Does this unit "block" background noise in live recordings?

No there is no technology in there to "block" noise but it does an excellent job of catching what is happening in the microphone zone (which can be adjusted to various configurations) and everything I record is live -- you can see here first two samples https://soundcloud.com/kirya1990 and here with Guitar voice and bamboo flute https://soundcloud.com/krista-alway/krista-color-blindmp3

It's a recorder. It records all sounds..it has no idea what you consider 'background noise'.

Does not pick up any type of interference. This unit compares to pro audio quality gear. I would not listento my Car Stereo System without it!

It won't drown out a group of voices, and I suspect if volume is set too high, the speaker will distort sound. I do believe it would work for background music.

THe background noise is muffled but not completely drowned out. Hope this helps you :)

From my experience and from what I have been told there is more or less no background noise

Does this have a LINE-IN Recording function? (sorry for the repetition from the audio output section)

You should be hearing sounds coming from the device you're connected to, not the sounds you put into the device. You shouldn't hear yourself talk unless it's a play back of a recording...

No they don't block out noise. They work for me because I want to be aware of sound around me but I can still enjoy my music at the same time. I hope this helps you.

Since these are in ear headphones they do block external sounds but if you are looking for active noise cancellation, then the answer is no. Hope this helps.

@ +12db you will hear some noise, but for live work it's acceptable&gt; I would not use it for studio post production mix downs. Hope this was helpful.

Use Audacity. It's free and under the "Effect" menu, you can use the noise removal option which will take out all background noise.

It seems that it does, or at least reduces it. I never seem to notice any interfering noises with the audio mic recording on my video clips. But the mic works much better than one would think. I`m satisfied with the mic while the AF is active. Being outboard of the Camera`s housing, it seems to avoid internal adjustment noises and picks up the ambient sound you desire. But it is a great stereo mic for editing the sound quality for playback. Just give it a try, I`m sure you`ll be pleased.

They do not. Ambient noise, like voices, are not blocked at all. Even with music on loud you can still hear voices. Recommend Koss ur/29 as a much better low cost option - they are passive but much better than these.

Yes. I've used it well with my portable Tascam stereo recorder. It blocks out unwanted sound effectively.

It worked fine for me. However, don't expect this device to produce studio quality recordings.

The only way I know to reduce noise is by recording our music with the AUDACITY software with noise reducer can envelver all the noise of our Audible track.Sorry for my English

It totally depends on the unit. Mine won't play back audio without crackles here and there but others don't have that issue. A bit of a crap shoot unfortunately. I still use a different interface for recording for what that's worth.
