Is the noise cancelling feature apply to the microphone or just the earbuds or both?

I'm not sure if it applies to the microphone or not, but the earbuds are great at reducing ambient noise.

They are only noise cancelling as much as anything else that plugs up your ear. There isn't much external noise when playing music, however. Overall they were decent ear-buds for the money; just make sure they are the full item, rather than the OEM variety, as those only come with one set of silicone inserts and may not fit all ear types!

It all depends on the volume I set it on and if it is too noisy around me. They are pretty good in a normal scenario; that includes the noise canceling.

No. They don't have dedicated noise cancelling mode. But they fit so snugly in my ears that the noise is dramatically reduced.

Noise canceling not certain if that is a claimed feature, but because they are over the ear they do reduce surrounding noise , greatly. I've worn them at the gym, work and cautiously when skateboarding and they completely wipe out sounds

No, microphone, and these are not noise cancelling. But, they Sound Very Good.

No not noise cancelling...They are somewhat basic headphones but just clear sound.

I would say about 90 percent of the outside noise is cancelled by the headphones but there is no difference when you turn on the noise canceling feature.

Occasionally the original set up indicates some of the features are overstated. I do not believe these are noise canceling and also could not find that in the product listing. These particular units are not.

You do not need an audio input to use the noise canceling feature. When I am sitting at my computer, and don't have any audio going to the headphones they will nearly cancel all the noise of my computer fan. There is a touch of hiss, but it is significantly less than the noise the fan makes.

The ones I have are in my opinion not noise-cancelling. They are just simple high quality headphones.

I don't believe their is "active" noise cancelling. However those plugs are pretty snug in the ear and the sound is pretty loud enough to counteract any outside interference. I've never found noise cancelling effective on a plane anyway because I can still feel the hum of the engines anyway.

No microphone and I don't believe it's noise cancelling in the "Records sounds and plays back inverted sound waves to cancel out said sounds" sense but it did block out most noise naturally.

Usually the noise cancelling headphones (including those) are mostly for low-frequency noise (like airplane or street noise, or computer fan, etc), so they don't protect from chatter much. In fact, in airplane it's easier to hear what people say in headphones than without them.

You bet. The noise cancelling feature works all by itself, without plugging it into anything. It certainly does not drown everything out but it makes a difference!

You can use them with noise cancelling turned off. Just like a normal headset.

Not really noise cancelling. They are good and my son loves the pair I bought him....and they do cancel out a fair amount of noise but I am not sure they would be sold on that aspect.
