and they fit/sound the same with no music playing but I'm unsure of the measurement you're using.

I'm not sure if noise isolation is the same as hearing protection, but I do use them when operating my riding lawnmower and my gas chainsaw, and that sound is minimized to where I can hear and enjoy music from my ipod. When the music is not playing the sound is lessened so much that many times I have to pull out 1 plug so I can tell when the chainsaw/mower starts so I can adjust the choke to complete the start.

Very similar. I wear while riding motorcycle. Most wind noise is gone, I don't have to turn up music loud to hear well, that way I'm not oblivious to traffic

Noise isolation only keeps background noise from ruining the sound of your music.

The noise isolation is good actually, it's on par with an over the ear headphone. Compared to over the ear headphones these aren't as comfy but it it could vary from ear shapes. The head band is extremely comfy the only place iv'e felt some pressure would be from the cups but i do wear them for hours and i usually keep the fit snug.

No hearing protection, can block out all the sound of a gun. I am also a Safety Director of a manufacturing site, so I know about hearing protection. That said, if you are wanting the maximum noise suppression, look for ear muffs with the highest NRR rating. You can also wear ear plugs with ear muffs for even more protection. I have done thus at Drag races. Works well.

If you want to ensure that everything around you is muffled, these will do the job'; the closed-back design will somewhat mute the surrounding sounds, especially when your music is playing. If you're looking for headphones which will let your officemates' voices through more clearly, you probably want an open-back design (I believe the RS-180s are open-back). And if on the other hand you want full-on noise cancellation, the RS-160 isn't a noise-cancelling headphone.You'll want to take them off every once in a while; keeping your ears inside of a closed headphone for hours on end can't be good for you...

I cannot answer your question. I use the hearing protectors when I cut the lawn. I have a riding mower and used to use disposable ear plugs. When using the Husqvarna headset my ears don't ring like they used to after cutting grass.

The the HF-5 work very well isolating this type of noise. A little bit of extra volume might be required but not a lot. If you couple them with ear muff protection you get even better results. Just make sure you clip the cord down otherwise you get micro phonic noise from the cord.

The other people who answered obviously know nothing about the product. It says on the Sennheiser website they have "up to 26 dB noise suppression". (http://en-us.sennheiser.com/earphones-high-end-hifi-stereo-passive-noise-reduction-ie-80)They have very, very good noise reduction. I can hardly hear anything other than whatever music I'm listening to or whatever game I'm playing with these in.

85 db compares to busy street noise, or a vacuum cleaner. These headphones in NO WAY come close to being able to block that level of noise with it's so called noise cancellation effect. It can only mask outside noise of that intensity by making it's own noise, that is, by serving in a headphone capacity and playing music or other such input. Noise "cancellation" is a grossly misleading appelation when applied to these headphones. They DON'T block noise to any appreciable extent--not like ear plugs or shooter's headphones do/would... which is what I suggest you need if you're looking to protect your ears, not blow more noise into them.

Klipsch refers to these as "Noise Isolating" due to the memory foam ear cups. They do not promote the product as being true noise cancelling headphones.

Yes, from 1 to 10, 10 being completely noise free. These headphones are an 8. I consider these very effective. Not completely quiet but second best. Very effective

Noise isolation is excellent, they come with ear tips that have an insulating foam as opposed to simple silicon enclosures and they also do include a carrying bag. It's not of the highest quality but it gets the job done and its kept mine in perfect condition for months now.

The noise isolation should be more than enough for everyday normal use. But in loud working environments you may need to turn the volume up.

The Bluedio R+ headphones are passive noise cancelling. They do not have active electronic noise canceling like some headsets but the headset does block out quite a bit of noise by virtue of design. If you are in need of a headphone for hearing protection rather than just music listening I would suggest a pair of active noise cancelling headphones.

If I remember correctly they are around 25db. (About the same as ear plugs)That's assuming that you have a snug fit.

The noise isolation is provided by the interchangeable foam or plastic plugs; that part that is actually inserted into your ear. They are never not isolating sound. This isn't active noise cancelling that can be turned on and off and requires power. These ear buds are more like simple ear plugs an industrial worker might use, but with a high-quality ear bud speaker embedded behind them.

This will help reduce the sound further especially if you plan to use it in conjunction with earplugs. I use custom molded earplugs plus these muffs. It reduces the amount of sound significantly. I used to only wear the plugs but now I use both. Protect your hearing with these (and plugs)....you'll appreciate it in the long run.

No, the Flents Quiet Please Foam Ear plugs will not block out all the noise but they will do a better job and any other ear plug on the market that I know about. They will give reduce the noise significantly so you can tune it out. The only thing better would be a headset noise reducer over both ears- that would do the job
