How is the quality of the noise-cancelling mic? I need to use it for calls and i work from home, so will it block out the dogs barking?

It's actually quite good, especially when working from home. If you will be on a conference call, you should probably not be in the same room as the dogs, just to be on the safe side. I recommend this item.

I bought these for the exact same reasons (except for the barking dogs). I haven't been impressed or happy with them, Sound quality is bad and People I talk to have difficulties hearing me. I stopped using them.

The Blackwire C720-M's noise-cancelling mic does not block out barking dogs...I have a dog and when he barks people on the call can hear him.

Yes if you are in a quiet area. Any background noise will negatively affect the microphones performance. ~G

It is passive noise canceling as far as I can tell but the mic is directional and I have never had any issues with echo or background noise, even in airports and in vehicles.

Glad to help...People often see to be able to tell when I am using the headphones....when in low to med noise environments the output is great. Seemingly the headphones do not defeat exterior noise so the result is often a mixture of everything that is going on my side of the call. Functionality is awesome...as long as you're in an enviro that is not noisy you will love 'em.

The noise cancellation is great and the leakage is very minimum. Someone will have to come direct and yell in order to get your attention. however, the great cancellation is also supported by the protection layer on the ear muffs which needs to be dry at ALL times. use dry rag to take off slight moister including (sweat) ever so often because it will peel off the protection.Please do dot worry about sound, it is 100% great. I bought one..... AND I LOVE IT!!!!

yes the mics are very good! I have had mine for half a year so far, no loss in quality. but keep the small one in a memorable place.p.s it would be a good idea to SEW the ear padding down, otherwise it will come off within 2 weeks. (that is literally the only problem, if you sew it early, you will never have to worry about the padding)better than the expensive turtle beach or other brands that I've tried, that's for sure!

Hello Mike, I do not like the microphone.. You can hear the people talking to you but the people on the other end cannot hear you like your mike is muted. If you unplug it from your computer for 15 seconds the mike will work for another couple of hours then unplug it again then will work again. I wish this was a different answer for you but its how it works for me.

The noise canceling of the microphone capsule for rejecting background noise is excellent. These microphones are great for speech recognition when combined with an external USB Sound card.KnowBrainer, Inc.

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!

Hi Memymine, this headset has a noise canceling microphone to help reduce background noise. Also there is an easy mute button on the earpiece

I've never had any complaints from others about background noise when I've used my mic. But I don't know how much noise you may have to deal with.

Yeah, that's the mic used for noise cancellation, I believe; it picks up the ambient noise around you without picking up your voice so it knows what's "not you talking".

Actually, I'd say it doesn't do that great of a job blocking outside noise. On a scale of 1-10, I would give it a 4. Mostly it only lets louder noises in, but when nothing is going on ingame or if there is no music, you can hear others talking quite clearly. That being said, it runs pretty much silent when on someone's head. When my ears get a bit achy, I'll set them on the table next to me, and I can listen to whatever pretty easily. HOWEVER, as soon as it is on a person's head, nobody but the wearer (or people really really close, when at high volumes) can hear the content. Also, in case you wanted to know, the directional mic does a great job at reducing accidental noise traffic transmission. Hop this all helps.

My friends seem to have no problem with my mic. If you'd heard some of their headset mics you'd probably be quite satisfied with it too. For example, the Alienware headset doesn't have any noise cancellation and picks up a great amount of background noise, and the Razer Kraken Pro has great sound quality but a poor quality mic. Those 2 are the main ones everyone i've seen is buying, I have seen a great many other mics and this one so far beats them all.=)In my opinion, if you have the black shark's mic the correct distance away from your mouth, its sound quality is unbeatable next to a singing mic or something...

I have found the sound quality to be very good with background noise, including wind. It does a good job canceling out everything but voice.

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

It's a really nice mic for a headset. There's a very slight hissing that I'm told only I notice (Because I'm listening for it), but otherwise it's super clear; Doesn't pick up sounds like my AC at all.
