Is it really noise isolating?

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.

They work well. Key word is "isolate." I could still hear outside noises; they simply did not interfere with (or dampen the quality of) whatever I was playing in my ears. (...as mentioned by others.) Love the price. Will purchase a couple more sets.

Any earbud provides SOME noise isolation and some with tight-fitting eartips do better. Although I really like the JBuds sound and comfort (and the price!), the noise isolation doesn't seem any better than any other earbud set I've used. Some ear canals are harder to fit than others, though, so some of the sound leakage might be due to MY ear canals.

Not sure I understand what you mean by noise isolating. They do not prevent you from hearing ambient sounds. You can hear people talking to you, etc. I haven't used them in my car enough to know if you can hear emergency sirens, but I expect you can.

They won't prevent you from hearing loud noises like say a motorcycle or truck when your out jogging,walking, etc (which may be a good thing) but they do a decent job of letting you hear the music with minimum interference. I think they are worth the price. You can spend more for better earbuds but if your looking for decent sound without high price they are worth the money.

I've found it to be quiet. It's not noisless but the sound is more of a smooth hum than anything halting or harsh. The actual volume of the sound is pretty low.

It helps eliminate noises, but does not block all noises out. Plus it only works for the peson who has it in the room, so if you are trying to block out your noise so the neighbors dont complain or hear, then you need to buy some ear phones and be more respectful.

From memory, you can but very quiet. Any background noise will make it hard.

In my opinion, yes, it is relatively quiet. At least not as noisy as some others i have used.

Not actively, you will get a small amount of isolation but not cancellation. It only filter low end and high end noises. I have central heating. It it noisy but with these on it gets a little quieter and lot quieter when I turn on the cancellation. I actually find they do not work well on airplane (too much still gets through, I had to use earplugs just lightly put in for partial blockage in addition for them to block enough noise) but when I was riding buses they worked great.

It is not silent, but not noisey either. a good pad underneath would limit the noise.

Yes, and it is not noisy but the unit worked for only a very short time and is of poor quality. Company would not help. I would never buy it again.

Nose isolation isn't the best but it's not bad. You will definitely hear outside noise on lower volumes, not loud but you'll hear them. If you really want nose isolation get over ear. Trust if i had to do it obeer again that's what I would do.

It is not silent. It makes a noticeable fluttering sound as it operates. But it does work well.

No. No noise at all. 100% happy/satisfied with this purchase. Product meets or exceeds all expectations. Good luck!

Too far away then would be of practical use. If the noise bothers you then look for another solution. I like to hear it because it let's me know it is working.

I would consider these headphones to be only fair in isolation. You can hear quite a bit going on "outside".

Hi Chris - Isolating any speaker from the surface that it rests on always creates a better sound definition. If you have the speaker on a shelf or hanging on the wall the shelf the energy from the speaker is transfered to the shelf or wall. This will cause vibrations that will be out-of-phase from the information/sound radiating from you speaker which will cancel out the sound and reduce the over-all clarity of the sound. I use the isolators and the make a immediate different in the sound. Really amazing. The low end will be much more defined and clear. If you can afford them - and if you are fussy about the sound coming out of your speakers - I would highly recommend the isolators. I would even say that if you listen to some of your favorite music - it will sound much better than before.

From my experience and from what I have been told there is more or less no background noise

No. Not noise isolating-cancelling. Fit is average; they work themselves out of (my) ears while running, but the hook feature prevents total falling-out.

I'm not sure if noise isolation is the same as hearing protection, but I do use them when operating my riding lawnmower and my gas chainsaw, and that sound is minimized to where I can hear and enjoy music from my ipod. When the music is not playing the sound is lessened so much that many times I have to pull out 1 plug so I can tell when the chainsaw/mower starts so I can adjust the choke to complete the start.
