Is the wind noise cancelling effective?

It is not. I wound up returning it and going with a Motorola whisper. The wind noise cancelling works much better (of course its way more expensive too). The Anker is great if you stay near your phone, stay indoors, and dont have much background noise.

It was fair, I won't say it was as good as some Bluetooth headsets in the $99 - $129 range I have tested, but it was better than some in the $50 - $69 range. It worked when a light fan was blowing on my desk at my face on low without much issue, but medium or high and it had some trouble.

The wind noise canceling is effective. But it won't work against stronger winds. It's still great for normal breezes and the like. Just keep expectations realistic.

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

Nope, it is not noise cancelling. For noise cancelling, you can look at bose. http://www.bose.com/controller?url=/shop_online/headphones/noise_cancelling_headphones/quietcomfort_15/index.jsp

I don't think they are considered noise cancelling but they do a good job of keeping out the noise. For the price point they do a pretty good job not perfect but better than average.

No, they are not noise canceling. Frankly, I feel safer when I can hear a bit of the sound around me.

As with most on board camcorder microphones, there is still a fair amount of wind noise that can get though, even with the Wind Noise Cancel function activated. I was able to eliminate most of it (and still retain decent sound) by applying two thicknesses of Blenderm (medical) tape over the microphone. I then went with a Rode Videomic with a deadcat and the problem was solved with great results. I hope this helps!

No, these are not noise cancelling at all. The only noise that is cancelled out is if you crank the volume way up which leads to distortion. If you keep the volume at a decent level you can still hear the outside world fairly well.

No, but they are in ear headphones so that helps reduce outside noise if you have a good fit.True noise cancelling headphones are a lot more expensive than these.

Yes the noise cancellation is really good. I travel a ton so I have used it on every size plane. It's not as good as the Bose Quiet Comfort, but it is pretty damn close.

No it's not active noise canceling but I can barely hear some yelling at me when I have these on (yes I've had people yelling around me lol)

The noise cancellation is great but does not block all noises. If you are around a loud area with children or a high traffic area you will still hear some noise but not a great amount.

No, not sound cancelling. Still, they do pretty good job in isolation from ambient sound.

I would say about 90 percent of the outside noise is cancelled by the headphones but there is no difference when you turn on the noise canceling feature.

Not too bad, but of course they're not really designed as noise-cancelling specifically. I wore them on a 14 hour flight from LA to Sydney and it certainly made a difference though.

Don't worry about that. i believe sena has a noise cancelling system that helps to makes the speaking voice much clearer. The only noise that should be worried is the wind since your friend doesn't wear full face helmet, I think. My brother-in-law rides a road glide with screaming eagle intake and exhaust and I still can chat with him clearly.

I feel that the padding works pretty well as noise cancelling. If you have music playing at a moderate volume, the padding and the music is enough for you to not hear pretty much anything.

No, none that I noticed. I actually wear them when riding a motorcycle and they cancel the wind noise as well. Haron
