Can someone tell me how well the noise cancelation on this device is? Can I work in a sever room and have a conversation with people over the phone?

I think the noise cancelation is horrible. I have a convertible and no one can understand what I'm saying when the top is down. I had the LG Electronics HBS-730.ACUSBKK Tone and Bluetooth Headset and no one could tell when I was driving with the top down. I'm returning it. Also the battery life is horrible and I can't get it to stay on my ear. I'm not sure why is has so many positive reviews which is the reason I purchased it.

For me worked fine on all conditions, work, car, I even use it on very noisy malls and had no problems at all.

I work in construction, drills, saws,hammering always going on and I don't have trouble talking on my hands-free device. Some people say I'm shouting, but that's cause I do, just to make sure they can hear me over the noise.

I use this device on road and neither I our the person on other end of conversation notice any issues.

I've taken this into a data center and it works pretty well for the person on the other end, it just eliminates ambient noise so anything that isn't your voice is usually washed out.

It MUST have at least one -- preferably more -- for noise cancellation. But it is probably not usable for conversation by the user.

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.

I have had people say to me when I turn the headset on in the middle of a conversation that the noise on there end is very load and hurts there ear. This is the first I've herd about the muting noise. Overall I'm very pleased with the head set. It works great for noise cancellation.

The sound quality is pretty decent for a headset mic and is better than most mics people use online. It does not have built in noise cancellation as far as I know, but most apps and games you would use it with have some form of noisegate to account for it. It is a dynamic microphone, so it doesn't pick up a crazy amount of noise by default.

You bet. The noise cancelling feature works all by itself, without plugging it into anything. It certainly does not drown everything out but it makes a difference!

Very much so. I am also in the work from home category and I use this product with Skype. I have never had a complaint about someone having a problem hearing me and everything sounds clear to me as well. The range on this is also great. My office is upstairs and I can go downstairs and out the door without loosing quality. Of course my house is not huge either :)

Hi Mo, since this headset is a dual ear wearing style it will help cancel out most of the background noise. But the headset doesn't cancel out 100% of background noise, so you will still be able to hear some noise around you.

If your asking about background noise threw the earbud it isn't too bad. I worked as a security supervisor for a 100,000 square foot club that holds 6000 people with live LOUD music and had no problems hearing the calls. I do need to warn you about the quality of these headsets if your job is physical . I was frequently in take downs so mine took a beating. I went threw 4 of these in a year. I had bought some for a few of our door guys and they loved them! No problems as far as wear and tear on thiers. Hope this helps.

Not sure what you mean. The noise cancellation is an on off switch and that's the only way it works. I haven't used this for calls, only listening. I imagine the noise canceling works with calls too.

The good and bad is that background noise is filtered out, but if a person is speaking from 8-10 feet it doesn't pick up well - I would say 4-5 feet away is the best distance. We have a polycom also for outside line calls and I would say it is a similar response. If the conf room is quite where background noise doesn't exist, it may do better.

The sound with a phone is great. I asked the person how I sounded and they said they couldn't tell that I was talking from a headset.

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.

My have no comms. capabilities. They are strictly for noise control. On a positive note, there comfortable and work well. The only tough thing is battery change out. Hope this helps.

Sorry, it is not noise canceling. It has very good volume and the padding keeps the noise out in a great way, but not noise canceling, that refers to a electronic option that is not available on this unit. I still love mine.

Mic is overall good but sometimes people can't hear me where there's a lot of noise. Noise isolation is good, too much noise isolation is dangerous

The microphone is meh. It works well inside on phone calls. It works poorly if there is ambient noise wind, music, etc. I've had many comments from people, "could you please report that ,it seemed garbled."
