I posted this in another post but I want to good responses so sorry if you see this more then once.

Im am looking for new headphones and I LOVE Anker. But have a few questions, and just found this forum that I didn’t know existed, thank goodness maybe I can finally make a decision about which headphones to get haha.

So can anyone tell me:

  1. Does the cable that comes with it have a microphone in it? I am wanting to buy it to use with my Xbox and plug into my controller to play with my brothers online and talk to them. If not I can find a cable that has a mic just wondering, and I am pretty sure they will work but has anyone tried this? Seems pretty basic, as long as the end that is going into the controller has the three sections on the 3.5mm plug and the part into the headphones has only two it should work right? (I hope that makes sense haha)

My biggest question is, Can you just always have the noise cancellation off and if you have it off how much noise can you hear? I love everything about the Life 2 headphones that I have seen so far and they have everything that I want but not sure if I am going to be a huge fan of the ANC because I like to be aware of my surroundings, especially when I start going back to college.

I really like the Sony headphones that I have tried in the store but they are expensive and I have heard the customer support is not great. I have a pair of the NB10 Soundbuds sports and love them and trust Anker and their quality and support if I have any issues so much better. PLUS THE PRICE!
I know Anker has other Bluetooth over the ear headphones like this that don’t have Noise Canceling but the ear cups seem a lot smaller and that is the main reason I am looking for a new pair of headphones.

Thanks for any answers. I think i may have a few more questions but not sure what right now haha

@Darthscion, Yes you can uses these without having ANC turned on, in fact with it off it does a decent job of blocking outside noise since these are over the ear Headphones similar to closed back headphones.

The included cable does have a built in mic so you can use it plugged into your controller.

Sweet! Thank you! Adding these to my cart then. Wish they came in a diffrent color but i think ill get over it haha. I loved the red on the Sony Hea.r on2 H9000N but thats okay. Way to expensive. And i KNOW that if i dont like these or have any type of issues or just dont like them i know Anker will stand behind their product. I normally use my Skullcandy hesh headphones with one half off one of my ears anyway but they are way to small for my ears, its awful, they hurt after long use.

Thanks for your help!
