Although these headphones do cut out some background noise passively by sealing out your ear, they have no noise cancellation and no smart assistant

They cancel out all background noise and sound crisp and clear.

The way the headphone fits around your ear some background noise is canceled out

Even though they aren't noise cancelling, the around the ear does cancel out some background noise

It is like these headphones are picking up my background noise and amplifying it

Between that & the music itself, the background noise became a non-issue

This is especially true if you're traveling or outside with background noise

In a loud environment, I do hear the background noise but the sound from the headphones does just enough to cut it out

It blocks out a majority of background noise and outsiders cannot hear my music at all (unless it's turned up very high... don't do that!)

This product completely blocks out any background noise that you may be used to hearing while listening to music with any other pair of headphones

So after you speak your command to siri, it doesn't beep back to do the command because it hears the background noise

I bought them for college last year to use for studying and zoning out, and they definitely cut out most, if not all background noise

However, they are pretty good at cutting out most background noise without having to raise the sound level to the highest level just to block it out

The below blurb of the product description is totally wrong and actually the opposite:"Clearer callsAn advanced microphone system provides clear calls even in windy or noisy environments, while enhanced sidetone makes your voice sound clearer at the other end, too."When I use the headphone indoors, the people on the other side complain about sound being too faint or with lot of background noise

but there is a significant amount of background noise (talking, printer, etc.).

I can tell if I'm putting someone through hell with wind noise or background chatter, but I do miss how the QC25's completely obliterate background noise when I'm listening to someone on the phone

It is like these headphones are picking up my background noise and amplifying it

They block out background noise in the office and he can’t wait to use them to mow the grass

Even though they aren't noise cancelling, the around the ear does cancel out some background noise

If my husband is watching television or listening to the radio in the car, I can use them to play my music or watch online movies and they drown out the background noise

these headsets were kind of a let down, the sound quality is good, but when your on the phone the background noise actually gets louder, and its hard for others to hear you unless you turn the volume way up

the mic picks up lots of background noise

Picks up background noise on mic too

The mic also picks up the background noise

do not, can hardly hear the music over background noise etc

They block normal background noises, but I still feel like I could hear an announcement (on a plane, for example) or some other warning.

If you don't mind a little background noise and are looking for a great comfortable pair of wireless headphones I would recommend the Bose Soundlinks.

Microphone captures too much of the background noise (but PBP, Sennheiser Momentum 2 have the same problem)

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

All premium products should support USB-C these days

The cups have large, clear "R" and "L" labels inside

Love the BIG L and R in the interior of the earpieces, easy to immediately see which is which, and that's important as these headphones are not symmetrical, and meant to specifically fit Left to left

Also when walking the walking the dogs I wear a fanny pack around my waste and head sets on and they’d great I

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

I’m enjoying my music and rockin’ out around the house as I clean
