I've tried using these at the range during pistol shooting and this is not a good use for them.. not enough loud sound level ear protection...

I have never had a problem distinguishing voices with the noise cancelation on. The filter blocks ambient sound and greatly reduces the human voice, but you can still tell someone is talking no problem, though you might not be able to hear what is being said. Of course, if you blast your music through these, you probably won't hear a thing, but doesn't that apply to all headphones?

For me personally they are great I hear no sounds other than what I am listening to while using them.

No they don't work like that. There is no audio input, thats not what they are meant for, they are for blocking out sounds on the range that would harm your ears.

Yea they are great, my grandson has autism and is very sensitive to hearing. Bought these for Monster truck and he did not have a problem the whole time. They do not adjust they are made to fit younger children

I have only used them once for shooting practice. It did a good job silencing the gun noise and I couldn't hear people's voices very much. Not sure how it would be for your use.

Yes, the complaints about these being uncomfortable are warranted. I've used my set for under an hour and I'm already looking to replace them. Be extra wary if you wear glasses while listening to these!

My mother in law used them with an amplfied hearing assist. Worked great for that.

Yes, they would work very well for that. I use them at work to block out annoying co workers and my boss always telling me what to do. However the music volume doesn't go very loud because they are not amplified speakers. I don't use them often anymore tho because I don't have a job due to my lack of coherence.

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.

No they aren't !!! , the volume is really low using them . And they keep popping out my ear . So I only use them for the computer. :-(

I can't compare the QC20 with the passive earmuffs you mentioned. I can say though that the QC20 does reduce the amplitude of voices but maybe not as much as you may want. I do use them in my office while listening to soft music. People have to shake me to get my attention. You can try them risk free for 30 (90?) days.

Not at all. These are great protective headphones. If you have that problem you should get a replacement. These are the best electronic headphones I've used and should afford excellent hearing protection. Try them turned off. If you hear loud shots then maybe they arent fitting you correctly or there is a defect causing a sound leak.

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.

My biggest and only real problem with these headphones is that they put a lot of pressure around my ears. Perhaps that is only because of head size. But for hearing aids that may not completely fit inside the ear, they may not work well. The big question would be if the person has used other headphones that completely cover the ear with those same types of hearing aids. If that person has had no problems, then these will probably give no problems either.

I use them in the office and have given them as gifts to others. They look a little silly, although it's also a cue to others that you don't want to be disturbed. I did find that because the clamp is firm on them, after a couple of hours they can hurt. However, they're good for getting a couple of hours of solid concentration at a time. The price point makes them much better than almost any other solution, I've found. (Spending $300 on noise-canceling headphones was definitely not what I wanted to do.)
