How is the isolation in these headphones? Do they block much conversation from people around you?

Better than open back 'phones, but no, not that great. Best used in a quiet room where you can sit still (because there's also some cord noise).

Do these headphones require a amplifier?

In the sense that all wired headphones do, yes. They are not self-amplified like Bluetooth headphones are. But they will work OK with the amp found in ordinary equipment like phones and computers. Certainly they will benefit from higher quality DACs, or more power, or cleaner electronics, like any headphones would.

I just received these headphones. Are there left/right markings anywhere on them?

I wrapped a little piece of colored tape around the shell of the plug going into the left earcup to make it easier to identify.

length of chord plug-in?

The cord is 79-inches long, but I don't recommend these headphones. They gave me a bald spot on top of my head from about 8 hours of use a day for weeks. I had to buy new headphones in a different brand.
