Indeed yes. Noise-isolating headphones will keep the user from sound distraction when operating in a noisy surrounding. It all depends on the particular features of the noise-isolating headphones. Some can isolate 30 decibels of noise while others can isolate to a range of 60 decibels. The noise-isolating headphones prevent sound leakage and ensure that you listen or record your music quietly without making noise to the person sitting next to you.
