Noise-canceling headsets work for repetitive noises that are easily predictable, such as engine noise. Human speech is very unpredictable, and noise-canceling headsets have very little impact on them. Turning up the volume on headphones quickly leads to hearing loss, and should never be the recommended solution.
- fyfy18 7y agoI have a set of noise cancelling Sony MDR-1000X (previous generation) and just having the headphones switched on without music playing, they don't do much to block voice. However if I play music quietly I can't hear anything, even if someone is talking right next to me (or at me).
