Do these headphones block out snoring?

I was able to check this out this morning as my wife was snoring due to cold/flu. With the aware option on, you'll hear white noise and full blown snoring. Tune off the aware the normal deep breathing sound are masked completely and in my estimation the snoring goes from 10 on a 10 scale to a 1. You'll still hear a tiny bit but I really had to listen closely to distinguish the snoring from the white noise.

With just the noise cancelling, no. With noise cancelling and music, yes! My partner snores terribly and these have been amazing, provided that I'm listening to something through them (nature sounds seem to have an additional "white noise" type of effect).

I can't answer that right now. I wouldn't think that they would block it out completely .

They would! If I'm listening to music in the 20i, I know I can hear nothing else.On the other hand if someone yelled for help, you probably won't hear them either. I figure the airplane is okay to use them. The sound is terrific.

They will block out the majority of noise, but not all. But I don't know of any ear plugs that will block out 100% of the noise.

No they won't cancel snoring. Not effective on speech, just on constant background noise.

Not 100% sure but I would be willing to bet they would block out all but the worst snorers. They are comfortable so you could sleep with them so give them a try.

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 bought them for concerts and riding my motorcycle. They the sound in without sounding muffled. For me they do not reduce noise enough for sleeping. I use foam ear plugs for that.

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.

To a point yes. I used them on a family trip to disney and my parents snore LOUD like lawn mowers. The plugs helped big time but you can just faintly hear things. Nothing will block out sound 100% really

They wouldn't. They would reduce the volume, so perhaps if you can sleep with quiet snoring? Just get a pair of cheap ear plugs which snuff out everything if you want to cancel out snoring.

Absolutely! I sleep in them every night because my boyfriend snores... They're so much more comfortable than those ones you buy at the sporting goods store or Home Depot. I will say that about once every couple of weeks I have to give my ears a break from them, but without them I would be one grumpy girlfriend!!

If you are asking about the Marsona sound machine, I think it would definitely make the snoring much less noticeable. It may not drown it out, but it masks the sound so it makes sleeping with a snorer much less irritating. It does have a volume control, so you can actually turn it up quite a bit. That helps too.

Not by definition. They're noise isolating headphones (it isolates only a certain amount of ambient noise via the design of the headphones allowing you to hear the music from the headphones more so than ambient noise. Keep in mind that you will still hear about 50%-90% of outside noise depending on the volume of the music).

I don't know about blocking snoring. I use to drowned out noises from the street and it works well for that.

If you intend to be sleeping beside the snorer I wouldn't recommend these. They have a small extension that goes beyond flush with the ear. It would be uncomfortable if you turn your head on the pillow. If you are up and functioning around the snorer it would reduce the intensity of the sound but not 100%

If you mean are they noise cancelling the answer is no. And these headphones are uncomfortable when you wear them for a long duration.

No they don't block out noise. They work for me because I want to be aware of sound around me but I can still enjoy my music at the same time. I hope this helps you.

They block out external sound well, but do not have active noise cancelation. They don't leak sound so if you turn up the volume you won't bother those near you.
