“I take a lot of work calls while I am driving. My car is noisy and I get complaints from my coworkers about not being able to hear me and being irritated by the road noises in the background. Will these cancel out road noise? Or at least limit it?”

I'm chiming in to let you know to look elsewhere. The microphone does a *horrendous* job at cancelling out background noise. For example, I'll be on a call with my parents while doing little chores around the house. Occasionally they will say "what the heck are you doing?!". I'm usually taken aback because I'm just moving things off a counter or typing on a keyboard. They can hear everything! The microphone is much too sensitive in my opinion. The only remedy for this is for Jabra to add a microphone input threshhold to their app to limit background sounds. These headphones sound great, but unless you're sitting still and doing nothing, dont make a call on these things.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If they are properly fitted to your ears according to app. I found it cumbersome the first time, but now to avoid similar problems I do it and do it quickly whenever I'm going to use them in the car. I can hear people and people hear me, otherwise THEY CANNOT UNDERSTAND ME although I can understand them.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.These will cancel out noise wherever you are. I work in a call center like environment and it gets really loud but I can hear my music like I’m in a studio by myself. Calls are pretty good as well. I have noticed a little echo when on a call but other than that it does cancel out all other sounds.
