Does it block or muffle the microphone. My current one does.

No, It has a cutout where the mic is. I love this case better than the otterbox and its cheaper.

All the ports, speakers and mics are not blocked except the SD/sim card holder, which is nice. I've had no problems with muffling. I highly reccomend it!

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.

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.

No it doesn't. No one has complained about hearing me. The cut-out where the microphone is located is well-done. The case is well designed, great quality, and great value. I've dropped my phone about three times from waist-height and nothing happened to my phone.

Mine did, the wind screen fits over both microphones, and there is a hard plastic case that protects the device nicely. I am pleased with mine.

My understanding of Noise Reduction is for the MIC. It reduces background noise that the Mic picks up.

Yes it has a mute function. I found it a little tricky to make sure it was working but it does work. Practice makes perfect.

No it does not avoid blocking the speakers but if it is to low you may not hear it as well.

Yes it does. The mic dows have a speaker in it. You can listen with it to your ear above all the noise.

They are not all the same. I have found the noise cancelling mics to perform quite differently among each brand. We are using five of these at work. We have tried several others and this one works better than most in this price range. It blocks out most of the background noise.

Yes it does, it is just hidden on the left hand side, you pull it out and you can move it around, the mic is retractable. This headset is absolutely worth it, I highly suggest it.

Yes it does, people had no problems hearing me when i was on a call at work. The mic is on the right side with all the controls.

It does not block the camera at all and I have no issues with the volume button. I have had my case for over two years, have dropped it, no problems. Will buy another when I wear this out.

Yes it does! When I first used it the mic had some very weird feedback but it started working right after just fine. There's a wire and neck ring so it'll be unnoticeable with a jacket on so don't use it while wearing just a shirt

Not 100%. But it depends on the distance and noise level. I would say 80% of the noise is blocked. It is worth the price.

No it does not. The photo is a complete misrepresentation of the product. The inside is just plastic so when you put your microphone inside it rattles terribly against the microphone.

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.
