Are they loud enough for jogging on a very busy street with trucks and busses going by constantly? I like the safety but will be fighting truck noise

these headphones allow you to hear ambient noise as well as the music. they are safer in traffic areas because they keep the user connected to the sound around them. so they are not intended to drown out surrounding noise.

The set kind of mixes the music and the environmental noises (which is the reason for safety---you're aware of around you), with the obvious downside of lower isolation. If you turn up the volume too much, you'll feel the movement of the headphones on your temples and it can be disorienting, so I don't suggest it.

depends on the power of the player the phones are plugged into. They can be unbearable loud if the player has the power.

Music should be fine. The earplugs seal in your ear. That combined with the noise cancelling effect should allow you to be oblivious to all outside noise. My 700 set did the trick and they didn't have the noise cancellation feature. I drive an altima which can be pretty loud on the highway. I use one earplug and can easily hear whoever I'm talking to. If you are on public transit you may be better using both earplugs (1 will work but I personally would be distracted by the noise). The only downside to using both earplugs is that it can be difficult to control the volume and tone of your voice. But i love these. Makes hands free calling very easy! Music should be fine.

Not really. They allow you to hear what's around you, better for running outside. Though they get pretty loud and will drown out a loud gym, no problem.

yes, these are great for running because of the over the ear design. I run and lift weights and they sound awesome and stay in your ear. They are also great on an airplane since it shuts out a lot of the cabin noise. So glad I took a chance on a name brand that I've never heard of!

Yes, they are great. They stay in place and are comfortable for even the longest runs but remember running with any sound isolating earphones or headphones blocks out all surrounding noise which can be dangerous in cities and other areas where you should be alert.

They're not much at isolating your ears from external sound. For me, that's a plus as I ride mass transit and walk busy streets.

These are fine for a truck. They create a very nice rumble. At first they have a bit of a drone sound inside the vehicle, but once the mufflers have been ran for a while the drone starts to quiet down leaving deep rumble. When I installed these on my 91 Mustang GT they sounded great, but if you tend to open it up a lot such as racing light to light, you will find these mufflers can be quite loud then and will mostly attract law enforcement for several blocks around.

They are terrible in high noise areas. They are intended so that you hear ambient noise. I cannot hear well even when running along a busy road.

It will depend on the volume level. They are not noise cancelling but do keep out some of the ambient noise. Stay alert and stay safe.

They are much more comfortable than wearing either "on" the ear or "over" the ear head phones for long periods. They do not block extraneous sounds from being heard. This is either good or bad depending on the conditions. Good if you re walking and want to be aware of walkers or runners coming up behind you but not so good if you want to block out conversations of fellow workers in open areas.

You won't get great sound at high speed or in loud traffic, but it will be as good or better than using earbud headphones in similar conditions--and safer because you'll hear the traffic around you more clearly.

No. You'd probably want IEMs for jogging. Headphone looks weird not to mention these are quite uncomfortable/hot to wear.

I wear them when I walk run in my neighborhood. They get a little sweaty but sound way better than ear buds and I haven't had any performance issues with them. They stay put.

For running they are great but for the gym they can get in the way. I use my earbuds at the gym.

No, you can still hear background noise, which is good especially if you street run. Depending on the device, I used 7 Th generation nano, they can play pretty loud. As I mentioned they are great but not if you wear glasses, which I do.

They are the most noise blocking head phones I've ever owned. That's not to say they're 100% noise proof. But you'll really have to try and hear outside noises.

I don't jog, or run, however, I do walk, working in the back yard, hauling mulch back and forth etc. I love them. Once you get them positioned in your ear you are off and probably running!
