It would still reduce the background noise significantly.

Works great, turns out background noise.

High quality sound and really block out all the background noise

The mic really stunk, the anc was horrid at best, and picked up a ton of background noise

And they cancel out all background noise.

On the positive side, music does sound really great when you don't have background noise

They need to play music clearly and cancel out background noise as they promised.

Work exactly as you would hope, the bluetooth range and strength is great and the sound quality is really good

The headphones MUST be charged for use due to the 'noise cancelling' feature which is a draw back but the headphones keep a battery charge for a decent amount of time.****Target has this model as well as the bose Q25/35s if you want to give them a try

For people who own the older Beats stop criticizing as if you have owned this one

In less than six months both earpads are falling apart and very confusing as to which replacement earpads fit this model

..some songs sound great due to the bass and the rich sound but some sound horrible especially when the bass starts to vibrate as if it's torn

Amazing sound, very well built, well designed e simply beautiful, but the battery is not lasting 12 hours as advertised
