The noise canceling function is effective for low-pitched sounds such as noise in a vehicle and noise from air conditioners in a room but less effective for relatively high-pitched sounds such as announcements, conversations and bells in vehicles.
Take note that the volume of the music returns to its original settings when the Touch & Talk function is canceled.
Even when the Touch & Talk function is used, you may not be able to hear surrounding sounds depending on the volume of the music.
