I think the head phones are defective. I sent mine back because they didn't work on my phone, iPad, and other devices.

Your Phiaton has the same infuriating defect as my first one!! It's not your phone. And the replacement that Amazon sent is defective in a different way (reported by other users) where it amplifies the background noise when activated!! Their off-shore manufacturer is awful - spoiling what would be a great product. Send yours back to Amazon for a refund. Don't pin your hopes on a replacement working right.

By any chance, when you activate it, does it just sound like moderate white noise, but you still hear what's going on outside of the earbuds? Because I have that problem as well, and I too have an Android. The noise-cancellation isn't all that great. If anything, it makes the sound quality worse. Why the noise-cancellation doesn't work well, I don't know. I'll just say the quality of the earbuds isn't the best.

I am using them on my Galaxy S2 running Jelly Bean & have no problems hearing them with noise cancellation on. Did you try inserting new batteries. Also do you see a red light on your ear buds when noise cancellation is on? The buds plug into a standard headphone jack & have nothing to do with the phone OS. If you can hear other headphones on your phone fine, but not the NC20s, then just return them & ask for a replacement.

I have tried with my Sony-Erickson Android phone and had no problem with getting music playing through YouTube with NC turned on or off.I don't know what phone you have, and whether the earphone/mic jack is completely compatible with mine and the PS's stereo plug.Does it work with an ordinary stereo earbud or external headphone (not one that might have come with the phone, and which does not have the 4-ring microphone/earphone plug)? Does it work with the PS 20 when noise cancelling is turned off? Does it work with another device like a radio or simple MP3 player?

Sorry, I've never used it with any smartphone, just a Sansa MP3 player, hence I cannot comment.

I use android (htc one) and the the functions are limited to where the volume doesn't change when the earbuds are used. Click for pause/play, answering/ending phonecalls as well as the mic works perfectly fine. I'm not missing the volume function too much so I'm happy with them, and I bought them in January. Hope this helps

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!

No, according to everything I've read, you can select either noise cancellation OR amplification; not both at the same time. BTW, you can prove this by switching between NC and AMP with no input. When you select NC from "off," you can hear the noise being reduced. When you switch to AMP from NC, the background noise increases.

No it's not active noise canceling but I can barely hear some yelling at me when I have these on (yes I've had people yelling around me lol)

As most (all?) headphones with active noise cancellation, they mainly filter out low frequency noise (like traffic sound, fan sound and airplane). That means that they are not so good with filtering out speech and tv.People who want to filter out those sounds usually buy headphone with passive "mechanical" soundproof. (For example Direc Sound EX-29)

They have a play/pause function near the mic that should work, at least it works for my Android, but no such luck for the volume on there.

My father-in-law had one of these phones. We talk with him often without any noise. This probably is caused by some local interference. Try using it in a different location.

You would be correct that there is no noise cancellation. Basically noise reduction allows you to listen loudly without disturbing others around you.

U have to take off the vibrate and u can put on silent mode. Go to setting take it off of vibrate

You probably have the mute button turned "on" on the device between your headset and the phone.

I have the opposite. It's too quiet for my Panasonic phone. Haha. In my experience if it's staticky, then the male end is either turning or the jack is getting worn. I have my wire taped onto the side of my phone so it doesn't move. Tacky? Yes. Helpful? Yes. I figure it's the lesser of 2 evils. I'd rather deal with audio issues than hold the phone to my ear for an hour. It's annoying I know, but that's how I got it to work. Wish my audio was too loud. Did you try and lower the handset volume on your phone? Usually there is a disc to press downwards or a side volume button?

I had this problem. The person on the other end of my call always complained of hearing a delay/echo when speaking. I turned off noise suppression (settings&gt;networks tab&gt;call&gt;noise suppression) and poof, no more complaints. I had had this phone for only a couple days at that point so I'm not sure if it was really something to do with the case, or just something quirky with the phone.

I have the same issue with my HTC One M8 but then I realized that it has to do with the WiFi. I turned it off and it sounded clear afterwards. Try that out.

I use the noise cancelation feature on planes all of the time and I have never heard that. Maybe the cable is bad or a bad connection maybe? Does it crackle if you twist the mini plug on the headphone side or phone/ipod side? They definitely should not do that. Maybe, maybe bad batteries could cause that too.

Me too. Even when the volume is turned down to 0, the device is still note muted
