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.

Hi Chris - Isolating any speaker from the surface that it rests on always creates a better sound definition. If you have the speaker on a shelf or hanging on the wall the shelf the energy from the speaker is transfered to the shelf or wall. This will cause vibrations that will be out-of-phase from the information/sound radiating from you speaker which will cancel out the sound and reduce the over-all clarity of the sound. I use the isolators and the make a immediate different in the sound. Really amazing. The low end will be much more defined and clear. If you can afford them - and if you are fussy about the sound coming out of your speakers - I would highly recommend the isolators. I would even say that if you listen to some of your favorite music - it will sound much better than before.

They don't let in much noise, however "Noise isolating" is slightly misleading. Its not like you can't hear anything else while they are in. There are multiple sizes of rubber buds.

I did it quite a bit. They work well but they are only ok at noise isolation so you will get some background noise.

THe background noise is muffled but not completely drowned out. Hope this helps you :)

It is noise cancelling, to a degree, I can still hear some noise, albeit muffled. To be fair, please know that I am really sensitive to noise, I hear sounds others do not - people are sometimes amazed at what I able to hear. I would test them out as I think it varies by individual.

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

No, it is not very good. I don't use it. Only used it one time, it was not very good at keeping noise out. I am planning on giving it to a kid to play with.

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.

Noise cancelling, which actively cancels out incoming sounds, is not found on this headset. Noise isolating, which passively blocks incoming sounds, is what this set of headphone does, and it does a descent job. You can still hear external sound, but it's muffled. I used these on a plane recently and they worked just fine. I would give these a 7 or 8 on a scale of 1 (hear all external noise) to 10 (hear no external noise).

In my opinion, yes, it is relatively quiet. At least not as noisy as some others i have used.

I would consider these headphones to be only fair in isolation. You can hear quite a bit going on "outside".

The material used to make these eartips are surprisingly noise isolating. On the plane, I find these to be far more comfortable than noise-cancelling headphones as it doesn't require white noise to block the sound. The intrinsic design and materials of these headphones do a great job isolating sound. I could not hear any of the PA announcements or the engine with these on (maybe a bit, but much more comfortable than the white noise created by noise-cancelling headphones).

It is not overly noisy, in my opinion, but I am old so my hearing isn't trustworthy. Perhaps a younger person should answer your question.

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 does help block out a modest amount of noise, but it is not a solution for large noise issues. I hope this helps.

Not actively, you will get a small amount of isolation but not cancellation. It only filter low end and high end noises. I have central heating. It it noisy but with these on it gets a little quieter and lot quieter when I turn on the cancellation. I actually find they do not work well on airplane (too much still gets through, I had to use earplugs just lightly put in for partial blockage in addition for them to block enough noise) but when I was riding buses they worked great.
