how much noise reduction do they provide?

The are not noise reduction but passive noise isolating. The degree which they will reduce outside noise is greatly affected by which tips you choose (the foam offering the greatest isolation) and the fit. RHA offer more choices of tips than any earphones I have purchased, so a good fit should not be an issue. In layman's terms, I would say the block about 75 to 80% of the outside noise after taking the time to find the tips that best suit your ears.

They're great at noise reduction, but I only have other in ear headphones as a point of reference, so I don't know they compare to something like bose.

It completely depends on how the ear tips fit you. They provide a wide variety of silicone ones, but none of them fit me that well. I ended up with Comply tips.

They form a pretty good seal. I would put their passive noise reduction at somewhere around 20 dB.

It reduces the ambient noise without increasing the volume. They work great!

I would say they are average at reducing outside noise. They do cover your ears, the seal would depend on the size/shape of your ears.

Not too bad, but of course they're not really designed as noise-cancelling specifically. I wore them on a 14 hour flight from LA to Sydney and it certainly made a difference though.

They block out noise well. I used them on a few flights, had a seat near the engines and it did not bother me at all, I could hear the movie from my iPad very well

My understanding of Noise Reduction is for the MIC. It reduces background noise that the Mic picks up.

They do dampen noise so that if you are playing drums you will not hurt your ears. They quiet things down a bit but do not eliminate total noise.

Not completely. I have not found anything that will do that as much as try to advertise! I wear them everynight because they do block most ambient sound i.e. fans, tv's down low.

They will certainly help. Most any noise reduction solutions will, earplugs, ear muffs etc. They have good noise reduction. Check the -db levels, the higher the better.

They don't block out ALL noise, but they definitely block a lot of noise. They don't mute everything though

Hey Climbing - they will definiteky reduce noise. I actually use them to listen to podcasts while mowing the lawn. They are a little bulky because they cover the whole ear. If you don't mind that then I would recommend them.

Mine do a great job. Obviously they aren't actual noise canceling headphones, but they doa great job in my opinion. Mine also fit snug in my ear which no doubt helps.

I have to second Joe M's answer. The most effective noise reduction solution is a set of cheap foam ear plugs.

Hi, in my experience, this is very basic sound proofing. So can't expect too much. But if you stick them all over the room including ceiling, and rug on floor, it dose help reduce the volume.

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 this device does not have noise reduction. You can still hear everything or everyone around you unless you have the volume at the max setting. Regarding calls they are as clear as if you were using stock earbuds that came with your mobile device.
