Fairly much for not non-isolating phones.
Yes, yes, and yes.

as long as they allow for a comfortable bus ride, then i'm good. i don't want to completely silence out the outside world.

Like all the semi-canalphones, your isolation from the outside world will also depend heavily upon the type of music you listen to. Example: Trance/Techno or Rock/Pop would help drown things out extremely well.

I had the EX71's and they did a very good job of drowing out the sounds of the underground (tube, not the song)

They were good phones very comfortable as are the 81's which my mates has

Enjoy
