I would love it if you did something similar with kids in the background. This works great with casual conversations but screaming or crying kids is on a whole other level.
I have one gripe with these tests: obviously all the headsets are in a low bandwidth "mobile" mode, like f.e. talking over a smartphone. For testing methodology it would be nice if you also had the ability to test sound quality in HQ mode (talking over f.e. Cisco Webex or Microsoft Teams). These two modes are distinctly different, on the speakers AND microphone side. Just a hint. ✌️
Appreciate the feedback! We do these tests through a Windows computer on sound recorder, not sure if that makes a huge difference or not? We've tested on other apps like Zoom or Teams for example and the mic sound quality to us sounded the same. We'll add this to our future vivdeo list to record the audio on an app like you mentioned and you can tell us if the sound is different or not.
I got a Poly8225 on the back of this test and... It simply doesn't block ANY outside noise on the call. Everyone can hear anything going on behind me. I made my test with a loud TV not human voices so it might be that but I'm very confused at the difference in results... at 230 CAD$ it's a bit of a disappointement....
1. Did you purchased from an authorized reseller? (many gray market products sold online from unauthorized sources that don't perform the same) 2. Have you done any troubleshooting?
@@simonlynch4204 Most products sold on Amazon are sold from a third party seller, and this is where we hear about most gray market products unfortunately. If you look at the sellers name in your past order, you'll be able to check if the seller is an authorized reseller here partners.poly.com/English/directory/ Also, if you use Windows go to your start menu > Device Manager > sound, video and game controllers > within this setting see if you have anything relating to "intel smart sound technology". If so, disable this feature, restart your computer and give the headset another try.
is there additional software the need to be downloaded for these to work properly. I work on company computer where we ccan not download additional software
This testing was done without any software downloaded, we just plugged them in and hit record. There is software like neep.com you can get though to give you the best mic noise cancellation possible, but it would require your company to approve a software download.
I have the Shokz Opencomm, and it doesn't literally noise cancel the voices of other people on the background, I don't know how you made it noise cancel your background sound with noise of other people
@@HeadsetAdvisor I am connected to the computer through Bluetooth without the USB Dongle, do you think that is the issue? I need the USB Dongle to noise cancel through the computer?
@@Anilumi Connecting with the USB Dongle could be the fix, and if you're on a Windows computer check to see if you have a setting called "intel smart sound" and if so disable it. This video will show you how czcams.com/video/O8BVp8eHF_k/video.htmlsi=LqZLRWPU2k-5ArWA
Great review. Thank you. Just wish there were some options with headphones that surround the ear. I find them by far the most comfortable with long days in conference calls.
This is great. Taking it one step further, which of these are best at passive noise cancellation to block out hearing your colleagues in the background?
We think all of them would struggle to a degree, so none will be perfect but maybe the Tilde Pro would do best. It's really hard to know for certain without you testing yourself.
No matter which model you go with, none will be perfect. Your best bet may be the Orosound Tilde Pro. headsetadvisor.com/products/orosound-tilde-pro-bluetooth-noisecancelling-headset?_pos=1&_psq=tilde&_ss=e&_v=1.0
These would work in a noisy coffee shop as well, but any noise canceling microphone still has it's limitation so probably won't block out 100% of noise but should be significantly reduced.
Can you do the same for mono ear headsets ? Ones that either hook over the ear or open ear. Thanks !! Does anyone know of such a headset that has a mic as good as those featured ?
Could you please let me know if there are headphones like this in india🙂I would really like them. Noise suppression does it's job with earbuds but the ones you show here are on next level
Might want to pause your talking a couple seconds when background noise is shown to show us the difference between on and off modes. Just jumping around too fast..
@@HeadsetAdvisor I very much appreciate your reply. I usually just click-off when I lose focus, but I greatly appreciate you posting information on what I seek. It's frustrating to have to look for help for my Misophonia and I find it hard to follow things. Thank you again. I look forward to visiting your channel again.
@@studio-era You're welcome and we really appreciate the feedback! We read all comments to learn anyway that we can improve, so if you have any other thoughts in the future we're open to hearing.
@@HeadsetAdvisor to the reality? ^^ I mean why don't they add a Bluetooth module, which is only used for the microphone? Which means two high quality channels are used for the headphone and one separate channel is used for the mic and if I connect only to a smartphone or similar it uses only one Bluetooth connection. I think this is the reason why the modmic has such a good quality (it uses it's own dongle).
@@8yter801 it’s unfortunately not how it works because these microphones have noise canceling software in the microphones to reduce background noise. With that comes a sacrifice of having the best possible voice quality. Whereas the Modmic doesn’t focus on noise cancellation and is why it sounds more natural than any microphone with noise cancellation. But then if you’re in loud environments callers will hear all the background noise, so it depends on your exact needs on which is the best way to go.
Good point we did a blind mic test with headsets that cost less than 100 to see how they compare. Check out and vote vote.headsetadvisor.com we will release winners soon and report our findings
You wasted my time by purposely mislabeling your video. I couldn't care less about headphones, so why are you talking about them in a video labeled "microphones"?
Want MORE noise cancellation? Try neep noise cancelling software free neep.com

Agreed! Stay tuned, there's more options coming soon that will fully enclose your ears.
Do you have a good recommendation for over the ear headsets vs on ear
When you say over-ear are you referring to an earpiece style of one that fully encloses your ears?
how can someone order from your country to Nigeria , how long does it take to arrive
best video on microphones in headsets

Hi which headphones mic remove/reduce or best in category background noise for others in a meeting if someone working from home.
The Orosound Tilde Pro is the best from our testing. And, if an extra level of mic noise cancellation is needed, consider adding neep.com
if only all reviews on youtube were like this
Thanks for the feedback!
This is great. Taking it one step further, which of these are best at passive noise cancellation to block out hearing your colleagues in the background?
Most of these will work well for that. The Tilde pro will probably do the best 🙂
The volume on the Discover Adapt seems quite low in this video?
Hmm maybe you can compare to this video czcams.com/video/s8WAFqM6qaQ/video.htmlsi=fqaIP2uemDyN4_6f
Which one would be best for cancelling out background noise on a mic in a cafe setting?
We think all of them would struggle to a degree, so none will be perfect but maybe the Tilde Pro would do best. It's really hard to know for certain without you testing yourself.
Which one do you recommend to cancel the voice of a toddler in the background please?
No matter which model you go with, none will be perfect. Your best bet may be the Orosound Tilde Pro. headsetadvisor.com/products/orosound-tilde-pro-bluetooth-noisecancelling-headset?_pos=1&_psq=tilde&_ss=e&_v=1.0
Thank you❤
How about a noisy coffee shops test?
These would work in a noisy coffee shop as well, but any noise canceling microphone still has it's limitation so probably won't block out 100% of noise but should be significantly reduced.
I got the Poly blackwire 8225 and it is better than anything I had. However you can still hear the screaming kids in the back.. faintly tho
That sounds right. No noise canceling microphone at this current time will block out 100% of background noise.
Great test
Thanks for watching!
Can you do the same for mono ear headsets ? Ones that either hook over the ear or open ear. Thanks !! Does anyone know of such a headset that has a mic as good as those featured ?

Great bro 👍😃
Could you please let me know if there are headphones like this in india🙂I would really like them. Noise suppression does it's job with earbuds but the ones you show here are on next level
Some of the models in this video may be in India. Otherwise, you could consider noise canceling software like neep.com
Anything with iPhone compatible devices? Ideally Bluetooth
Give the Orosound Tilde pro a look
Anything from jbl?
Not that we've tested
Good job 😎
We know you’ve been waiting for ones like this 😁
I wish there was one where I wouldn’t break the bank around less then 45 😔 I usually work from home/coffee shop…
neep.com may be the solution instead. Then you could use any audio device of your choice.
@@HeadsetAdvisor Is there a price chart for individuals who want to use Neep? I would like to look into it.
I like that Jabra!
Thanks Lance!
