Is "Noise Isolating" means that the three different size ear buds to assure you have a perfect fit so that will block out all sound from the surrounding?

They don't let in much noise, however "Noise isolating" is slightly misleading. Its not like you can't hear anything else while they are in. There are multiple sizes of rubber buds.

This is really a google search for a definition of a term. Not exactly a review of a product. They are noise isolating and do it well. Read this to learn what noise isolation means.http://lifehacker.com/5770258/the-difference-between-noise-isolating-and-noise-cancelling-headphones

You want a good seal, which creates air pressure when inserting UNLESS you follow the steps below air pressure that comes from a good noise isolating seal can be prevented by 1/moistening the bud, 2/ pulling down on earlobe while 3/inserting the bud as deeply as comfortable then 4/release the earlobe to create a pressure free seal. If you push the earbud in without pulling the earlobe down to crete a gap, the pressure can be uncomfortable. The moisture really helps with deeper insertion and seal for best sound and noise isolation, but increased seal can be uncomfortable without the earlobe pull to create a pressure release gap in the ear canal. Earbud weight was never noticeable for me.

If you mean noise around the room, not what you're listening to, then yes. It blocks out quite a bit of sound from around you.

Its not an isolation pad, that foam thing is like 10 foam stickers you can stick to the bottom of the speakers. They work pretty well...

While protecting from loud noise, it allows you to hear everything else that you would normally hear - maybe better because it somehow blocks distracting noise. It's amazing. It was a gift to my son who is utterly delighted with it.

it means a fair amount of the sound leaks out of the headphone, these headphones are not going to be totally quiet to those around you, it makes for better sound but not good for privacy or if you don't want to bug people if using them in public places.

I found noise isolation to be very good, but somewhat dependent on the volume you are listening at. I took these on an airplane shortly after purchasing them and found that they were just as effective as noise isolating ear-buds and cheaper noise cancelling headphones I had used before. The overall quality of sound however, was better. For me, the bottom line is that you can still maintain awareness of what's going on around you if you want...but you can also use these to enter your own little world and not be disturbed.

They came with 3 different size silicone buds that you can change out. I think I have relatively normal size ears and the medium and small work really well for me. The silicone is really flexible so you can get a very nice fit. The only issue I have had is that sometimes they fit so well I can't hear anything except what I'm listening to. At work I only wear 1 ear bud in most of the time or else my coworkers scare me to death when they come into my office and I don't notice. I-pod ear buds I have found to be slightly too big and they start to hurt my ears after awhile. I haven't had that issue with this type of ear bud at all and can't imagine using a different kind. My husband uses the large silicone buds and he has slightly odd shaped ears and many other types don't work well for him at all.

they do provide some sound isolation for the people around you and the foam does isolate some of the outside noise and the headphones do include a 1/4 inch adapter for audio receivers the only downside is the headphones could be small for larger ears.

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

I would have to say it eliminates most background noise. Of course there are some things that are loud nearby that get in the way of what/who you are listening to. Overall it does a good job of keeping out unwanted noise. Hope this helps.

They Do A Very Good Job Of Blocking The Noise Surrounding You. I Don't Hear The Noises Around Me, So When Someone Talks To Me I Take One Of The Earbuds Out Of My Ear. I Hope This Helps.

The the HF-5 work very well isolating this type of noise. A little bit of extra volume might be required but not a lot. If you couple them with ear muff protection you get even better results. Just make sure you clip the cord down otherwise you get micro phonic noise from the cord.

Typically Balanced armature earphones isolate very well. The Meelec 161p's are no exception. With the several tips included, using the triple flange, i can't hear a thing on the outside. I live in the city, and take several bus rides. Isolation is superb. Hope this helps

About the same. These are noise isolating earphones which is why I got them. They can be used around heavy equipment to keep out the sound while listening to music or books on tape (what I use them for). Ear buds are more comfortable but the heavy equipment means I would have to crank up the sound to hear the music and sometimes not even then.

Yes, I would say there is a decent amount of noise isolation, though perhaps not as much as those soft type that completely block the ear canal.

Yes. The 3rd is the one that blocks noise by reducing the db entering your ear. The 4th is an amplifier. One and two are different however, all I can say about these is that 2 is louder than 1.
