Do these have noise reduction? I want to use them when mowing the lawn and it would be nice if I would not have to turn them up to hear.

No. They are good in an office setting, don't think they'd cut the sound of a mower.

I listened to books on tape at the gym and could hear the music playing in the background. Not very loud, but enough to say these might not be the best at blocking out the lawn mower. They did block out people trying to talk to me, though.

I use them to go shooting at an indoor range and I hear nothing. I think they would be great for mowing the lawn.

They reduce some of the background noise but not all of it. They are best at reducing regular noises like the hum from air conditioning or air-plane noise. I got them to try and reduce noise from people talking in my office but it didn't really help with that.

I am not sure if I would say these are noise reducing. I would say they are better a directing what you want to hear to you. They do cover most of your ears but they are not like the encompassing ones. They muffle some outside noise but once you're playing anything what you are playing drowns out outside noise.

They do work well to deaden the sound from our mower. We do however have an electric, so it does produce less decibels than a gas mower. Hope that helps!

There not noise cancelling headphones. But are better sound insulting then earphone. Your definitively better wearing headphones over earphone, when mowing the grass.

They do cancel out external noise but in a passive way, this means that the earbuds and sound together provide isolation from exterior noise, they are however, not active, this means that there is no microprocessor that "listens" to exterior noise and then creates white noise to cancel it out. Regarding the microphone i cant be sure because i have not opened it up so im not sure if it contains an active noise cancelation system, but i can tell the call quality is great.

these are not active noise cancelling headphones, and are powered by the headphone cable, so no batteries required. being a closed back headphone, they do offer passive noise reduction, which is basically the muffling or muting of outside noise by nature of their closed ear cups. but if you want true active noise reduction, these are not for you.

The ones I have are in my opinion not noise-cancelling. They are just simple high quality headphones.

A lot of sound will be eliminated from wearing these headphones because these fit in the ears so well; if you need total silence, I would recommend Bose headphones, but if you are looking for a more alternate and cheaper solution than Bose, choose these, they will keep almost everything out, as long as you aren't around a lot of extremely loud things. I just used my leaf blower around the yard with these on and didn't have them going full blast to block out the sound (maybe a bit above halfway), that for me is good enough.

My experience is very different. Maybe my pair is defective but I could barely hear any music over the mower. I was hoping to listen to audio pod casts while mowing but after turning on the mower, I quickly realized that was completely out of the question. The headphones seem to limit outside noise pretty well and turned up I could hear every blade of grass as I walked across the lawn. However, it didn't let me increase the volume of my music independent of the outside mower noise. Volume increases from my Galaxy Not3 3 was ignored. One volume adjustment wheel on the headphones and it reproduced all the outside noise and my music at the same volume. i don't understand how the others had a good result.

The headphones have noise cancellation, but all that does is block out outside/ambient sound. So while they prevent outside noise from getting in, they don't stop noise from getting out. From my experience though, even when turned up loudly, it was not able to be heard by others.

I use them mowing lawn on a riding lawnower. They cut down on the noise a lot. I have used one pair most of the summer with frequent washing.

They would only reduce outside noise minimally. Considering how loud fireworks are I would recommend noise reducing headphones.

These are not noise cancelling, they are noise isolating with the rubber piece that goes in you ear acts like ear plugs. That being said I have used these on my lawn tractor that is pretty loud and they work great I can barely hear the mower even with the music off. You will have no problem hearing the music

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.

I don't know the noise reduction is, just that they work really well for me but then I wear hearing aids and these are the best ones I've tried.
