Not sure how to phrase this: if you're wearing them and nothing is playing does it pick up outside (surrounding/environment) noise in-ear?

There is no surrounding or electrical noise. You may pick up something if you are directly under a high powered electrical line. Then again, you will here EMI noise w/wo anything on your ears.

you will hear muffled background noise...kinda like wearing foamy earplugs, depending on the size of earbud you select(there are 3 sizes to pick from)...which is good because you can still carry on a conversation...or hear sirens, cars honking, etc. Hope this helps

This is not a good product. Mine broke after little and careful use... I even bought a case to store the headphones. I don't recommend it.

No it does not. Its noise isolation is one of the best I've ever had. Most of the time I have to go so far as to remove one of the earpieces to hear people trying to talk to me, whether music is playing or not.* I see other people are having a different experience with theirs. I guess it would depend on the size of the earpiece and your perception as to whether the background noise is still loud enough to hear or not. I prefer the isolation of sound and as I said these are one of the best earpieces I've used because the size allows it to fit all the way in my ear and I like that. However not even earplugs will stop absolutely all noise such as car horns and sirens, so if that's your concern don't worry No it does not. Its noise isolation is one of the best I've ever had.

If you are asking if you'll hear noise "picked-up" from the FLEX's microphone, the answer is: NO. That said, if you are moving through the air quickly as you might be on a bicycle, your ears will hear wind noise going around the outside of the headset. You will not hear the wind electronically out of the earbuds, but externally from its blowing around them.

I do hear that noise occasionally, especially if I'm trying to play softly. However, I don't seem to hear it when I use the headphones. So far, it hasn't bothered me much, or else I'm getting used to it.

That sound is the active noise canceling. All active noise canceling headphones have that sound. You probably won't hear it when you are playing music. If you still do and that is bothering you, you can use it with the noise canceling turned off.

No, the vibrations produce only a little audible noise when you have the headphones on and remove from your temples. When in operation I would say no one else can hear what you are listening to.

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.

Hi Judith, if your question is about if people around you will hear the music playing on the headphones, in connection with the Noise Canceling feature, then yes they will be heard, specially if the volume is high. -Vincent

Given the nature of these headphones, they do not isolate noise. Meaning people near you might hear some of your music, and you will hear both your music and a bit of the environment around you (not the best for bus rides). Consequently, I would not recommend these for walking or going on the bus.

They are not noise isolating; you will still hear some outside noise. And yes, there is some sound leak, but of course how much depends on how loudly you listen to them.

They do if I use foam rubber in-ear noise protectors. The noise protectors cut out the ambient noise while allowing for the device to transmit the sound through your ear bones.

These have noise isolation padding so when you have it at certain volume you can barely hear outside noise. Even on some lower volume or no volume you can tell the difference. I can hear others talking with them on no sound but it's almost as if they are surpresed

No, it. Really blocks out background sounds and fits tight over ear so no one heard what you are listening too.

The headphones have noise cancellation, but all that does is block out outside/ambient sound. So while they prevent outside noise from getting in, they don't stop noise from getting out. From my experience though, even when turned up loudly, it was not able to be heard by others.

If you do the only sound you will hear is static, But I returned mine because even having them farther apart in the yard you still can only use one at a time. So I returned them!!

I would say about 90 percent of the outside noise is cancelled by the headphones but there is no difference when you turn on the noise canceling feature.

No I don't believe they will make outside noises completely silent. I am not sure if there is any product on the market that can do that. Maybe if you added earplugs to it. But I believe it is an excellent product for the price and does help with outside distractions

I would say they're noise reducers. I haven't used noise cancellation headphones before so my assumption is that I shouldn't hear much of any background noise when using this type of headphone. With the Kensington headphones I do hear outside noise. However even though it's not as comfortable as some ear nubs it does a better job of reducing the outside noise. And the price for the Kensington was attractive enough for me to buy a pair just to have. Hope this helps.

They do not push in tight, they rest in your ear opening. They do allow outside sound to be heard.
