I want to be able to crank these up loud to listen to music but not have anyone else hear the music, do these accomplish this?

They are used for an electronic drum set which works very well, however, I have not used for music so I can only respond for the drum set, there may be something better, but for the price , these are perfect. ..hope this helps

The CAD DH100 headphones are primarily designed for drummers to use to isolate the exterior noise created when practicing while allowing very low output volumes from an audio device in to the headphones. They do a credible job at this all around at protecting your hearing. If you wish to listen to music at high input levels they probably will isolate the sound in reverse as well, but as I can attest, the effect of loud music, especially concentrated by headphones, will lead to a life of misery do to internal ear damage and sever loss of hearing. Protect your hearing at all costs and crank it down!

Hello Belle,These headphones block the sound to a certain level on low volume, but I can assure you that you won't hear anything if you turn them up all the way to the end. So basically they should do the trick I suppose.

No, They make too much noise with the total surrounds that when you bump them and they move against your ears, the external noise will drown out the music.

Yes, they do. And they can go very loud. Usually if headphone volume is maxed, I set the external volume (PC or whatever) to no more than 20%, 30%.

They isolate very well. You're not going to have to turn the volume up much at all. Usually, maxing these headphones on a phone or iPod isn't going to be too loud, but the isolation usually makes it loud enough. I'd suggest getting a good DAP or a powerful phone anyways. I think your biggest concern should be how hot your ears will be :D

I noticed almost no sound leakage. I have had these and I like to listen relatively loud but I have never had anyone else comment that they can hear what I am listening to. Hope this helps!

I don't believe that they have that capability. They require connection to a receiver/amplifier to power them....they do not have an in-built amplifier. Connected to a suitable receiver, they produce brilliant sound.

They can get pretty loud or quite depending on what you set the volume to. They only issue you might find is controlling the volume each time you unplug the speakers it defaults to a slightly lower setting. Plus the volume control is digital button for up down and off, with no indication on how high or low you've set your volume to, other than you and your students ears

Do you mean can you hear announcements? I'm not sure I know what you mean. They work like any headphones - if they are up loud (though these don't go super loud so your kid doesn't blow out an ear drum) they won't hear anything. My son likes to wear them at home and I need to yell at him if I want him to hear me while he has them on and is concentrating on what he's watching.

I hooked them up to my surround sound receiver. I don't think they're built to CRANK UP and rock the house, but I have them outside on my deck and they're on 24/7 (I listen to KKJZ's online stream--jazzandblues.org). I'm in a quiet neighborhood, and so I remember a couple of times at night I had the music on a bit too loud, so I had to turn it down. Anyway, the basic receiver works fine with me.

I bought these for my son for the exact thing. If you have the music down low. . They are quiet.. if you turn the music up. . Others can.

Not at normal volume. At high volumes people in a quiet room can hear _something_ - much like other headphones - they can tell it's music, but not really hear it.

Elisa, they do work without any music playing but you do hear a not more of the surrounding noise. The more expensive models I have tried do a little better job without music. But not considerably better.

No they don't block out noise. They work for me because I want to be aware of sound around me but I can still enjoy my music at the same time. I hope this helps you.

I've listened to them pretty loud and I haven't gotten any strange looks from people because they could hear my music. As far as I'm concerned, these headphones don't have much sound leakage if any at all.

I've never tried that, but I don't think so, as I can hear just fine when I'm wearing them!

I do know that if the tv is loud, I can put these earbuds on and not hear the tv. I guess it depends on how loud the machinery is next door. Give them a try as you can always return them if they don't work.
