want to use this in a "call-center"; does it do a good job of limiting what we hear?, is there any noise canceling for the ear-phones?

Also, I have had them for 2 month I have used them heavily. And there still in perfect condition, well worth the price.

I use these while training in an Adobe virtual classroom.It blocks out noise from outdoors including jets and my voice quality I'm told is clear and crisp. An excellent product and great price. I would have paid more if I had to.

it does reduce the outside noise very well however this head set and another one both broke in half after the first month of normal use. we currently have them but are duct tape repaired. For the cost of the headset it wasn't worth it.

Great question. When I use it background noise is virtually gone. Unless you have the radio or tv turned all the up they are good. Also if there are people in the background taking you don't hear them either. I hope this is helpful.

Depends how noise the call center you work in, in my setting it did cancel most of the background noise, but enough to were I can here what's going on. Unfortunately there no notice cancelation for these headphones. On the system I used I had the options to cancel some background noise.

I do not think the headphones are equipped with active noise cancellation (i.e. Bose). Whatever benefit realized will be based on the fit. I still have mine with minimal use, if you're interested in minimizing the risk. Unfortunately, they were not compatible with Rosetta Stone.

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.

When music is playing at reasonable volume, they're pretty good at blocking background noise, but not perfect. If you're just wearing them over your ears without input, the noise cancellation is more of a soft noise muffling than anything else. I wouldn't call them "noise-cancelling" so much as "reduces extraneous background noise so you can focus on what's playing".

It blocks a fair amount, yes...more than my earbuds did. But I have never had a "noise-cancelling" headset, so I don't know how it would compare.

I have used them in a work lunchroom and have completely shut out the noise of the random chatter. Depending on the level of speaking (which we all know people like to shout in their cell phones) I think they will greatly cut down if not eliminate the noise for you.

I have used it - the big difference is in the headsets. You need good noise canceling headsets.

I wouldn't say it's true noise cancelling. For example, I have the headphones on right now and I'm at my office. I have the volume fairly low, and I can still hear everyone around me talking. Then again, I have freakishly good hearing. If I turn the volume up though (a good amount), but not all the way up that it's deafening, then yes, the noise drowns out and I can see people's mouths moving but not hear anything. I have tried my friend's headphones that are Noise Cancelling (the expensive ones that start with the letter "B" and end in "E") and those are true noise cancelling. Meaning, even with the volume all the way down, I can't hear anything. But in my opinion, these headphones are perfect... I couldn't picture running with noise cancelling headphones and not hear an oncoming car for example. I like that when I don't want to hear anything, I simply turn the volume up 2 notches, and if I want to make things out enough that I'm aware of my surroundings, I simply turn it down a few notches. Overall, these headphones have been one of the best purchases I've made.

hi, just to confirm, I have the Plantronics S12. It's pretty good and is "noise cancelling. My knock on the unit is that I can't adequately bring the volume down on the earpiece. To address that, I got some extra foam to put into the earpiece.....

No, the Flents Quiet Please Foam Ear plugs will not block out all the noise but they will do a better job and any other ear plug on the market that I know about. They will give reduce the noise significantly so you can tune it out. The only thing better would be a headset noise reducer over both ears- that would do the job

No. At least for me, it was not cancelling noise that well. I could still hear external sounds.

I think they work pretty well. I wear them at work to. And I work around machines. They don't completely block it out but enough to where it's not a big deal. If your syncing them with your phone, after your phone volume is maxed they have the own volume as well to go on top of your phones. So they get pretty loud. Not completely noise canceling but as long as your not somewhere crazy loud they'll block out the noise.

Agree with Amazon Mama's response. Good earphones but not the best for blocking noise.

Hi there, The ear cushions on this headset do not completely cover your ears so you can still hear sound around you some what. That being said, the idea of the design is to help block out background noise to help you hear the call better. Please let me know if you have any questions

I use the headset in an airplane, where it reduces the surrounding noise (engine and wind noises) to an amazing degree. I doubt it would suppress intermittent noise (office conversations) as I don't believe that is what it is designed to do.

I would have to say it eliminates most background noise. Of course there are some things that are loud nearby that get in the way of what/who you are listening to. Overall it does a good job of keeping out unwanted noise. Hope this helps.

I use these headphones for the exact same reason. They don't completely cancel out the noise but they reduce it enough that the noise isn't bothersome any more. Keep in mind that these are not technically noise-canceling headphones, but they are instead noise-reducing headphones which do a great job. These headphones are, in fact, better than the -canceling ones for this kind of situation.

I would get noise cancelling headphones for that. These do block out noise but I don't know that it's enough.
