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.

Too far away then would be of practical use. If the noise bothers you then look for another solution. I like to hear it because it let's me know it is working.

No they are not. They aren't really sound isolating, either. So not great if you are on an airplane, but they are nice when running or cycling as they allow you to hear cars and people around you when using them.

Not 100%. But it depends on the distance and noise level. I would say 80% of the noise is blocked. It is worth the price.

It's not completely silent, but I don't believe it's loud. It doesn't squeeze pretty tight, so you do have to get used to that!

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 a pretty loud air-purifier and computer as well, and the AT2020 does a good job of not picking up those ambient noises quite well! Most of my recordings are whisper quiet in the background. Hope this helps!

It was quiet within a normal home environment. If you have special requirements, you'd better get input from someone who uses it with no background noise.

There might be a TINY bit of noise but it's almost unnoticeable and does not limit you in any way. I have never noticed while I'm playing.

Very subjective, but I'd say it's closer to the "virtually silent" end rather than "really noisy." It's not loud at all.

I never tried. But it's a decibel measuring device, so it should measure for any noise. I don't think it can isolate specific sounds, though.

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... its one part of the sennheiser i.e. 80 that it is not very strong at. noise isolation. But it is very acceptable for many people like me

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.

There is no active noise cancellation, but because of how well it isolates, there is almost no ambient noise

It helps eliminate noises, but does not block all noises out. Plus it only works for the peson who has it in the room, so if you are trying to block out your noise so the neighbors dont complain or hear, then you need to buy some ear phones and be more respectful.

Obviously some noise but don't consider it too noise. I'd consider it generally pretty quiet.
