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.

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.

Yes, they are noise isolated. And I discovered, after very careful manipulation, that you can bend them to fit your head. Before that I was ready to trash them!

I don't think it is very quiet, making a sort of chugging/humming sound. I'm noise sensitive, so it would bother me if someone was near me while they were using it. If you were in another room, I don't think it could be heard, however.

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

The noise is not significant, and you'll get used to it the more you use it. The unit is most effective the more you use it.

It is not silent and it is not noisy. You can easily hold a conversation while standing next to it. It is quieter than window air conditioners I've been around. If it is running next to the head of the bed while you are trying to sleep, there is no doubt you will know it is there. Will it annoy you? My wife is phonophobic and on low speed it didn't bother her: she described it as a white noise she could overlook.

Yes it is, however I don't use it as much because it picks up too much of background noise.

I'm not so sure about containing sound. It breaks up a room well, but I don't think it would be what you might consider an incredible sound barrier.

We used it as a pantry door, so we don't really know if it dampens the noise, but the operating system is really smooth. Hope this helps

Noise isolation only keeps background noise from ruining the sound of your music.

To be honest its a little on the noisier side. If u put it in an enclosed space or box it does eliminate some of the noise.

If it does, it is closer to 10%. In my car it is very minor difference between plugging straight in or using the ground loop isolator. Most of the noise cut out for me is just extra static.

They block out ambient noise well but are not noise cancelling. At best, you might consider these "noise isolating".

Yes, I would say there is a decent amount of noise isolation, though perhaps not as much as those soft type that completely block the ear canal.

No It is not isolated, if you have a noiseless board with a one spot it should be fine,but I've been having some issues with this so i recommend spending the money for something more reliable.

Yes. It's not silent but if anyone is around you, they probably wouldn't know what the sound even is.
