Will these headphones block out other room noise? Will these block out the piano sound well enough to allow me to enjoy the television program?

I recently bought a pair of Sennheiser RS120s and doubt that they'll block out the piano on their own...perhaps at maximum volume, but over time, that would not be good for your hearing. What you can try is putting in earplugs (the hearos that Amazon.com sells are good) and then use the headphones at the same time. I've tested that (but not with a piano) and that has worked well to block out loud, distracting noise while still being able to hear my music. Music is usually continuous audio while tv audio has lots of periods of silence, so you may still hear some of the piano practice during more quiet tv moments.

Hello Rachel, although I cannot make a comparison to another model, I can tell you that I would never consider buying anything but the Shure SR440 headphones. I have been using them since I purchased a digital piano and it takes me to another world. The Shure SR440 headphones block out all other sounds and the quality is off the chart. Don't look any further.

I would recommend purchasing headphones which use noise cancelling technology for that purpose. I use Bose and have been very happy. Koss doesn't cancel noise, at best blocks some of it. They are quite sturdy so I guess they block slightly more than an average.

They are headphones, not a TV.Jokes aside, havent tried it. It depends on if your TV has a headphone jack or not.

Yea they work great cancel out most everything. If your looking for no out side sounds at all get the studio ones.

Yes, just turn the tv volume down to nothing and the headphones do all the work. I now have two of these which we use simaltaneously in case one goes to sleep early. You can also understand the words.

Unfortunately, I don't think it would work to drown out the noise of a tv as these are not noise cancelling headphones. The only problem with noise cancelling headphones are that they are bulky and awkward to sleep on if he sleeps on his side it would be uncomfortable. However, that being said if you wanted a headphone to drown out the noise I would give the noise cancelling headphones a try as they would help block out the sound, and would be ok if he was a back sleeper. The other option is plugging the Panasonic headsets in to your tv using an extension cable as Ilana mentioned,laptop or portable dvd player. Hope this helps answer your question.

Well, probably. They sound really good, I use them for DJ ing and they are pretty clear, so unless your hearing is totally shot; They sound better than your tv speakers probably.

Diane, these will be great for tv. You will hear sounds you never heard from the tv speakers. You may also want to consider a good quality sound bar with sub woofer. I have one and it is fantastic.

It will certainly help. With music playing through them I would surmise that you will not be able to hear them at all. I should say though that the are a bit heavy and bulky for an office environment.

No, they do not mute your TV. You have to turn the volume completely down on your TV and adjust the volume in the headphones to suit you. Works like a charm and makes my husband happy when he wants to go to bed early and I want to continue watching TV. ;-)

YES! That's what I love about them. No volume on TV and you control the volume with your headphones.

Absolutely! I really love this piano, and the headphones really let you listen to yourself without anyone hearing you. Hope you enjoy it!

Absolutely not. I just tried these on in my house and they block about as much noise as a sock would taped to your ear. I could clearly hear music playing on my TV at lvl 5/99. I put falling rain white noise on the headphones at low (the volume I'd have on if I worked out at a gym with no music on) and I could still here everything around me, including the carpenters doing work downstairs. These may be great for runners/whoever but don't expect any sound blocking at all. Just reboxed them and shipping them back. Looks like I'm going to have to buy the $299 ones from Bose, which it a hell of a lot of money for headphones. Maybe I should just look for a new gym that doesn't think it's also a disco.

Hi Tina! No, they'll still be able to hear the loud piano player, but not AS loud. I find I'm still able to concentrate even with the TV blarring in the background.

Hi Dan... I just had the opportunity to use my headphones and found that they do NOT block the sound as much as I would like. I also noticed there's been a price INCREASE of $9 since I purchased my set! Hope this helps....

Agree with Amazon Mama's response. Good earphones but not the best for blocking noise.
