Do noise canceling & sound isolating work if I'm not playing any music? I want to use over-ear noise-canceling headphones when I'm studying, without music. This is in addition to excellent music definition (specially for classical music).

It works, just don't expect complete silence. But it does a good job of blocking a lot of the outside noise out. You can still hear some though.

It depends on the sound. I use my headphones for studying without music too. They cancel noises like the shower running or people being loud outside, but if my mom is watching TV two feet away from me I still hear every word even though it may sound muted.

Yes, as long as your headphones are turned on and the sound canceling feature is active, sounds are muffled or canceled.
