how is the noise cancellation on this device for voice calls? I drive a lot on the highway and need a unit that will cancel highway noise

It's the best unit on the market in my opinion but the overall sound is contingent on the interior noise level of your vehicle.

I use my Parrot all the time; however, when on the highway, I must ensure that my windows are closed when using the device.

as long as you drive with your windows closed it will work fine. on the road with the windows down it might bother your hearing but as long as i concern , it is no problem for the people on the other side of the call.

Perhaps someone can post the noise reduction rating here but if it is any help the reduction seems to be equal to a pilot headset I have used. Not the noise reduction type but just the mechanical supression. Also I have to take it off to start the home gas tools since I cannot hear the initial pops as it is starting so I can shut off the chokes. Caution though, you probably can turn the radio up too loud and negate the whole purpose! Chuckle

Sorry, it is not noise canceling. It has very good volume and the padding keeps the noise out in a great way, but not noise canceling, that refers to a electronic option that is not available on this unit. I still love mine.

Hi Ryan,I have small ears and I have the same problem with earbuds.This doesn't go all the way in the ear canal,so it works great.I'm a truck driver,so I spend alot of time on the phone in a loud enviroment.I never have any complaints about background noise,which I have had with prior headsets.Also,it has a great volume controll.I really think it'll work great for you.It comes with 3 sizes of ear pieces,and even tough I have a small ear canal,I found the medium was the best for me.Try it,I think you'll like it,and you sure can't beat this price.I paid $89.

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)

This is not same model as what I have. Mine is in ear head set.But it does not cancel out.(I tried with my husbands snore, )It does take some of the noise out but I think that is because noise isolateing ear cushion.I recommend you to buy good in ear plug( one that you can sqeeze to fit ear).Good luck

I echo the comments of the others...except I find the Phiatons to be pretty much just as comfortable. BUT...and this is a big BUT, only the Phiatons apparently have noise cancellation for the mic ALSO. With the BOSE, the party I'm calling on the phone still can't hear me in my noisy car. This was a deal breaker and I returned the BOSE. When I called BOSE to inquire about why the mic didn't have noise canceling when the earbuds clearly had awesome noise cancellation, they tried to convince me that it would me then that the BOSE wouldn't be considered "hands-free" from a legal standpoint. Obviously, the CSR couldn't explain why that made a difference. I echo the comments of the others...except I find the Phiatons to be pretty much just as comfortable.

Yes and no. The do not have one for speaking into like for a telephone but the active noise cancellation work by listing to the outside noise and creating an inverted signal of the noise within certain frequency ranges. Since the circuitry has to filter by frequency before inverting the signal it's not perfect but still pretty good.

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

I haven't had a chance to really test this yet. Suggest you check out the Plantronics Voyager Edge. It has a larger boom than the Jawbone, but all the reviews I read said it was better at noise cancellation, and it holds a charge longer. I think the Jawbone is better for an office worker without as much need for top notch NC. Hope that helps.

I don't like to use it when is hooked up to the radio. The person on the other line will hear you far or not hear you at all. It will depend on how far is your cell phone for you to speak into it. I would purchase one that has an external microphone that you can install to your visor that you can speak into.Works well to listen, charge, cell/I-pod and great to use with navigation GPS.Good luck

I can hear the GPS voice loud and clear. It is sent through my hardwired headset. Even if it wasn't, I could probably hear it at full volume. You can simply un-latch the unit from the bike and lock it into the car window mount. I've had no problems using it on both types of vehicles.

I have not had any complaint, but I will close my windows or turn down the AC fan during a call. The main reason for that is I have to turn down the volume on my radio. Incoming calls come in much louder than what I am listening to. My speakers are not the best, worn OEM speakers, they get over driven easily. I have the mic/button mounted on my rear view mirror and it works great.

My 760 blue tooth is just fine even in heavy traffic and I am hard of hearing. I use it all the time. LOVE it!

No. I use it to make and receive phone calls when driving. For that purpose it is excellent. The sound quality is good on both ends. There is plenty of volume on in coming calls.

While not good on noise isolation it definately does not snag. I use mine while biking and it lets me hear the traffic.

It reduces background noise on outgoing convresation.....you will hear what ever is sent on incoming calls....Very clear bluetooth...Tom
