Are any of your headsets noise cancelling?

Yes, most business headsets will have noise canceling. There's two versions of noise canceling that get mistaken so make sure you know the proper terminology.

Active noise cancellation (ANC) refers to your speakers and is a feature you can turn on to further reduce distractions happening around you. ANC does not refer to a microphone.

Microphone noise cancellation or environmental noise cancellation (ENC) refers to a microphone. If your main concern is to be heard clearly without background noise, then you need microphone noise cancellation, not ANC.

Most good quality business headsets will have a noise canceling microphone, but all aren't created equal. We put together a list of the best headset noise canceling microphones for you to consider.
