They don't provide any isolation to speak of. Sound quality was rather mediocre. I returned them.

but arent they closed? how can they not isolate a little! any examples?

The plastic is quite thin, and there are small vents. It does help sound from leaking out, but doesn't do much to reduce ambient noise.
