Be advised, ambient noise is amplified in the same way as a seashell over the ear does.

In fact, I feel as if they actually amplify the ambient noise at the gym - particularly the machines and that horrid spin class instructor who bellows like the exorcist!

There is little isolation from ambient noise but that's not an issue watching YouTube videos.

I plan to use them on future plane trips, so the folding feature and ear coverage to help block out the ambient noise is very important.

love love love these, no leakage and very little ambient noise gets in

Also, just to let you know, the earpads are made of a material that will probably deteriorate as they get older

These broke as we pulled then out of the box

Fit just right, not too tight on the ears, but not too lose as to fall off

They would also work well when you are trying to not bother others such as in the office, bedtime, you name it

He finds them comfortable and the sound quality is as good as to be expected
