how good is the noise isolation?

It's very solid. I've owned many pairs of earbuds like this (just in-ears with no electronic cancellation), and none are truly stupendous. But these have good enough isolation that I can keep my iPod at half-volume on the subway, and have an acceptable listening experience. I wouldn't want to turn it up louder than that for fear of damaging my ears, but yeah.

Not bad, it depends on the environment though. It can easily drown out street traffic and daily use for like an office setting, with possibly the exception for maybe sirens, road construction, or if you're on a noisy subway or something. I usually just turn it up louder depending on the environment. I typically turn it up to about halfway on my iphone so it definitely has a lot of headroom if you want to drown out other noises.

No sound leakage and excellent sound isolation.I bought these headphones only because I love to listen to some music, but don't want to disturb people around me. After two months of everyday usage so far I don't have any complains about sounds leakage and as I tested on other people it is not just politeness of people around me.The same is with sound isolation. When I am wear headphones I usually don't hear much of anything else. Perhaps in an industrial setting or children playground this wouldn't be true, but for the office or home environments these headphones isolate noises pretty well.

I think the isolation to environmental noise is good for an in-ear headphones.

No, it is not very good. I don't use it. Only used it one time, it was not very good at keeping noise out. I am planning on giving it to a kid to play with.

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

On a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the noisiest, I'd have to give it a 4. But, I've never used it in my car, or other enclosed space. It doesn't cause you to need noise muffling head phones, but it's not whisper silent, either.

I would say noise reduction is pretty good with these. I tried different kinds and these are significantly better than average, I would say.

Noise cancellation is really great. Sound leak is there but not very much. Very very little.

Noise pollution is very small. I can have volume on my Samsung S3 on max level and if I'm on bus, my neighbour can't hear. If the bus were to stop he might hear something but on normal listening level, which is 2 hits below the max, people around usually can't hear anything. Isolation isn't perfect but I is good and I sure was surprised by it.

While not good on noise isolation it definately does not snag. I use mine while biking and it lets me hear the traffic.

Mildly noise isolating. I got the comply foam tips and those make it better... Maybe to the level of shure headphones.Highly recommended

They are pretty good when using them. They aren't 100% noise canceling. But you will notice a difference compared to most headphones.

The noise cancelling is good. Not at much reduction as the Bose, or some of the other "over the ear" headphones, but for the smaller/lighter on the ear types of headphones, it is quite good.

They are not as good as over the ear models, but still quite good. If you keep the volume very low, you hear surrounding noise, but at normal levels you won't hear much.

Yea they are very good..I have used them for years(the non leather ones) and never had a problem with external noise . Great product.

Actually yes quite good. I'm using the memory foam like attachments as ear buds rather than the traditional rubber ones (they have a half dozen sizes to choose from) and the seal is almost complete. There's no actual noise cancelation tech involved as far as I know but they seem to do just as good as my QE2 headphones..

I guess you mean the sound isolation, it doesn't has noise cancelling but the soft cushions are covering your ears so well that it isolate the external noise very well. If you play in a club, I personally like to hear the music playing as well. The 3.5 Watt is also phenomenal, it so loud and clean that it makes it a lot easier to mix. I haven't found a better set of headphones so far and I had a few :-) . I have always looked around to get the best, the sound is just so real. You won't regret it for a moment. And did I mention that they are ultra light and have a massive ridged feel.
