Does this noise cancel pretty well? Tired of using PTT on skype cause my mx browns are loud...

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)

Oh this mic is very sensitive. It gets all ambiance noise (fans, dogs barking, etc) My brother uses for gaming and is no good.

Sound quality is quiet good, especially for a headset. You can get stand alone microphones with better quality but for a headset the microphone is quiet good. I don't get any background noise, NO scratching or hum. I use it quiet often for gaming and Skype calls, works perfectly. The "G-Keys" allow you to assign a push to talk or any sort of macro keys. Let me know if you have any other questions. Please give me feedback, thanks!

Sorry, I can't answer that question specifically...but I did want to say that the noise cancelation for talk is horrendous almost to the point of making the headset useless. The magnetic bluetooth connect on/off works about 50% of the time. I emailed Jabra about the noise cancelation with no response.

They are good for noise cancellation of regular conversation. I use them at work and can't hear the other workers. I work in an open call center type of setup.

I never had that issue. The background noise is with NC off, as every noise cancelling headsets. Everything looks fine to me so far...

Yes it's noise canceling. The bass is very good and the drivers are incredible. Very good head set.

Very much so. I am also in the work from home category and I use this product with Skype. I have never had a complaint about someone having a problem hearing me and everything sounds clear to me as well. The range on this is also great. My office is upstairs and I can go downstairs and out the door without loosing quality. Of course my house is not huge either :)

I just bought it & have Windows 7. It works fine except it has a hum that I can't get rid of. I've played with the gain button & the mic volume, but it's still there. Any suggestions?

I'm still using mine. I'd like it to work better than it does. At times I have to reboot my computer to get rid of excessive feedback. Mine only works in one configuration and I had to call Plantronics tech support to get the settings that I use.

Thanks for the reply,Does it only mask other people's music if you have music on? Like Bradley I want mostly noise cancelation, not too much worried about music. Thanks again

Hi Tony. My first pair were pretty good. Most constant background noise was filtered out (traffic noise, engine noise in aircraft etc.). I could still hear people speaking although at a lower volume. When friends tried them, they were all quite impressed by the noise cancelling.My second pair weren't as good as the first pair. That said, if you open the ear pieces (they are held together with small screws) you will see a small potentiometer (one in each ear piece) with an adjusting slot.I fiddled with this and noticed it increased/decreased the noise cancelling. If you turn it too far to increase noise cancelling, movement of the headphones causes a clicking sound. Hi Tony. My first pair were pretty good.

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

It works great with Skype, conference calls and with VOIP. I've used this headset for webinars and Skype for over a year. My partner uses it for work all day long on VOIP and it hasn't let us down yet. Sound is crisp and clear. Noise cancellation works incredibly well, blocking out most outside noise. Certainly a worthwhile purchase for the money.

They aren't too loud. Almost like a Mac keyboard but not. Somewhere between a Mac and normal desktop keyboard. I was typing while skyping and my girlfriend said she could hear me type. Then again, I'm a little more aggressive than I need to be. So no, it does not make a loud clacking noise that some traditional keyboards do.

I use it for Skype. It works fine for me. In particular, given that the keyboard is on a tray below my desktop, I have the confidence that my keystrokes cannot be observed should some nefarious software find its way onto my system. Your question appears to address a specific technical issue about which I possess no particular insight. I would suggest that you check the Creative website and/or contact the manufacturer directly if you require more information.

Hi, The noise reduction is not bad. It is better than the foam muff types. You can still hear sounds in the area so if someone is calling me, I will hear it. This is one of the most practical headphones I have ever used. It is reliable and has a long cord so it is great for use on a computer or a TV. I like these so much, I bought a total of 7 sets.

Low frequencies; yes. Mid - high frequencies and varying pitches NO, eg. voices, even soft ones~ Some noise cancellation is better than no noise cancellation. Audible hiss when cable is plugged into headphone, even with input jack unplugged. Compared to Bose Quiet Comfort 15's - which were what these were trying to replicate I assume - they're candid representations for it's price point; don't expect a miracle.
