Has anyone tried mowing the lawn/ running any equipment with them? Noise reduction doesn't sound like noise cancellation. Thoughts?

You would be correct that there is no noise cancellation. Basically noise reduction allows you to listen loudly without disturbing others around you.

My understanding of Noise Reduction is for the MIC. It reduces background noise that the Mic picks up.

They do not cancel out any noise in a technical sense, as they are not noise cancelling headphones. They are for hearing protection and greatly diminish all ambient noise. I don't recall by how many dB, but it is significant. They are great for listening to music while mowing the lawn. In order to hear someone talking, you will likely need to look at them, listen carefully, and not have any music playing. Of course, everyone's ears are different, so your mileage may vary.

I would say noise reduction is pretty good with these. I tried different kinds and these are significantly better than average, I would say.

Because the On-Ear Headphones are NOT wireless, they work only if attached by a cable to the audio source. You certainly can wear them while mowing, but if the purpose in wearing them is to hear something from the headphones, it would undoubtedly be very impractical having to manage a very long wire, unless, of course, the area being mowed was extremely small. However, should you choose to undertake to wear them in spite of what I have said, I strongly recommend that you employ a volume control attached directly to the headphones, as it would be most inconvenient to have return to the audio source in order to adjust volume, an obvious necessity in the presence of a variable background noise from your mowing machine.

I feel is not a good product, dosent fit into my ears. So mowing is so loud might as well not ware them. Not sure what you question was dosent make sense.

Depends what gun you are shooting, I presume. It wouldn't be enough for me, I know that. Stick with the full headset type in my book! Lawn mowing--- might dull it, probably ok. Certainly not going to be quiet though.

You can still hear. It just muffles things. Once you turn on the music, it pretty much cancels out all outside noise. As far as people talking, if my ol lady comes outside while I'm cutting the grass and tries to talk to me, I just pull the muffs off and see what she has to say. I hope this helps out.

I use them mowing lawn on a riding lawnower. They cut down on the noise a lot. I have used one pair most of the summer with frequent washing.

Have not tried on a plane, but have tried for noise-cancelling at home. Work at home writing and wanted earbuds to decrease traffic, lawnmower, construction and screaming baby noise. They don't work. They're ordinary low-priced earbuds, not true noise-cancelling devices. Went back to my Klipsch that I bought a few years ago. Oh well...

I don't know if anyone has used them for mowing lawns, but they are pretty universal when it comes to noise cancelation. The plug is a standard audio aux cable

No, These are noise isolating earbuds, not canceling ones; However, if you have any amount of sound playing into them you will have a very hard time hearing around you. With these at a moderate volume I have stood right next to a lawn mower and only managed to hear it quietly under the music I was listening to.

No, they don't block out sound as well as some other headphones. Not recommended for mowing the lawn.

Well, the noise cancelling is not on the order of a pair of Bose earbuds but they are pretty effective and they adequately plug your ears. I would say that you would be able to listen quite nicely while mowing.

haven't tried that yet, but while working out, and it gets pretty noisy, I can't here the other machines while I'm listening, so I'd rate them about an 8 on noise cancelling. I'm thinking they would do just fine.

They are overkill for lawn mowing, but since they are not expensive it doesn't matter. The only thing you want to consider is they do get hot if you mow in hot climate. For only lawn mowing I would use an ear plug instead. These are more for heavy duty use like shooting, where a high dBa noise reduction is needed & the entire ear needs covering (to prevent pressure transmission through ear bones).

Yes, I use for Mowing on my "zero turn" mower. Work very well. Plug size- same size plug as on my Iphone, I listen to music on my phone as I mow. I have been very inpressed with "ear muffs", work very well for noise reduction or you can turn volumn up if you need to hear something. With volumn turned up, they still stop loud noises as a gunshot would be.

Not close to house unless you like to listen to a lawn mower running.. would be OK if only run once in awhile.
