how is the noise cancellation? (would it block out drums, lawn mowers, etc.?)

The noise cancellation is pretty good, they do a good job of making things quite, they could block out the sound if they where playing music

The Syllable G08 does an excellent job of noise suppression. Overall it is a good value. The only negative is the excessive bass.But that is tolerable.

It depends. Noise cancelling headphones cancel certain frequencies that make it easier to hear music or speech, but it's definitely not like wearing earplugs. Everything around you will seem quieter, but it won't be silence.

There not noise cancelling headphones. But are better sound insulting then earphone. Your definitively better wearing headphones over earphone, when mowing the grass.

Def clears out the outside noise. But everyone would hear what you're listening to at the same time. They're more for studio headphones. Try SOL republic.

Yes but you will of course have the background mower noise, therefor losing sound quality. For a mower I would stick to headphones

They'll block out a lot of noise, however if you're in an abnormally loud vehicle or other situation where there's a consistent droning noise you may want to look for active noise canceling headphones. If the sound you're trying to filter out is not loud and consistent active noise canceling will be useless. These headphones do _not_ feature active noise canceling but are closed back and will block out a lot of sound, such as people talking, TV in the room etc.

I tried them while mowing the lawn, and I found they didn't really do much when turned on. These are designed to suppress sound over 85db, and amplify sound lower than that. If your mower doesn't produce sound higher than 85db and/or produces a lot noise lower than 85db, these aren't going to do much to to dampen the noise. Now, if you turn them off, the padding def. makes a difference. But YMMV if you're wanting to listen to music while mowing.

I don't know if anyone has used them for mowing lawns, but they are pretty universal when it comes to noise cancelation. The plug is a standard audio aux cable

Funny you ask......i just mowed my lawn with them yesterday. They block out enough noise that i dont have to turn them all the way up when mowing the lawn. I have a 22HP ride on mower so it is loud.....and i listen to pandora on my samsung s3 one or two notches from the loudest setting. I am able to hear the music perfectly clear. Hope this helps.

While they were comfortable, the noise cancelation did not actually block out noise. I heard my wife calling me from two rooms away. Also, if you listen to music to loudly, people can hear it clearly nearby.

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!

Yes, they would block out local conversations, but you probably would not want to wear them for that purpose since they're a little bulky and not really designed for that environment. They work best around noisy machinery such as lawn mowers, leaf blowers and similar devices. In an office environment, look for battery powered noise canceling headphones that are lightweight and comfortable -- be sure to try them on before purchasing as there are wide variations among different products!

You can still hear. It just muffles things. Once you turn on the music, it pretty much cancels out all outside noise. As far as people talking, if my ol lady comes outside while I'm cutting the grass and tries to talk to me, I just pull the muffs off and see what she has to say. I hope this helps out.

It blocks a fair amount, yes...more than my earbuds did. But I have never had a "noise-cancelling" headset, so I don't know how it would compare.

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 can't say from experience of lawn mowing but it really suppresses noises from jet engines, machine gun fire, and concerts. I've had several pair over the years and I keep going back to them. I would recommend them for lawn mowing.

I use them to cut grass, they drown out the sound of my riding mower surprisingly well. I could imagine they would be great in a gym setting.
