Do they provide good noise blocking?

When ear pieces are properly fitted, they are excellent. One must place the earbud securely. Sound quality is very very good for the price point in all respects.

The noise blocking is absolutely superb. They work great in even the noisiest of environments.

Yes. I use them everyday at work. I run all kinds of loud equipment and still the music sounds great. Enjoy!!

Yes. They do very well for the price. I personally like them a lot. They block out sound like any others would. I mean, if you're in an area where people are being extra loud, loud machinery, etc, then naturally, it won't block that out, but it serves it's purpose. Don't go into buying these expecting them to be total noise cancelling headphones like you'd find in a firing range or something.

No, but they do shut out at least a good two thirds of external noise, so it's wrong to use them when you need to be aware of outside sounds.

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

Yes, they do block out normal amounts of snoring. If the snoring is really loud and wall shaking, they don't. They will dampen the sound though.

Hello Belle,These headphones block the sound to a certain level on low volume, but I can assure you that you won't hear anything if you turn them up all the way to the end. So basically they should do the trick I suppose.

It'll block a good amount of street noise, like cars, people talking, stuff like that. They aren't sealing up your ears as well as a proper earmuff, but you'll have to take them out if you have music on and someone asks you a question. I hope that helps a bit.

I don't believe they would completely block the sound or create COMPLETE silence. I live right on a major road (4 lanes of traffic) with my bedroom facing the road, and they block out most of that noise...to the point where I can sleep soundly. I hope this helps.

Yes they do, and because of the tight fit they block the outside noise really well.

Agree with Amazon Mama's response. Good earphones but not the best for blocking noise.

I have only used them when flying and they are very effective suppressing the noise and protecting my inner ears. They have dual type of usage for noise control...

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!

I don't find that it blocks sound very well. I use it to listen to music on my smartphone while walking, and I can still hear other noise with the earphones on. They work well enough for my purpose, though. Not as good as Bose...

I would say noise reduction is pretty good with these. I tried different kinds and these are significantly better than average, I would say.

Mark, they are pretty good at drowning out background noise. I love mine! They have a great sound as well & are very comfortable!

Not really, they're not exactly noise canceling; on louder volumes, you can keep out noise

Since these are in ear headphones they do block external sounds but if you are looking for active noise cancellation, then the answer is no. Hope this helps.
