Are these good for canceling classroom noises?

I use mine for my metal detector. It helps me focus on the tones I am getting.

My daughter is autistic and uses them on the school bus, at a restaurant or a family party with large group so they block out a majority of noise in general

While I've never used them in a classroom, I have used them at Starbucks and they did a really good job of blocking probably 90% of the ambient noise, so I presume tht they would work as well in a classroom unless there is a party going on.

Yes, from 1 to 10, 10 being completely noise free. These headphones are an 8. I consider these very effective. Not completely quiet but second best. Very effective

They're great for listening to music, as for cancelling outside noise, no. The sound quality is good, but there's no noise cancelling.

They're ok for noise blocking. I purchased a Bose noise canceling headset threw Costco and they work pretty good, I don't have the specific item number but they are under $200.00. I'm sure Amazon has them too.

No, but they do shut out at least a good two thirds of external noise, so it's wrong to use them when you need to be aware of outside sounds.

Yes most definitely. They block out barking dogs, so they'll help with noisy dorms. I've used them in foreign countries where my hotel room overlooked busy train stops and noisy walkways and have been very impressed with their effectiveness. The nice aspect about these is that they generate white noise, which is very effective at blocking noise.

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.

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.

Yes, they will work in either situation. However, they do not have noise cancelling properties. They're not ideal in loud/crowded situations, but they get the job done.

Yes. It's true they aren't noise canceling, but they do a pretty good job as far as I can tell. My parents complain that I can't hear them calling if I have them on, so that gives you some idea :-)

IMO they cancel noise decently. I use them at home, on my desktop pc, while the tv is on. My TV is about 5 feet away from my pc. I bought them more because they were for my son and halfway durable and has a decent range of size adjustments.

No, they don't keep noise out entirely, though good enuf for me, especially considering the good quality of the sound they reproduce. If noise cancellation is a primary concern, this product is not for you. Try Bose instead.

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.

I would think not. As others have said they are not noise cancellation. If you can deal with that one problem then you are set because they are overall fantastic headphones for the price range.

Certainly they make some noise. In the ambient I use it (a classroom) the noise is imperceptible.

No they are not designed to be noise canceling, however they do reduce outside noise a little because they cover your ears completely.

Ha- yes, I know all about noisy fourth graders! :) Yes, I think it would work as long as you play around with the settings. It will detect the noise closest to it the best so keep that in mind.

They will work but thy aren't noise canceling. You should look into noise canceling units. Bose has some that sound really good but cost a heck of a lot more than these.
