Are these good for cancelling out sounds during a test? Ex: shuffling papers, people walking up and down the aisle, noises that echo in an auditorium

I would think so. I use them for using lawn equipment and on the pistol range.

To do that you would need to wear FOAM earplugs or the Military GI earplugs. The ones with the 3 prongs. They work really well. Here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Tru-Spec-Earplugs-Tactical-and-Military-GI-Shooting-Earplugs-5485000-/271920690813?hash=item3f4fbc767d

One side is good for total noise cancellation to a point, I think this is 33 DB. The other side is good for sudden noises, like gunfire.

These are primarily used for minimizing the loud sounds of shooting weapons. They are reversible. One side has a small hole which allows the ability to hear speech yet mutes the sound of pistol fire. The opposite side has no hole and does a good job of muting rifle fire (AR15). I'm sure one or the other would dampen the sounds you request. However, the disposable foam type readily available at Walmart, Amazon or a sporting goods store would probably do a good job for your needs also. I have been pleased with the Peltors and they are washable. Hope this helps.

I've never used them that way but I believe they would work well for that application.

Depends how noise the call center you work in, in my setting it did cancel most of the background noise, but enough to were I can here what's going on. Unfortunately there no notice cancelation for these headphones. On the system I used I had the options to cancel some background noise.

Isolating? Yes. Canceling? No. If you get a good fit, they block a lot of the ambient noise but as others have mentioned they do not block out everything. I've used them in airliners and they help. Not as good as the expensive noise canceling buds but they do help. JLab sells replacement silicone tips that have an additional flange which may improve the fit and thus the isolation.

Hello, Yes, I suggest you ensure you have a voice recorder with noice canceling capability. I used a recorder without that feature and the quality of recording was very difficult. I highly recommend this little device. Good Luck!

I have used them in a work lunchroom and have completely shut out the noise of the random chatter. Depending on the level of speaking (which we all know people like to shout in their cell phones) I think they will greatly cut down if not eliminate the noise for you.

They are not on a Bose level for noise cancellation. I wouldn't buy them to to cancel out traveling noise. For home use, I find them more than adequate. If my kid is YELLING, then OK, I can hear him. My wife, however, usually has to throw something at me if she's trying to get my attention. For home use, I like these a lot.

if you have the headphones hooked up to a tv, or your music, then yes it will lesson the noises you will hear in your surroundings, but if you just have the headphones on alone, it won't completely remove sounds like you are describing. hope this helps

You might hear yourself doing it more. These did not cancel all of the outside of my own noise out, but it did lessen it quite well. Not to be hurtful, but therapy can help more than these for those kind of things. It helped me anyways. I bought them more for a costume than for their actual thing. Also even on the biggest setting they kind of hurt my head and ears, and I don't have a very big head, I often have to buy children's sized hats. I think they may carry a stronger and bigger size which might help more.

Though not actively noise canceling, these headphones do dampen ambient noise. in my experience, these headphones do cancel most sounds in my home, but perhaps not all the sound of a moving train, or a busy crowd. despite this, they managed to cancel out enough noise around you that your music will sound spectacular.

No. ANC (Active Noise Cancelling) headsets work best to cancel out constant, low frequency noise such as airplane rumblings, car noise, etc. They'll work to a slighter extent on office noises but they may, depending on the voice, suppress the background noise and let the voices come through clearer. My suggestion would be to find a set at a place with a 100% return policy, keep all the packing materials, and try some out. Bose are probably the best, others with over-the-ear cups (these JVC are on-the-ear) are your best bet.

Since these are in ear headphones they do block external sounds but if you are looking for active noise cancellation, then the answer is no. Hope this helps.

I have never used them in an environment to judge noise cancelling, but I would say, if you listen to your music at max volume, yes :)

I find they stay securely and definitely cancel out noise. JLab is great! Enjoy!

It will certainly help. With music playing through them I would surmise that you will not be able to hear them at all. I should say though that the are a bit heavy and bulky for an office environment.

These earplugs are very good at blocking out sounds. I'm sure they would block out keyboard sounds, but I have not tried them for this purpose.

The noise canceling on these is so-so, but will block out some sound. If you've got people over and the t.v. turned way up they won't be much help, but for most purposes these work nicely. I use them when vacuuming sometimes for instance and mostly I here the music.

I would say the opposite-I use them in office and even with loud music my colleagues don't hear a thing (tested it). Sound is directed to ears.
