The CH351 mic does a notably good job suppressing nearby household noise in the included test.
Pros: Microphone noise reduction, Microphone quality for calls
Cons: Active noise cancellation effectiveness, Bluetooth connectivity stability
Microphone noise reduction was widely praised for blocking keyboards, background noise, and other distractions while preserving speech.
Pros: Battery, Charging
Cons: Active noise cancellation, Touch control responsiveness
Microphone noise reduction is strong overall, with reviewers noting less hiss, strong rejection, and effective control of unwanted background sounds.
Pros: Audio-video sync accuracy, Hinge durability
Cons: aptX, Smudge resistance
Noise reduction on the mic is repeatedly praised for rejecting keyboard clacks and room noise. A platform caveat appears in one review, where background reduction was less effective in a...
Pros: Battery, Multipoint connectivity reliability
Cons: Active noise cancellation effectiveness, Xbox compatibility
Microphone noise rejection is often praised for reducing keyboard, fan, dog, or room noise.
Pros: Microphone quality for calls, Hinge durability
Cons: Active noise cancellation, Detachable cable convenience
Noise reduction was a real strength when using ClearCast or Sonar features, with reviewers repeatedly noting reduced background noise.
Pros: Wireless latency, Multi-platform compatibility
Cons: Active noise cancellation, Water/sweat resistance rating
Microphone noise reduction is one of the better-supported positives, with many reviews saying ENC or the noise-canceling mic reduced background sound and kept voice clearer.
Pros: Connectivity versatility, USB-C
Cons: Active noise cancellation, Bluetooth
Mic noise reduction is generally effective for fans or background noise, though one review says mechanical keyboards remain a challenge.
Pros: Battery, Detachable cable convenience
Cons: Active noise cancellation, Bluetooth
Background rejection is a real plus. The mic does a decent to very good job reducing keyboard noise and other room sounds, though it is not perfect in louder environments.
Pros: Battery, Volume output
Cons: Multipoint connectivity reliability, Codec support
Noise reduction features like ClearCast AI, noise gates, and smart leveling are often effective at cutting fan noise, birds, and keyboard clatter. A few still notice minor wireless artifacts or...
Pros: Replaceable battery, Simultaneous wireless + Bluetooth audio
Cons: aptX, LDAC
Noise handling is a strong point: software options (including AI-style noise reduction where available) and mic tuning help cut distractions like keyboard noise and room sounds in typical gaming/office use.
Pros: Maximum volume clarity, Audio-video sync accuracy
Cons: Active noise cancellation effectiveness, Simultaneous wireless + Bluetooth audio
Mic noise reduction can be strong with tuning and background-noise controls, but some reviewers found noise rejection inconsistent or voice tradeoffs noticeable.
Pros: Wireless latency, Positional audio accuracy
Cons: RGB lighting customization, Integrated microphone
Microphone noise handling is mixed: some reviewers praised background rejection, while one noted the mic lacks active noise cancellation and can pick up room noise.
Pros: Multi-platform compatibility, Connectivity versatility
Cons: Water/sweat resistance rating, aptX
Microphone noise handling was mostly positive despite limited processing, with several reviewers noting low background pickup or hardware rejection; one also noted no dedicated noise-reduction filter.
Pros: Software/setup simplicity, Detachable microphone convenience
Cons: Active noise cancellation, Bluetooth
Microphone noise reduction is often praised for isolating voice and suppressing background noise, including fans and nearby activity. A few real-world tests in loud, crowded spaces suggest performance can vary...
Pros: Weight comfort, Ear cup swivel/rotation range
Cons: Xbox compatibility, Replaceable battery
Noise handling is generally good with adjustable noise gates and processing, but some reviewers hear occasional dips or artifacts when noise reduction is too aggressive.
Pros: Comfort during long use, Weight comfort
Cons: Active noise cancellation effectiveness, Noise isolation (passive)
Noise reduction is described as decent rather than perfect; environmental noise can still slip through, but software noise-gate options help depending on the scenario.
Pros: Maximum volume clarity, Volume output
Cons: Active noise cancellation effectiveness, Wired connection sound quality
Mic noise reduction can reduce background clutter, but multiple reviewers note the tradeoff is additional processing/compression and sometimes a less natural sound.
Pros: Design and Aesthetics, Equalizer customization
Cons: Active noise cancellation effectiveness, Multipoint connectivity reliability
Noise handling is mixed: some evidence supports directional rejection, while other reviewers note no AI noise cancelling or pop sensitivity.
Pros: Earpad replacement ease, Wireless latency
Cons: Active noise cancellation, Carry case quality
Mic noise handling was mixed: some reviews heard decent rejection, while others said it picked up the environment easily.
Pros: Battery, Weight comfort
Cons: Water/sweat resistance rating, Active noise cancellation
Microphone noise reduction often helps with keyboards and background noise, but breathing, room noise, and inconsistent suppression remain concerns.
Pros: Wireless latency, Xbox compatibility
Cons: RGB lighting customization, Detachable cable convenience
Microphone noise reduction is mixed: ClearCast and Sonar can help, but some reviewers still report hiss, weak isolation, or background noise.
Pros: Multi-platform compatibility, Earpad replacement ease
Cons: Active noise cancellation, Bluetooth
Microphone noise handling is a weakness overall: background noise can be picked up, though one reviewer notes analog noise gating can help.
Pros: Audio-video sync accuracy, Battery
Cons: Active noise cancellation, Bluetooth
The AI noise reduction feature does not earn much confidence from the reviews that discuss it. Background noise still comes through too easily, so it helps less than the spec...
Pros: Weight comfort, Comfort during long use
Cons: Active noise cancellation effectiveness, Microphone noise reduction
