I would like to use these at a NASCAR race as ear protection and to be able to listen to the live broadcast on the radio. Is the volume sufficient?

They do block out outside noise very well and the volume level seems to be good. I had them on while I was riding on my lawn mower and I did not hear the engine and I was able to listen to radio stations without having the volume turned up the whole way. My personal opinion about using them at a NASCAR race, they would block out the car noise and you would be able to hear the race.

I use them in a boat boat engine room and haven't had trouble listening to music. I can't vouche for how loud that is compared to a NASCAR race but I feel it would be sufficient.

Not really. It's on the large side, and it's not noise canceling. They're open headphones, so people around you will hear what you're listening to if it's loud enough.

I tried these with one of our customers. .what I found was depending on how loud the car is you can have a little difficulty hearing even through ear buds etc. Also dont use a NASCAR style mic, use a IMSA style mic.They do not like the way the grounding of the NASCAR Style mics.are.Brian Performance 2Way.

I think they are better suited for that kind of low decibel use than sport-shooting. I have to agree, the cheap foamies are better than these expensive plugs.

I use mine for running, biking and cross country skiing with no problems. They fit well under a helmet or watch cap. I live in interior Alaska and have to keep them in a warm place before putting them on as the metal in the frame can give contact frostbite (like a burn blister) if I leave it exposed to outside temps too long and put it straight on. As long as you don't turn the volume up too loud, you should be able to hear cars or other people just fine. It will never be as safe as exercising on the road without them on, but I really enjoy having music or audio books while I exercise.

I would say they are on the ear - very comfortable. Volume output would be sufficient.

I use the earplugs for blocking out stage noise. I play in a band. The earphones have two pairs of inserts. One set blocks out more noise than the other. I like them as they filter the sound and some of the music comes through. My opinion is, I think they would work for you. You should be able to hopefully hear a honking horn and sirens, if need be. I am happy with them. Good luck.

On a scale of 1-10, I would say 5, I can listen to my music just fine, but if the surrounding noise is to loud, you won't be able to hear all the details of your audio. The volume of the sound is good, its not a earphone so if you're listening to anything on a very high volume it will be heard by others near you, but it won't be very clear. The volume on the headsets is good so you won't need to turn up the volume to enjoy your audio.

Yes, you may use the speakers or ear buds. My motorcycle is so loud that I have to use ear buds to protect my hearing let alone hear the music.

They won't prevent you from hearing loud noises like say a motorcycle or truck when your out jogging,walking, etc (which may be a good thing) but they do a decent job of letting you hear the music with minimum interference. I think they are worth the price. You can spend more for better earbuds but if your looking for decent sound without high price they are worth the money.

They are not as good as over the ear models, but still quite good. If you keep the volume very low, you hear surrounding noise, but at normal levels you won't hear much.

At this point I have used them only for listening through my CPU and volume has not been an issue. Reasonably comfortable for long periods. I hope to get to the big stereo soon, but have to rearrange the furniture first:)

I use these for gaming and don't have a problem communicating, as far as hearing myself, depends on how loud the game is really. At around medium volume Id say yea, you can hear yourself decently well. I haven't really paid much attention to this in the past so Im kinda guessing, Ill try it out tonight with special attention to this and give you an update. And just to add, these are amazing for gaming!

These will work perfect for what you are in need of. I wore them at a very loud NASCAR race this summer and had no problems hearing and understanding the radio broadcast. Further, with a set of strong batteries, I had no problems picking up the station either (even when moving about the facility). I would definitely recommend them for your game.

I am not a race fan, but seems to me that Nascar is already REALLY loud. These will help with hearing quiet background noise. Such as subtile wildlife noises on a quiet night. You may be looking for noise canceling headphones - that is NOT what these do. However the earphones with the electronic in the off position may help muffle the noise to some degree.

Old question, but for NASCAR and other VERY loud events where sound quality isn't as important, like shooting, a plug with a higher NRR is mandated. Like the disposable 32 dB plugs. Get those to preserve your hearing. Get these for concerts.

The volume is great. Can be too loud when it's on the back of your headrest. I don't think you will have a problems hearing your movies.
