Noise cancelling that I've come across is limited to low/medium frequencies. If your hearing takes you higher, the noise-cancelling has finished by then. This is probably not the ability of the sensing mic but the circuitry and/or room acoustics, echo, etc. I'm a little out of date on the subject but that's probably the essence of it. David G3UNA
