Can you hear other sounds while wear this device.

Absolutely yes. I ride a road bike on Houston city streets in the early morning with these on listening to podcasts. I hear vehicles coming from behind without any difficulty. These do a good job for voice. For music the low and mid range is not good and you don't get the great sound fidelity of some other in ear plugs. But for my podcasts they are spot on. I do not feel unsafe with them while bike riding.
1240339
Yes! You can absolutely hear cars, horns etc when using these. The sound on the earphones is not so great for music but the trade-off for safety is well worth it.
1240340
Yes, it does not block hearing ambient noise or conversation in either ear.
1240341
Yes, definitely. The small speaker in your ear only blocks a small portion of the earway, so it is easy to hear street noises, horns, sirens, people talking, etc., making these earphones very useful if you want to hear the outside world in addition to what you have in you stored tunes. The fidelity of the music suffers a bit, but that also allows you to listen to nearby outside sounds. This is the reason why I bought these earphones.

Yes you can hear anything around you as if ypu didnt have them in when there is no sound coming through them. It does not block the ear canal. You can still hear thing like cars and people talking when the volumn isn't to high. They are not like traditional headphones that block the ear canal.
1240343
Yes. Depending at the volume which you're listening at and your ability to listen multiple different sounds at once you should be able to hear and understand speech and other sounds while using them. I usually find at low to moderate volumes I can understand outside speech when concentrating on it and at all but the loudest levels can understand enough with out to much concentration to know if someone says my name.

It's my husband who uses them and he loves them -- he uses them while biking and yes, he hears other sounds. But that's what it is for -- to be able to listen to music while exercising, but at the same time still hearing the background sounds to ensure safety.

I believe you can. I have a slightly different model (not infra red--I'm able to leave the area and still hear thru the headphones). Others watching television with me can use the customary volume setup that exists with the tv. Hope this helps!

It does but it is very subtle. I used it this morning and I only heard a small peep. Mine at least, doesn't always make much sound. Love it anyway.

Yes you can. It has 3 settings Off, Low, High. I will say though on High it's still "low" and you can slightly hear your own voice. Not the best but the sound quality of the headphones makes up for the sidetone quality for me.

No, it is not audible in the headset. But, it may affect the person who is trying to hear you on the other line if you are using if for a phone (keep in mind I've experience this with mine - which has an adapter to a 3.5 mm jack, so I don't know if this happens because of the adapter or because of the headphone set up itself)

No you are still able to hear things. In opinion, its not a good headset at all.
67719
Yes, you can. If the person listening through the speakers has the volume loud, you can sometimes hear a slight echo though.
1400061
No, you can only hear the sound via headphones, you have to purchase an amplifier seperately. there is a input for headphones and for amplifier.

Not at all. Only when I turn my iPhone to its highest volume setting as well as the headset will sound be heard. When you take them off - sound will obviously be heard. If you lift one of the cups off your ear, even moving it to the back of your head - some sound will be heard. But if both cups are secure on your ears, then no sound will be heard.

Yes, although I suppose that if the sound is very loud you would hear it. These headless phones work very well for me, as well as some expensive ones that I bought and returned.

There are volume buttons on the left and right hand side of the device to facilitate wearing on left or right ear I suppose. In any case simply push both buttons simultaneously until you hear " mute on" conversely hold both buttons in a similar fashion on a muted device to unmute.
1197519
Yes, there is a two-button (+/-) control on the outside of the right ear cup. When the max volume is reached, an audible chirp sounds in the headset.
45048
No. The sound is generated by purely mechanical means: other electronic devices nearby have no effect on it.
1451269
Yes, you can hear talking and regular noises. There is a volume button on the receiver.

as long as something is playing yes , but if nothing is playing in the headset u can still hear your surroundings but very dim voice
1311358
No. It boosts the sound and as a result it can actually pick up noises like a buzzing sometimes. I wear a noise canceling headset to cut out background noise.

Sure. You can hear anything on your computer, whether Skype or games or music.
