well i just read soemthing that said bose's reduce only 20db, less then reg. earplugs but sure enough, the article says 37db.........WOW
Another reason in-ear headphones have the upper hand on formal headphones is sound isolation. Sure, you can find noise suppressant headphones like Bose's highly touted QuietComfort2, but even those will produce only a 20-decibel reduction. The Shure E3cs with foam ear insets will almost flat out adjourn all outside noise, offering a 93% sound reduction of 37 decibels. To experience a similar effect, try plugging your ears using your fingers. This is about the degree at which the E3cs eliminate outside sound.
