    How to reduce background noise when making calls?

    That's a good point, if they sit over the ear, it could be difficult to hear sometimes, though you would be aware of your surroundings.

    How to reduce background noise when making calls?

    Thank you for your reply. The Plantronics - B235 Voyager Legend is shown as £231 for me in the UK. I converted to dollars as I don't know where people are located, thought it would make more sense. Great that the cheaper one provides good noise cancelling. You do mean on the microphone? So...

    How to reduce background noise when making calls?

    Hello bkdodger2 and Swebb, I've just realised something I think :-) When you talk about noise cancelling on earbuds, do you mean earphones that have a microphone?

    How to reduce background noise when making calls?

    Here's what I'm trying to achieve: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8xJAQuzkAc Using Krisp.ai, the man in the video is able to remove his background noise so the woman doesn't hear it. Unfortunately, Krisp.ai doesn't work on Android devices.

    How to reduce background noise when making calls?

    Hello bkdodger2, I've spent ages searching for stuff, not exactly sure what I should be searching for. Mostly I find stuff on noise cancelling earphones which is not what I'm trying to find.
