Currently, using an auxiliary cable, I have a lot of noise when my S4 is connected. Will this device cancel some/all of the noise?

No, according to everything I've read, you can select either noise cancellation OR amplification; not both at the same time. BTW, you can prove this by switching between NC and AMP with no input. When you select NC from "off," you can hear the noise being reduced. When you switch to AMP from NC, the background noise increases.

No, from my experience it will turn down all sounds that are above your volume setting.I am still deciding if the item works that well.

You should be hearing sounds coming from the device you're connected to, not the sounds you put into the device. You shouldn't hear yourself talk unless it's a play back of a recording...

Wind noise has not been a problem for me. The bigger problem is that if your phone is in the back pocket of your jersey your head and body seems to interfere with the blue tooth connection. I find that looking behind to the left causes a temporary loss of connection. This isn't a problem for music, but it is for listening to books. This doesn't happen when the phone is on your arm or on the handle bars.

This answer doesn't really answer the question - will this device interfere with other blue tooth devices?

David, the noise cancelling works by it self without having to plug it into anything, so it should help cut down the snoring noises for your partner. You do need to get the one specific for your intended player, either for apple or Android devices.

"To get the best audio quality, navigate to the 'Settings' menu on your Galaxy S4 and go to 'My Device -> Accessory'. Tap 'Audio output', and select 'Surround" This is what I did to my galaxy in order to make it work.. hope it works for you

By any chance, when you activate it, does it just sound like moderate white noise, but you still hear what's going on outside of the earbuds? Because I have that problem as well, and I too have an Android. The noise-cancellation isn't all that great. If anything, it makes the sound quality worse. Why the noise-cancellation doesn't work well, I don't know. I'll just say the quality of the earbuds isn't the best.

No it will not help. All you will be able to hear is the back-ground noise. You will not be able to hear the people close to you. You would be better to get a device with volume control.

Active noise cancelling happens whenever the switch is in the on position. So even if you're using the cable to connect to the phone via the 1/8" jack you can have active noise cancelling on by flipping the switch.

i haven't noticed any changes in volume during any time using it with a typical ipod. i dont have the phone, so i cant tell you if there is a connection issue. these are great though!

I couldn't make it work on Samsung Galaxy S4 neither in Samsung Galaxy S Duos or Galaxy Note 10.1. It seems to be related to impedance issues. Maybe with a different Mic attached but I hav'nt been able to figure it out.

It does not. You might be getting inductive noise via the audio cable if not using blue tooth; I'm using the upgraded audio cable.

Hi Mama&wife;, I would say no. It works good, but I don't think it really cuts out any background noise.

The noise canceling isn't as good as the BOSE Quiet Comfort 15. Playing white noise from an external speaker with the ANC on, I still hear some of it. I would say it blocks 50%-60% of outside noise. When in front of my fan, there is a notable difference but nothing drastic. When in a car at idle, you'll still hear the engine, but it won't completely block it.

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.....
