There is a noise cancellation feature, but the reviews suggest that this might not be as good as its pricier competitors.
In a review on Amazon’s website, one customer said: “The sound quality is very good.
“The best part is that the bass is clear and not boomy as on other cheaper earbuds I have used.
“Noise cancellation seems to work to an extent, but I have not been overly impressed.”

Another said: “The buds fit very well with no movement when i’m running about.
“Bluetooth connection with my phone is stable, sound quality is perfect for my needs, pass-through function is very good, active noise cancelling is ok, definitely noticeable but doesn’t cut out all ambient noise.”
All prices were correct at the time of writing.
