does it seal out loud back ground noise such as loud music?

i bought this for my female friend and whe says it does to a degree or that is how she explained it. she said it doesn't magnify the music.

we couldn't get rid of a roaring background noise, which is almost unbearable.

I bought the sound amplifier for my dad to use as sort of a hearing aid. He reports that he is able to hear distant birds chirping and even the hum from a floresent light fixture. When he is around loud music, he simply turns the gain down. It works as advertised.

Sorry I don't know. He just used it to watch T.V. and there was no background noise at the time.

It does not seal out back ground noise. I amplifies all sounds. But for the money you can't beat this.

IT AMPLIFIES EVERYTHING, including background noise. I've gotten used to it though. Another downside is about 2 days ago the coating on the wire where it comes out of the housing is breaking through, the wire for the ear plug itself is fine, but only a matter of time before it breaks through. Please keep in mind I use it daily, 8-10 hours at a time so it gets handled very much. Would I do it again, probably not for what I need it for, which is an actual hearing aid.

No - it amplifies everything. I just ordered my 2nd one yesterday. Works great for me. ----DSB

Sorry, no. That is one thing about the amplifier is that it cannot differentiate sound, voices, and noise and does pick up all other voices and noises, even from other rooms. It is very powerful, but does work overall. for the affordable price, you may want to give it a try.

No, but they do shut out at least a good two thirds of external noise, so it's wrong to use them when you need to be aware of outside sounds.

It muffles the noise quite a bit. The clarity of the sound is definitely affected.

While not good on noise isolation it definately does not snag. I use mine while biking and it lets me hear the traffic.

no but during you're recording sessions it will cancel out background noise to the point where only your voice is heard

For me and other people it does. I live on a street that is very busy with loud traffic and at night the noise from the traffic is distracting and annoying. The sound that I play on the EC-B150, ocean waves, blocks out or hides the traffic noise that is distracting to me allowing me to fall asleep faster. I enjoy the sound from the radio and after awhile I do not hear it.

Nope. The screen is like a vinyl sheet and not porous so the sound will be blocked.

Not positive about blocking out road construction, but this little machine can get very loud. I'm betting it would drown out that noise outside.

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

There's some sound leak but it all depends how loud you listen to the music. Hope this helps

NO! it does not. Don't spend your money on this if that's what you want. I use this daily and it does not cancel any noise whatsoever. I can still hear noises outside on all types of music(Rock,Jazz,Classical,etc).

If you mean noise around the room, not what you're listening to, then yes. It blocks out quite a bit of sound from around you.

If it does, it is closer to 10%. In my car it is very minor difference between plugging straight in or using the ground loop isolator. Most of the noise cut out for me is just extra static.

It will to a certain degree, but it doesn't do a good job with high frequencies. You can probably layer and make it air tight so it'll be muffled.

Thanks for the reply,Does it only mask other people's music if you have music on? Like Bradley I want mostly noise cancelation, not too much worried about music. Thanks again

No....it amplify the sound but does not reduce it. For what you need, you can simply buy safety air plugs from a drug store for only a few dollars. Hope this helps.

It's worth a try. I covered my living room wall with this to dampen neighbor's noise. It dampens the noise from outside by maybe 20-30 percent.
