Do the S4i have active or passive external noise canceling? I want something that will eliminate echo and background noise into the mic.

It is passive noise canceling as far as I can tell but the mic is directional and I have never had any issues with echo or background noise, even in airports and in vehicles.

There is a knob to adjust the sensitivity of the microphone that will help reduce the pickup of ambient noise. You can also move the controller closer to your music source.

They block out external sound well, but do not have active noise cancelation. They don't leak sound so if you turn up the volume you won't bother those near you.

Yes and in my opinion the wind noise canceling function is not helping a great deal and I am using an external mic cutting off the build in mic altogether. It is very much easier to protect the external mic from the wind and the sound quality is getting better.

There are no adjustments for any noise canceling of this headset. It is an across the board high quality microphone and stereo/mono speakers. I can tell you this; the sound comes in booming loud and clear. The mic has not been any problem to anyone on the receiving end however I am not in a background high noise environment therefore I cannot judge on what the mic might pickup from that sort of condition.

Mic does not have noise cancellation. Microphone pickup is good. I have never had a problem with it. Background noise pickup seems to be pretty poor so even without noise cancellation the background noise does not drown you our or become annoying.

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

Short answer: yes, in line-in and external mic modes disable the internal mics.

Noise cancelling, which actively cancels out incoming sounds, is not found on this headset. Noise isolating, which passively blocks incoming sounds, is what this set of headphone does, and it does a descent job. You can still hear external sound, but it's muffled. I used these on a plane recently and they worked just fine. I would give these a 7 or 8 on a scale of 1 (hear all external noise) to 10 (hear no external noise).

These headphones don't eliminate background noise unless you really increase the volume. I like them because I hear the TV voice very well and at the same time if my wife needs me, she doen't need to yell. GOOD GRIEF! The TV background noise doesn't eliminate what you hear from people talking unless you are running in surround sound. Paul in Tulsa

No issues with external noise. You need to put the mic directly in front of your mouth to get the best sound. Other than that, make sure the engineer has good levels for you.

I have the Noise Hush N700M, and it has a noise cancellation microphone, swivel mic for left/right ear, and includes a car and USB charger with cord. When recharged it's hands free. I did a online search under the model number and found quite a bit of information on how to use it plus a Youtube video.

There is some slight wind noise through the mic but I installed the Vega speaker pads I found on Amazon from Orange Choppers in Florida and it helped tremendously. There is a noise cancellation setting in the Sena that you can also use and it helps.

I use the soundblaster ZxR sound card and I use the noise cancellation feature that is built into the sound card. I run an extremely loud fan right next to my computer and I have been told that my mic sounds better than everybody else's. The mic is very good quality.

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.

no but during you're recording sessions it will cancel out background noise to the point where only your voice is heard

As most (all?) headphones with active noise cancellation, they mainly filter out low frequency noise (like traffic sound, fan sound and airplane). That means that they are not so good with filtering out speech and tv.People who want to filter out those sounds usually buy headphone with passive "mechanical" soundproof. (For example Direc Sound EX-29)
