I don't think you said which model you purchased. Just out of curiosity, I checked the eHam reviews -- all pretty good, and looked at the info on his website. While I've never touched one of these, he advertises the microphone element as being "wide range" (100Hz-16Khz) , so that shouldn't have been much of a surprise if you were looking for nicely pinched "communications" audio out of the box.
There is no advertising or specification reference to noise cancellation in the headset, and the mic is likely typical of most ported acoustic noise cancellation mics. It's apparently acoustic (given the pricing) and not electronic, probably doesn't work miracles, but probably does lower the level of extraneous background noise a bit. Doesn't sound like what one gets for $50 was misrepresented ...
