are these comfortable for long use? would these fit small ears? do they block too much noise? can you talk with some one or on the phone with them on?

I have used them for over 5 hours in night clubs with blaring music. I am able to have a conversation and no one even notices that I have them in my ears. My ears are small and they fit comfortably. The sound gets in nicely and it sounds great. I have never tried them while on the phone. Hope this helps.

If you are asking if these damage your hearing, I think I have a pretty good answer.The short answer is no. They don't damage your hearing more than a quiet conversation at a cafe would. Because these seal your ears from the ambient sounds around you, you can listen to music very quietly without any trouble. Sometimes, I put my phone's volume just under half if I am listening to a particularly quiet track. That's the loudest I ever have to make it. The way they sit in your ears might be a bit uncomfortable at first, but you'll get used to it quickly, and it's definitely worth it.

They're more "on the ear", than "over the ear" -- they don't have contact points on your skull or jaw, if that's what you're asking. They are super comfortable, and block noise pretty well, in my opinion.

Hey Climbing - they will definiteky reduce noise. I actually use them to listen to podcasts while mowing the lawn. They are a little bulky because they cover the whole ear. If you don't mind that then I would recommend them.

They will block noise to an extent though but not as much as ear plugs or active noise canceling headphones. I use these while mowing the lawn and working the the shop to block noise while listening to music.

Hi, You would probably need to have them set to maximum volume, they do not by their nature aim at noise cancellation, I did manage to hold a conversation on my bike in traffic but noisy vehicles do cause problems. A noisy vehicle does not sound like an ideal use of these headphones, as the idea is to allow you notice other noise.

They are good for noise cancellation of regular conversation. I use them at work and can't hear the other workers. I work in an open call center type of setup.

I would get noise reducing headphones. These are good headphones for listening but don't really block noise necessarily. We have firearm rated ear protection headphones for our daughter and fireworks. Hope this helps!

This headset has "over the ear" style. They are comfortable fitting for "average" size ears or smaller. They are wearable for an extended period of time without discomfort even when wearing eye glass frames over the ear.

I have these for my almost 3 year old daughter. I purchased them for the purpose of watching movies in the car. However I had my 11 year old try them on and she said that due to the padding around the ears they do block out some noise while listening to music or media. I'm not comfortable saying they are noise canceling. I will say they are fantastic headphones for toddlers.

I am buying them specifically for air travel. They not only block noise, they help with pressure changes during ascending and descending. They fit deep enough that you can wear headphones over them. My daughter (age 11) and I wear them on all our flights specifically for the pressure changes. Our flights average 3 hours and they are very comfortable.

Yes, they are very comfortable and I use them when I am out and about on my scooter (disabled). I use them on my iPod, at home on my computer. They have very soft cushion in both ears and and deliver the same sound as they did when I first bought them. I will use them for a few hours at a time and they are very durable. Hope this helps you, Jeff

They are VERY sensitive to background noise, the person at the other end will have a hard time hearing you. Also be aware that in order to use this unit that you have to insert the earpieces into your ear. If you do insert them in your ear this is considered abuse of the unit and will void the warranty. The left earpiece on mine separated while the unit while I was using, it just fell apart in my ear. LG refused to honor the warranty citing that the failure was caused by abuse....

yes, I would highly recomend them. You will be able to sleep on your side with them on.I use them only in the daytime around loud noise, it blocks out 75% of the volume.

pcuz, Pretty much no. I've just tested them with an iPhone 6 at about three-quarters volume, so if someone is sitting close enough to hear then they're probably inches away. At about half volume, sitting about a yard away, I can't hear anything. Considering all the office noise you get, they should be fine. As I say in my review, they can get a little warm if worn for too long, and I don't like that there's a degree of incidental noise from headphone cords rubbing on a zip or being touched with a hand or something: I tried them out on a hike and they were pretty rubbish, what with all the jostling they get - as a runner they're just not a very good idea. That said, in an office environment they'd be fine. You'd hear the phone ring (on your desk), but not the lads talking about the weekend's football results about 5 yards away. Have fun.

They will not "silence" voices. You can still carry on conversations with someone close to you. Wearing them though it would be very easy to tune the world out. Hope that helps.

Kinda depends on how high your volume is, and how tightly they fit over your head. The foam stops most of the noise, so it shouldn't be problematic for those around you. Hope this helps you decide.
