The noise cancelling blocks out the background noise of the kids and the dogs being ridiculous right outside my home office door in the middle of a meeting.

What a great way to keep focused on those meetings! I'm a new WFM person and sometimes you really need to block out those distractions!

[daniel_ummelmann]

Sitting in homeoffice with two young children jumping around you, while you've got a meeting would be impossible without noise removal. I don't want to use something else anymore (in-fact without this feature meetings would be impossible for me as long as the kids are not in bed).

[NikhilJohn]

Daily we will be having couple of emergency meetings for no reasons. It will be very difficult to move to a closed room always and stay away from background noise of the kids and pets. With the noise cancellation feature, its got reduced to some extend. Thanks Cisco.

It is always embarrassing when you are "listening" to your boss a meeting and then everything goes silent...only for you to realize they asked you a question and everyone is waiting to hear your answer.  Anything to cut down on those moments of discomfort!

With the children at home; wife watching TV and the washing going on at the background. I use to put myself on mute at all time and only unmuted when I wanted to talk. Sometimes I thought that I have unmuted myself only when other people in the meeting telling me I was not.

The feature allow me have to be in the meeting without the "mute and nu- mute" routine.

i've used this feature, it's useful , specifically when i work from home also with kids also at home. they talk loudly this  helps to mitigate the impact

The noise removal feature allows seamless virtual discussions with little to no local distractions.  Teleworking is here to stay and with children also being home, it can be somewhat difficult to focus on the task at hand and these headphones help to minimize the distractions.

This is a great feature. Blocks the dog barking and kids at times while I am on calls. 

[basschica]

Now that I work from home permanently (the 1 good thing to come from COVID),  I have the cutest furry co-workers, but sometimes, they think I'm talking to them instead of whomever I'm on a Webex with...so the noise cancellation can come in really handy for them; especially when the dogs are downstairs barking at every single thing that's outside.

Too bad the noise reduction doesn't stop the Spam responses to this thread. Woke to find my in-box overflowing with responses from folks trying to win the headset. 

[abigamero]

I am using to remove background noise of my neighbor's mower

[Hank Keleher]

It has definitely come in handy when working from home with kids and dogs doing their noisy things around the house!

[EstebanBenvenuto42694]

Really great feature!!! Specially if you have kids, dogs and a "talkative" spouse :). Really enjoying the feature!!! Great job Webex team!!! Keep on the same track!

I have never tried a set of these headphones, so I have 0 basis for comparision.
