Yes, they have a silicone bud that when pushed into the canal, forms a veyr
good seal (there are small vents to make sure your ears don't start bleeding
when you put in a techno MD or something).
These things DEFINITELY get rid of that outside noise. Again, the trick is
to lower the volume of the player so you don't damage your ears, because I
can could see that being a very easy thing to do if you have very loud
recordings.

I assume a lot of them must have some sort of level control, it's a very
handy feature. Yes I have an R900. I love the R900's ability to save audio
prefs on a disc-by-disc basis. Lets me tweak my MDs with recorded MP3s on
them so they sound pretty close to how a digital cd recording would.
Excellent player/recorder, the R900. Expensive, but worth it.

The trick with the EX's is that for some people your ear canal size falls
somewhere in between the three buds that it comes with, so there are
individuals who just plain can't use them. Luckily mine work great with the
normal pair of earbuds (they have a larger one for like freakin' elephants,
and a smaller one for little people). Once in, you hardly notice them
because they're so damn comfy. They're the most comfortable buds I've ever
used.
Another thing is you can't just have them pull one out of the box and let
you try them, essentially for sanitary reasons. It's a pretty penny to drop
on earbuds, but I LOVE mine, and whenever I play my MD for someone they're
always in awe of the buds as well as the player.
