Is the noise cancellation feature worth the extra cost?

I only use the device in the car driving back and forth to work so there is not alot of noise to start with. I would pay the extra because I can here better when using the device.

Yes. This is the best bluetooth I've ever had. Like it so much when I lost my 1st one, bought a 2nd one. Really like how it sits against your ear and doesn't have to go inside your ear.

I have tried many different bluetooth devises over the years, and this is by far the best. It has very good noise canceling capabilities, and the clarity for me and the person I am talking to is excellent. It is definitely worth the extra cost.

I'm in the same boat. I'm reviewing headphone sets primarily based on their noise cancellation abilities -- I don't even need audio. Recommendations would be welcome.

I got a pair of these around Christmas time... as far as I know they're the same as the ones that are more expensive. Mine does have the switch for noise cancelling.

I cannot understand why you would want to? Noise-cancellation is very helpful and eliminates background distractions when talking to other people online. Again, it's why Sennheiser is the best out there.

Oh no. Noise canceling cans are typically expensive. If that is what you're looking for maybe the crusher will fit that category as I am looking forward to buying them next

No, not sound cancelling. Still, they do pretty good job in isolation from ambient sound.

I really never got that far since both pairs were defective. I did try one that I was able to install batteries and the noise cancelling was minimal at best, even with the feature turned on. Hope that helps with your choice.

I will go for noise cancelling than bluetooth as that's an experience over just connectivity and have heard that you loose a bit of sound quality, when you spending this kinda money and loosing sound quality for bluetooth then you can buy cheaper and get the same out. just my point of view.

You get plenty of earplugs... When you find the one suitable for you, noise cancellation is very good... But just buy, if you get them under 130 dollar, otherwise you get the same quality for less

I did use it on airplane and noise isolation was acceptable. It is not the same as active noise cancellation but if you keep volume high enough and use right tips, you should be able to achieve decent isolation

The noise canceling feature is claimed to preform very well. It has 3 microphones that optimize your voice for best results. I find the mute button easily located on the boom stick very convenient to mute out unwanted background noise quickly.

I don't think it has any special noise cancellation mechanism built into it (I may be wrong). But, though it is omnidirectional, when held near to mouth (like on collar), it worked well for me on my Skype calls. Unfortunately, the cord joint is delicate and broke after some months of use..(must admit I was a bit careless as well)

The pair of head phones do not have noise canceling. I could hear the television from wearing it, but if you are listening to anything, the surround sound can help in a way.

No, not really. If they have a good fit in the ear canal, there is some noise reduction but I would not say it is significant. Make sure to know that the NC does not cancel out talking "noise", it does its best work canceling out lower frequencies (such as on an airplane).

Not actively. There is no noise cancellation. However, as the padding fits around the ear, most things are muffled. At a reasonable volume, you will not hear someone talking to you until about the third time they shout your name.

Very good overall quality for mic sound, not 100% sure about noise cancellation...I do not believe so.

To be honest, the long cord gets pretty annoying, and the control talk is only useful if you plan on using them with a phone. Which I personally would not do. I have actually seen people answer their phone with their beats on and proceed to talk like they are on a loud street corner with trains and all other sorts of noise happening when in reality they are standing at a quiet bus-stop in the morning yelling like they're insane. Noise cancelling headphones will do that when you can't hear yourself speak.So no, they really aren't worth it. Any other cord will do.
