Does it block out noise?

It's not a noise canceling device, but since it's used with an earplug, outside noise is naturally blocked out. I use it with an acrylic molded earpiece. Works great.

This is not an effective noise attenuating headset. Recommend a full coverage headset for noisy environments/cockpits,

The white noise feature blocks out some of the unwanted noises that you hear.

Yes, it does block the two new mic openings on the left side of my 2014 MBA. I had to cut out two holes to let the sound out.

It helps, not total blockage, I have it coming from my utility room to the kitchen it softens the noise. better than nothing. I wish it were made better

It will diminish any noise to some degree, but if it's coming from outside, putting it in the window will block some of it. These work best to keep sound from bouncing off walls.

It blocks a fair amount, yes...more than my earbuds did. But I have never had a "noise-cancelling" headset, so I don't know how it would compare.

No. It boosts the sound and as a result it can actually pick up noises like a buzzing sometimes. I wear a noise canceling headset to cut out background noise.

Yes it does, it works fine if you are indoors but if your outdoors and there's any wind or side noise it will be hard for people to hear you

You can still hear. It just muffles things. Once you turn on the music, it pretty much cancels out all outside noise. As far as people talking, if my ol lady comes outside while I'm cutting the grass and tries to talk to me, I just pull the muffs off and see what she has to say. I hope this helps out.

I can't promise that it would cut all the noise out; but it at least mutes it. I bought one years ago; because my husband snores. Hope this helps you.

NO! it does not. Don't spend your money on this if that's what you want. I use this daily and it does not cancel any noise whatsoever. I can still hear noises outside on all types of music(Rock,Jazz,Classical,etc).

No, it. Really blocks out background sounds and fits tight over ear so no one heard what you are listening too.

Will not drown out noise completely but it will make it difficult to hear anything else. Depends on how snugly it covers you ears and volume.

It was a gift for someone else, i haven't used it. However they did tell me it does cancel out noise. And it can plug into any headphone jack.

No. They provide a substantial reduction in the level of the noise, but you can still hear things muffled.

From the feedback that I've received on the other end of a call, yes. It was able to block out my loud visitors during a call. However it will pick up a loud radio, but barely. So if your office is loud, there might be some muffled background noise.

Absolutely. Best background noise blocker I've ever had. Blocks out work noise, my four year old and my new puppy. I can even use them when i vacume and hear the music over the vacume. I actually have to turn them down when i ride my bike because i can't hear cars comming up on me. Hope that helped :)
