Does this cancel background noise (wind rushing sound and feedback)?

Facing into the wind will cause wind noise. No way to avoid it other than turning your head slightly. Background noise will always be there because this device is an amplifier and if there is any background noise in your hearing range, it will be amplified and you will hear it. Using only one aid in one ear will give you amplification on the side the device is located in (ear). That's what it is supposed to do. I think the one big mistake people who suffer hearing loss is that a hearing amplifier (aid) is going to return you back to normal hearing. Such is not the case. The fact that you are able to hear better with such a device is what is important and you must tolerate some small lnconveniences. I think the purveyors of hearing aids lead people on to think they are going to be restored to normal. Forget being normal again. Just focus on the fact that with a amplifier (aid), you can make sense about what people are saying, which is why you sought aid in the first place End of lecture!!

You can move the Sound Slider to the "closed" position to block outside noise. Doing this will effectively reduce most outside noise.

I would say about 90 percent of the outside noise is cancelled by the headphones but there is no difference when you turn on the noise canceling feature.

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

Actually, not really. I haven't really observed much in the way of feedback or bleed-through. The mics are pretty sensitive to wind/breeze, though the windscreens help quite a bit. I've seen some people talk about cable noise affecting their recording but I also haven't really observed that myself either. The only real issue is heavy wind. That can be an issue, but it's really no different with any other mic I think. Minimizing touching of the earphones and excessive yanking on the cables should go without saying though.

This headphone attenuates noise to a degree but it is not an active system. (You don't turn it on or off. Outside noise beyond the headphone is reduced with a good accustically fitting earpiece). It does not cancel noise but reduces it. Hope this helps.

Provides decent physical external sound blockage, but is not noise canceling. I have bose noise canceling. They only work with steady sounds. Like the hum of the road or an airplane engine/wind.

There is a setting for volume on the 'beeper'. Even with a wind blowing i can still hear it fine.

Yes. But whether with or without music, the noise canceling is only a partial reduction in outside noise.

Yes, but as I did, you may have to change to the directional mode if you are using the multi-directional setting. It cuts out all the background noise.

This particular sound at has a background noise issue. It is worth spending a few more dollars to get one with higher reviews.

It will diminish any noise to some degree, but if it's coming from outside, putting it in the window will block some of it. These work best to keep sound from bouncing off walls.

So far it seems to cancel background noise< I haven't been out in the wind with it so I can't say it doew

All that we have used it for is to play some nature cd's such as a rain storm, crashing waves, gentle surf waves, babbling brooks....etc. I have not noticed any background noise with this type use.

Noise cancelling reduces background noise whatever it is, air conditioning, people talking, etc. It does not eliminate the sounds, but noise cancelling does reduce it.

That is one thing nice about this headset. It has the wind mic on it, which helps reduce wind noise. However, as all the others recommended, adjust the mic boom and it should help minimize or eliminate it.

If you are asking if you'll hear noise "picked-up" from the FLEX's microphone, the answer is: NO. That said, if you are moving through the air quickly as you might be on a bicycle, your ears will hear wind noise going around the outside of the headset. You will not hear the wind electronically out of the earbuds, but externally from its blowing around them.
