Nice, you never say what earphones you bought. The guy is asking something because he needs some help.

I tried 3 supposed isolating ear phones, cause when riding my motorcycle I couldnt hear my ipod above the wind noise, even with a fullface helmet. I finally paid about 90 bucks for a pair that have changable ear buds, with one set, the only set i use, is made of memory foam like the ear protection, that is wrapped around the tiny speaker cone. They shut off almost all outside windnoise and let the audio thru, at safe volume levels. good luck.

Personally I rank them a bit higher, others will say these don't have enough bass (I would strongly disagree) however to be honest I haven't used these in ~9months, I gave them to my fiance and bought some ATH-A900X's which are the same driver but with aluminium housing and sound a few notches above both.Both are fantastic headphones, but the M50's have a much flatter soundstage compared to the ATH-A700X's, I would also say that they are not as comfortable. Slightly more portable.

I use these headphones at the gym... Yeah you do hear some clanging and banging in the background when you aren't listening to music, but when you are, they're pretty isolated, the volume goes up quite a bit so that really eliminates much of the external sound. But these about 3 or 4 months back and don't really have any complaints, great buy for the price!

I just read your comments and was wondering which product you were talking about. I also have a hard time finding a bluetooth or head phones that stay on my ears. I have almost completely given up on a bluetooth, but was considering trying one of the bluetooth headsets that go behind your neck or over your head? Any suggestions?

Play with the audio settings. There are quite a few. Default settings sound poor (hollow,low volume) but can be adjusted to more than adequate. Cant remember orig settings, but can give you my AUDIO setup config: SRS TruSurround HD &lt;Off&gt; SRS TruVolume &lt;On&gt; Equalizer Settings &lt;OFF&gt; *important* Base &lt;75&gt; Treble &lt;50&gt; Make sure the EQ setting is not set to Rock, Pop or Disco (they sound like garbage). Setting it to OFF allows access to Base & Treble menu/adjustments. Overall the sound is above average for what you are paying. More than ample volume once you get the settings tweaked.

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....

Actually, for the moment I've decided to try a pair of plain earmuffs. Slightly more bulky and they don't have noise cancellation, but noise cancellation, as far as I can tell, primarily deals with deep noises, not high ones -- and I'm primarily concerned with higher noises. I've tried my roommate's pair of earmuffs and they seem to do the trick.Less than $20: 3M Peltor H10A Optime 105 Earmuff . They review very well.

I had a headphones like this one, they are just the headsets, i ever had. Now they are broken. They don't have nc, & they don't need it, because they have a very good noise cancelation, just by put him. Even better than phones that really have nc. They isolate almost perfectly the exterior sounds, if they are new, or not starting being old.I have now, the new model, sony mdr-1bt for 300 $, and the isolation is not sow good.I hope that i answered your question.

Oe2 leaks out music easily put I know it has more bass then the ae2. Oe2 are smaller and looks weird when putting the earphones on. I would go with ae2 just because more comfort and the sound quality on the vocals sounds better. And they do cancell noise even though they weren't made for that.

For noise isolation they work great, classical I find rather underwhelming. Perhaps due to the small or lack of sound-stage, although when I used them with a dac/amp on my PC it improved that aspect by a large amount. Still, I find them lacking in the classical genre and quite a few others, except perhaps hip-hop/electronic music which I don't listen to that much of anymore.

Sorry I didn't see this thread earlier. Probably not going to be of much help to OP now; but hopefully, it will be of help to someone interested in this topic. I own the 325is and would absolutely recommend them as a fantastic can for listening to music. Movies? - not so much. I have a pair of Audio-Technica ATH-A900 that I use for movies. Why? Comfort. I'm not saying the A900 is the best possible headphone for the job - it's just better than the 325. The A900 is a very good all-rounder - movies,games,music. The 325 is more of a bash you in the face rockin' kinda thing. Just my opinion. For headphone info, check out Head-Fi.

its not bad or noticeable. They are great but have weak Bass compared to what i am used to. I enjoy heavy deep bass. but then again its not for everyone. Besides that, the earphone were great with low chord noise.

There is a little but nothing too badIf you want little to no microphonics with much better isolation, I would go for the brainwavz s1. It sounds better overall tooBrainwavz S1 IEM Noise Isolating Earphones With Clearwavz Remote and Microphone for iPhone iPad iPod

Not sure what you are referring to... ambient sound being heard on the earphones or someone hearing the earphones sound while there are being used by someone else.. I bought our earphones to hear the quiet dialogues on television over the ambient noise of heater fans and snoring bull dogs. I also bought the earphones so our snoring bull dogs would not hear the television sound and wake up barking! They work great for both conditions. That and their sound reproduction for music, opera and jazz is just outstanding.. I would recommend them unconditionally.

I was afraid to answer in amazon because some ppl criticize my english. but , whocares I bought Creative aurvana 3 inear and air. for work out. Air is better you can use inear 3 for weight lifting but not recomend for running. I can hear every step and body movement. Of course . some ppl might use but not for me. i use air for my work out and use inear 3 for everything else. If you are serious music buff then I recommend something like K-701 or hd 600 as minimum. Speakers! If you can afford space, and money. Hope this help you and Happy holiday

Hi John, u clearly can save ur money because you get punchyer bass out of much cheaper earphones. This one is great in hearing the details, it feels like the iPod is connected to the brain directly "Super great details and presence" but overall is not the best comfort hearing solution and money wise is big waste if not used

Unfortunately these do not remove any of the background noise/music. It's irritating for those of us that have hearing deficiencies when the background noise/music is louder than the dialog...not sure why it's so popular to obscure the dialog. Remember when you could go to a movie and the dialog was louder than the background audio...wonder how we suffered through that?
