does this turn down the music so you can hear what people are saying? Music is getting so loud

NO the device seems to compress the sound level changes a little so the louder volumes are lower

You can turn off the music, but it keeps talking/playing for about 10 seconds (annoying!)

It depends on how loud it is. Most normal background noises are eliminated but very loud noises will still be heard. To compensate you raise the level of sound in the head set.

Yes it does-- but I leave it turned off because if something does happen and the sd card is needed for evidence--- it can be used against you saying that your music was too loud or some other audio that distracted you

yes. it has a volume adjust and you turn it all the way off.... plus it doesn't talk unless you press the speaker icon anyway.

It does seem to do this. My husband was complaining about the loud background music in shows. He uses his TV ears earphones to hear what is being said. He has been very pleased with them. He uses the earphones to hear when we get a phone call and mute the TV. When not using the earphones, the box acts like a surround sound.

Hi rick. Not sure what Sony has, but you have an on/off switch for noise cancelling and can pause your music with another button. However there is no actual need to switch off the noise cancelling, as this let conversation pass. It can cancel certain types of noise

Nope. It has none at all. It's used more for a studio setting where your surroundings are noisy. I guess most people hate noise while listening to music, but it's a plus for me as I prefer it due to my work environment. It gives good clarity though. No mic.

I think the volume is loud. I usually turn the volume down because it's so loud. I use the speaker all the time and have no problems hearing.

No it does not. Its noise isolation is one of the best I've ever had. Most of the time I have to go so far as to remove one of the earpieces to hear people trying to talk to me, whether music is playing or not.* I see other people are having a different experience with theirs. I guess it would depend on the size of the earpiece and your perception as to whether the background noise is still loud enough to hear or not. I prefer the isolation of sound and as I said these are one of the best earpieces I've used because the size allows it to fit all the way in my ear and I like that. However not even earplugs will stop absolutely all noise such as car horns and sirens, so if that's your concern don't worry No it does not. Its noise isolation is one of the best I've ever had.

The Noise cancellation function works without music playing. However, in normal office type situations, or in crowded rooms with a fair amount of noise, you will still be able to hear people talking. That is because, at least in my understanding, the noise cancellation works by blocking out the low frequency sounds, but the higher frequencies will still be partially audible. (Side note: the mute button will mute the music as well as turn off the noise cancelling function so that you can hear your surroundings better)

Yes. It has a feature to automatically adjust chat volume according to the sound signal, ie what's going on in the game. So if youre in a loud cinematic in game moment, the chat will also j crease in volume. I turn the sound down most of the time unless I'm gaming alone. I personally I don't like the feature because it sounds like people are uelling in your ear when the music gets loud

If that volume control is responding well, as you described, most likely there is another volume control that is muted or turned down on your computer. Try clicking on the speaker icon in the bottom right corner of your screen and try adjusting it. Hope that helps. Jim

That is not a feature I have noticed. I have always turned it off when done listening and don't remember seeing it with info I received when purchased.

If you raise the mic up it will automatically mute. That's what I used. I don't recall if there is a button or not

Idk but when around a lot of ppl and turn them up u can't hear them. Just having them on without music, outside noise is very low.

Hi adrian, I looked through the owner's manual and it has a setting that is a timer to turn off your music.
