How do these earphones perform while using outdoor power equipment (mowers, weedeater, etc.)?

These are attenuating earphones, not noise cancelling so they do just what you asked. I use the yellow 12mm foam tip as I find they do the best job of sealing, thus blocking outside noise and bringing out the full sonic quality of these earphones. I use both the HF5 and ER-4P models.

The the HF-5 work very well isolating this type of noise. A little bit of extra volume might be required but not a lot. If you couple them with ear muff protection you get even better results. Just make sure you clip the cord down otherwise you get micro phonic noise from the cord.

I have never tried them in this application. They will do well with airliner noise unless you are sitting right near the engines. Then you need heavy duty noise cancelation and suggest Sennheisers.

The in ear design works perfectly for it. It is liked wearing ear-plugs. Another example is like, you are in the car with windows rolled up and the mowers noise becomes low sounding humps...you will love it. keep the plug clean with peroxide ($1 bottle) at Rx stores.

Not sure as I haven't tried it for that use. But I do put them in on an airplane to cut down on the engine noise and they work pretty well. The different earbud tips give you flexibility to get a snug fit which should also help relative to alternatives.

I use mine while riding my motorcycle. They do an excellent job of muffling the wind noise which is substantial (I ride a Honda, not a Harley). I think they will work well for what you are asking of them, just be careful about not turning the music up too loud, it is easy to do in a noisy environment. I suggest adjusting the volume to an uncomfortable level first, then back off to a comfortable level, then turn on the machinery.

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

Seems fine to me, i mounted them outside on a tree, stayed out all summer , no problems at all. I did actually wrap a layer of clear shrinkwrap arounnd them to be safe, but all on all pretty good, they had a good volume level, as well as a good Bluetooth range

If you r real sweaty, they might move around a bit. I use mine when mowing on riding or with push mower. I do like the way they block (not totally) sound from engine. I can't wear the in-the-ear phones do to piercing.

They will block noise to an extent though but not as much as ear plugs or active noise canceling headphones. I use these while mowing the lawn and working the the shop to block noise while listening to music.

I wear them when riding my mower and when using the leaf blower. Some noise comes through, but I can still hear my music fine. They are bulkier than noise canceling but comfortable. For the price they are worth trying for flight travel. Hope this helps.

I have used these for mowing my lawn. I used my Apple iPod with a standard interconnect cable. The plugin on the headphones is the same as on the iPod. I was surprised how well they worked. I thought the volume would have to be very high but it was not. The sound protection was quite good and I could hear my music just fine. There does seem to be a limit as to how load you can adjust the music. I wanted it a little louder but found it to be quite adequate. It's rather surprising how you can turn up the volume and hear surrounding sounds better than without the headphones on. Then when start the mower, its sound is immediately blocked and I can now enjoy my music. I'm sure you'll like using them. I have used these for mowing my lawn.

They work pretty well. They cut out the loud frequencies without muffling out all the music. I used to use foam plugs as well, and I haven't had to since I got these.

My husband isn't too impressed. He uses these earphones while he mows the lawn and the reception goes in and out as he makes turns. This is the second set he has owned. The first set worked very well for years. Maybe these are just lemons.

I have never had any problem with hearing or being heard while outside. I especially like the noise cancellation feature.

They have decent sound (honestly, I think they sound very good), but they do not cancel ALL outside noise. With no music they block less noise than a set of soft foam earplugs. With music though, outside noise shouldn't be a problem at all.

These may not keep out the lawn mower noise as these are not designed for noise cancelling. If you are going to use them outdoors you may avoid these as any moisture from weather or sweat will damage the wires pretty fast.

i would use something that has an active noise canceling function (requires a battery to produce a noise canceling "counter sound wave"). MEEs will cut out ambient noise well - but not well enough for the high dBA from mowing - i think.

I would say they block about 90% of outside noise. However when listening to it loud people next to you will hear your music. For the money you can't beat these headphones.

Well, the noise cancelling is not on the order of a pair of Bose earbuds but they are pretty effective and they adequately plug your ears. I would say that you would be able to listen quite nicely while mowing.

For riding lawnmower use, I use both plugs and over-ear headphone-style protection, but the plugs alone do a pretty good job.

Yes, and they are well worth the money! I wear mine mowing the lawn and I can barely hear the mower.
