how much noise is cancelled?

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.

The won't cancel noises like people talking behind you, a TV near you. This is for cancelling slow noises far away from you.

Almost none!! Maybe a 15% reduction. So, don't buy them for any noise reduction. They are worthless!!

How much? Difficult question to quantify. I bought the headphones to be able to watch movies on my Kindle Fire while on long trips from Hawaii to the Mainland. They work very well at blocking the engine noise but not so good when it comes to crying babies. I am quite happy with them.

hi, I turned it up as much as could( I live in an apartment complex). I did not notice any disturbances. unfortunately I cannot tell what decibels it was.

Not 100%. But it depends on the distance and noise level. I would say 80% of the noise is blocked. It is worth the price.

hi! i now there is the "B" version that doesnt have as good noice cancellation as this one...could you tell me if is this the right version that i want?

You probably won't be able to hear anyone call your name, even at low volume, these speakers are almost 100% noise canceling! :)

I have noticed this behavior before, it is entirely normal for any (if not all) headphones that use active noise cancellation. Generally, the cancellation sound is unnoticeable or very faint (and goes away with music, speaking, etc...). I have noticed that while rare (for me) the low-grade noise that you hear from the NC is turned on can raise in pitch slightly. Moving to a different part of the building or even room can help if this occurs.

No, according to everything I've read, you can select either noise cancellation OR amplification; not both at the same time.

You can move the Sound Slider to the "closed" position to block outside noise. Doing this will effectively reduce most outside noise.

Hi Victor,While I haven't had as good a luck with the noise cancellation, I haven't been in any environments as noisy as yours. I do know others have had good experience and with my previous generations of this headset, it has been the best of anything offered and the current gen is the same. I have used other makes and their noise cancellation isn't as good.

Not particularly. I used it for sanding and the noise needs to be lessened with earplugs.

Not total cancellation. They block out most noise, but no they don't offer active noise cancellation.

There is not much background noise from the unit. It is very clear. We use it daily on the back porch and have no issues.

Patricia, Noise cancellation works its magic by sampling an overall background noise level by using built in microphones in each earpiece then uses circuitry to electronically invert the signal to the exact opposite of what it hears, thus cancelling out the noise. Unfortunately abrupt short term loud noises aren't effectively cancelled out. Background fan noises, crowd noise, etc get cancelled out very well. Snoring, since it is an abrupt and short term noise, is less likely to be cancelled out.

Hello, Yes, I suggest you ensure you have a voice recorder with noice canceling capability. I used a recorder without that feature and the quality of recording was very difficult. I highly recommend this little device. Good Luck!

I don't know about noise cancellation, but my friend has the exact same headset and the sound quality coming from him sounds as good or better then everyone else.

My understanding of Noise Reduction is for the MIC. It reduces background noise that the Mic picks up.

Check the manual. There is an automatic filter to cancel out those annoying noises...works pretty well for us. Good luck!
