Is 'noise isolation' the same as 'Hearing Protection rated at 25' that you get from hearing protection products such as safety headphone or ear plugs?

I have Etymotic ear plugs for use at concerts and they fit/sound the same with no music playing but I'm unsure of the measurement you're using.

I'm not sure if noise isolation is the same as hearing protection, but I do use them when operating my riding lawnmower and my gas chainsaw, and that sound is minimized to where I can hear and enjoy music from my ipod. When the music is not playing the sound is lessened so much that many times I have to pull out 1 plug so I can tell when the chainsaw/mower starts so I can adjust the choke to complete the start.

Very similar. I wear while riding motorcycle. Most wind noise is gone, I don't have to turn up music loud to hear well, that way I'm not oblivious to traffic

Noise isolation only keeps background noise from ruining the sound of your music.

Well obviously it would depend on many factors. How close are you to the fireworks? These earmuffs do dampen the sound a bit, but just not very well. If you are very close to the fireworks, then I would say do not buy these and get a pair of $20 with 25+ decibal rating. If you are far away, maybe these will do? Personally I don't need earmuffs for fireworks, so maybe someone else can provide a better answer, as I bought these for shooting and they did not work out for my wife due to poor sound suppression.

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.

The noise isolation is provided by the interchangeable foam or plastic plugs; that part that is actually inserted into your ear. They are never not isolating sound. This isn't active noise cancelling that can be turned on and off and requires power. These ear buds are more like simple ear plugs an industrial worker might use, but with a high-quality ear bud speaker embedded behind them.

If I remember correctly they are around 25db. (About the same as ear plugs)That's assuming that you have a snug fit.

It depends what kind of hearing protection you want. If your using foam plugs or even foam plugs with string or small plastic headband I would say yes. If your using a full size headset style hearing protection even though I have never tried I would say no.

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.

Hi, These ear plugs are meant to reduce the decibel levels by 29 dBA. So if you were working in an environment of 100 db the effective sound level at your ears would be 71 dBA. BUT according to OSHA you shouldn't assume the maximum amount of reduction, they say as a safe rule of thumb that you should consider the reduction to be only 50% of the listed reduction. So in the case of these ear plugs where the dBA is 29 according to OSHA you should consider them to be good for only 15 dBA. So to go back to your question, of course they would work in a 29 to 32 dBA environment. To give you an idea what sounds are at what dBA's - 20 dBA is Whispers or rustling leaves, 40 dBA is a Library, 60 dBA is typical office conversations, 80 dBA is a Garbage Disposal running or a Dishwasher, 90 dBA is a Food Blender or Busy Street, 100 dBA is a Jackhammer, Power Mower, an Outboard Motor on a boat, 120 dBA is Live Rock Music or a Chain Saw. Hope this helps...

I wear mine to work. Drilling, shaker machines it blocks the noise but I can still hear people talk to me, so it cuts the loud noise but still can hear normal sounds. Must protect your hearing as it will not come back. Also on this set of ear plugs, I acciently washed and dryed them, they are still good and didn't fall apart. I use the gold plugs or prongs that come with plugs seem to be better in blocking out harsh sounds.

This by far one of the best and commonly seen at the range ear muff protectors. I have never had an issue with mine and love the slim profile they have compared to other models on the market. So, yes these definitely dampen the noise of every crack of gunshots far and near using a technology that dampens any noise over a certain decibel allowing you to hold conversations with others without yelling or taking if you ear protection. You can also use these with an mp3, iPhone, cellphone and listen to music if you'd like while shooting with the provided plug.

Not very high. These are cheap, Chinese made ear protection. I use them with my lawn mower and other stuff like that in the garage. If you need some serious noise cancellation for stuff like shooting guns, or anything construction related, then I would buy a different pair.

Just for the record, earmuffs don't HAVE decibels, they ATTENUATE (reduce) sound pressure levels. This reduction is expressed in dB by what's know as the NRR (noise reduction rating). For electronic earmuffs, this one is pretty high at 25 dBs - if the manufacturer's rating can be believed. The thinner, lighter ones are usually around 22 dB, and the very expensive ones can be as high as 30 dBs. The non-electronic ones are much cheaper and reduce sound by much more than the electronic ones (except for the super expensive ones).

The Bluedio R+ headphones are passive noise cancelling. They do not have active electronic noise canceling like some headsets but the headset does block out quite a bit of noise by virtue of design. If you are in need of a headphone for hearing protection rather than just music listening I would suggest a pair of active noise cancelling headphones.

Noise cancelling, which actively cancels out incoming sounds, is not found on this headset. Noise isolating, which passively blocks incoming sounds, is what this set of headphone does, and it does a descent job. You can still hear external sound, but it's muffled. I used these on a plane recently and they worked just fine. I would give these a 7 or 8 on a scale of 1 (hear all external noise) to 10 (hear no external noise).

Not that good really, that will also depend how you wear them in our ears and which in-ear tips size(4 size available).With the music playing loud you may not hear outside noise. I would say isolation is about 50%, enough for medium noise environment.
