I like them more than cancelling ones because: generally better sound quality, and noise-cancelling doesn't necessarily reduce the dB level of noise

hitting your ears. generally they average the background noise over some period, and produce an inverse wave, but they can't respond to fluctuations and variances in background noise, so a lot of it still gets through.

with the in-ear isolating ones, I'm blocking almost all the noise that isn't coming through the headphones.
