How are these in a busy/noisy setting such as the gym? Do they cancel out all the sound around you?

you will not hear a thing outside of those headphones. but i will be honest they make my ears sore from having them on long periods of time. great sound but a little stiff

I use them to cut grass, they drown out the sound of my riding mower surprisingly well. I could imagine they would be great in a gym setting.

No, they are not noise canceling. Frankly, I feel safer when I can hear a bit of the sound around me.

These are open end headphones and do not provide much noise cancellation. That's part of the reason their sound stage is so expansive. These headphones are best listened to in a quiet environment, but they sound oh, so fantastic!

Hi JF, I apologise that these earplugs might not be able to achieve that for you as it is not meant to block all all noise but reduce loud noises at live concerts, clubs and noisy work environments. You might have to turn to foam earplugs or active noise cancelling ones. Hope that helps.

I suppose it depends on what types of noise you are trying to not hear.. I wear them to bed and I don't hear anything but the audio book I am listening to.. I took them on my recent flight and I didn't hear the hum of the plane while in flight.. so I personally find they are pretty good at blocking out outside noises.. But I don't use them for any high end work or need to use them for any such, I am purely a casual user (over age 35), I don't have to turn the volume way up to reduce outside noise either. I hope this helped!

These dull noise more then cancel it. They work best on motor noises that remain steady but they dull human speach, too. Likely with just the noise canceling feature turned on the noise of the machines will be lessened and the men will be quieter. When you listen to music while using the noise canceling feature you should be able to block out most of the world, but some will still be audible. Just be aware, these use a cord to connect to your phone/mp3 player and they are large. Depending on what machines you use in the gym, they might get in your way.

I would say they cancel it out well, in a normal setting they you will not hear anything other then your music, (my parents get mad because I cant hear them over the headphones) but for gym use, I boost it up maybe like 1 notch, however it also depends on the device your using, also I'm not one to listen to my music at extremely high volumes as well. Also the Sound quality is incredible.

While they were comfortable, the noise cancelation did not actually block out noise. I heard my wife calling me from two rooms away. Also, if you listen to music to loudly, people can hear it clearly nearby.

yes... I am using mine at the gym. You just need to be a little more aware that they are there. Noise canceling is why I got them and they are over the ear!! plus they sound amazing!!

These do not have active noise cancelling (which would need power). Instead they have passive sound insulation. They are quite effective. I use mine for mowing the lawn and can listen to music or audio books without turning up the volume much at all.

The sound quality is excellent they cancel out all noise I use them at the gym and I can't hear the tv if it's going nor can I hear the fans, these are excellent.

I would say they block about 90% of outside noise. However when listening to it loud people next to you will hear your music. For the money you can't beat these headphones.

Not total cancellation. They block out most noise, but no they don't offer active noise cancellation.

Although I have not used these at the gym, I would guess that they would help to muffle the noise. I could not hear the air and white noise from the airplane. When the flight attendant came around, I had to remove the headphones to hear her.

I use these headphones at the gym... Yeah you do hear some clanging and banging in the background when you aren't listening to music, but when you are, they're pretty isolated, the volume goes up quite a bit so that really eliminates much of the external sound. But these about 3 or 4 months back and don't really have any complaints, great buy for the price!

They don't actively cancel noise but they a pretty good job of isolating. And if somebody can here the sound coming from them, you are probably going deaf from the volume.

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.
