Would this work well in an office setting to listen to music on my Kindle? Will it block the noise of typing on a keyboard?

HiThis is a bulky item and not really suitable I would think for office situations ..more for garden/ outdoor noise reductions .

It's pretty big and bulky not sure you would wear these in an office...definitely would block out noise of typing

I'm sure that it would block out keyboard noise...it blocks out my lawn mower for goodness sake! But I'm not sure if it would be comfortable to wear for 8 hours a day at work. The earcups are soft, but they are a plastic-y type material that is great for cleanability (sweat, body oils) but not as comfortable as a leather or soft fabric or foam. The spring tension is also fairly strong on the headband as these are designed to stay in place during heavy duty working conditions. But if these feel comfortable to you for long periods of wearing, I have no doubt that they will block out external noise better than your typical noise-cancelling headphone. The question is, will a typical noise cancelling headphone be all you need for your office environment, because that type of headphone is likely to be more comfortable for long-term wearing.

these headphones block all sound. really great for outdoor work. I wear them while on the riding lawnmower. I plug into my iphone and listen to music while I mow. Not sure how well they would work in an office setting.

It will work just fine to liste to what ever in a noisy place. Works fine as a headset at the auto races

It makes about the same amout of noise as my microwave makes. Since you wouldn't be using it for an extended period of time, unless your office is very small and very quiet, it probably wouldn't bother anyone.

I don't own a Kindle so I don't know. You will probably hear music but can't Control the player. There are two versions of the headphones. The "i" version is for iPhones and the one without for Android.

I use blues, but I don't smash the keys, so the sound is more about clicking than banging. I work next to a guy pounds a rubber-dome board all day, and he's definitely louder. For the amount of typing I do in the office, blues are the best choice, but a lighter sound might be appropriate, depending on the background noise.I have used quieter cherry switches. They were quieter, but not much.

I doubt you'd get functionality out of this on a Kindle. You might be pleasantly surprised but for tablets you'd be better off with a Bluetooth KB instead.

I've only used it with the Kindle Fire HD. It does have good sound quality and although it is not touted as "noise reducing" it has worked very well for me in that regard.

They are decent at noise isolation. I can tell that people are talking in my office around me with them on when listening to very quiet music. I can hear my keyboard keystrokes. I think I get about 15, maybe 20 db of noise reduction with the medium tips. You'll probably be able to tell you are on a plane, but will still be able to enjoy music without blasting it. I did not care for the included foam tips. I bought these to replace a set of Etymotic ER4Ps, which block 25-35 dB of noise. They are amazing in that regard.

Honestly at first it does make quite a loud "typing" noise as you said, yet you get used to it after a while. If you are thinking of getting this to use at night and not wake anyone that's in the same room, it's not gonna work.

The sound is clear for private or small group listening. It doesn't have a big sound but it works quite well if you view videos or movies or listen to music on your tablet, which is what I use it for. I think it is well worth the price.

It works really well. I use it for the iPad2 and Kindle Fire HD 8.9". Solid build, good sound quality. I use it for watching Netflix and Amazon Instant Video.

It doesn't block out all sound, but it does block out most of it. I think it's because of the padding, not any kind of advanced technology.

I tested my daughter's headphones with her Innotab 3S in a room with a loud TV, kids talking, a movie on in another room, fans and window A/C running. Although a bit on the quiet side due to the protective volume limits, most of the tablet's audio was discernible, and often clear. Hope this helps.

I think it would depend on how loud you like your music (as "background" or really rocking). Would also depend on how loud your workplace is (lots of chatter, phones ringing). I only listen to books on my device so the sound doesn't have to be loud. I really like the fact you can be aware of the sounds and situation around you which isn't possible with ear buds.

Nope. The screen is like a vinyl sheet and not porous so the sound will be blocked.

Its pretty close to our laptop key board... can't really say. I personally like clicking/typing noise and I kind a think its not loud...

I use this on my Kindle Fire and Samsung Galaxy Light. My Kindle has no screen protector but my phone does, and this stylus works just fine on both. I haven't noticed any noise when using these, and the more narrow tip is good for the keyboard. Also includes replacement tips, to last for a while. Good luck!

The Noise cancellation function works without music playing. However, in normal office type situations, or in crowded rooms with a fair amount of noise, you will still be able to hear people talking. That is because, at least in my understanding, the noise cancellation works by blocking out the low frequency sounds, but the higher frequencies will still be partially audible. (Side note: the mute button will mute the music as well as turn off the noise cancelling function so that you can hear your surroundings better)
