I thought they would be better reducing ambient noise.

4A.Years ago we flew to Europe in first class, (25 years ago) and they offered Bose noise canceling earphones for the singular purpose of canceling out ambient noise.

They sport a feature called 'sidetone', which projects ambient noise into the headphones when you are using the microphone

The microphone works very well with phone calls, Facetime, and WebEx without picking up ambient noise

They block some ambient noise

They did a great job blocking out ambient noise

The microphone is so bad it picks up any ambient noise in the room

Phone calls are useless because the mic on the headset picks up ALL ambient noise including thee wind at a walking pace

Second, if you want to put them on to just block ambient noise they quickly go into shutdown and give no noise reduction.

They don't filter out outside ambient noise very

Keeps out some ambient noise as well

I guess I expected them to at least physically block some ambient noise, but they are light weight with little padding around the ears.

I do wish the volume was independent from my phone volume as I use these at work, they do a great job of cutting out the ambient noise in the shop but iPhones don't necessarily get really loud

The mic was able to capture ambient noise in my house (the air conditioner, the sink running in the kitchen, the laundry and dishwasher) and created quite a bit of rumble in the background.

But over the years they have morphed away from "white" noise that really did cancel out background ambient noise.

And, if your ambient noise is on a plane, you're got by both points two and three.

Does not work as well as I would have liked for calls (people on the other end can't seem to hear me well, or it sounds muffled)

Not recommended for video streaming as you may experience a slight delay(depends on distance from the source) when used wireless(which is okay for me but is worth mentioning)

This was apparently the wrong choice as they refused to work at all

but not as well as with me speaking directly into the phone

After pairing them I could listen to TV and all the smart TV apps at the same time on the phones as well as through the TV speakers

They don't block sound as well as I though they would, especially for the price

The leather ear cuffs are the softest and most comfortable I have felt

n’t get very loud

n’t work well for phone calls or for dictation, picks up almost nothing.
