I am looking for a good headset with a noise-canceling mic. Currently looking at Jabra evolve 65 and Voyager focus UC from Plantronics. Not sure which one to get and from where. Also not sure which company has better support in India. Is there any other company that makes better headsets? More on techenclave.com

The Evolve2 50 has Active Noise Cancelling, which is noise cancelling for the headset wearer. It does not have any effect on the microphone noise cancelling which is always active. The Evolve2 50 microphone is improved in that it will cut the mic when you are not talking. Otherwise it is pretty similar to the Evolve2 40. If you want to see a good comparison of the Evolve2 40 and 50, check this video by u/HeadsetAdvisor : https://youtu.be/i_3Vf-OPww0?t=1050 For a headset with a better microphone, check the Jabra Engage 50 II, or alternatively the Yealink UH37 or UH38.

I found this thread trying to solve the problem of too much gain on this Jabra device. I got a complaint while working from home that my kids were really loud in the background, so I spent some time trying to sound proof the room I work in. Nothing I did kept the noise down. I tested by setting the headset to "listen" to the mic in Volume properties so I could hear what the mic was picking up. I could hear my dog breathing in his sleep across the room even when the kids weren't there! The sensitivity was up WAY too high. By checking in headset properties > Levels, the slider was at 100% and would go back up automatically every time I moved it down manually, even with all of the communication apps closed. I realized it must be the headset itself that was causing the gain to rise and it must be way off in its calibration. I tried to getting the headset to automatically lower the mic level by talking loudly, but that wasn't enough. Frustrated, I shouted into the mic, and only at the very loudest peaks did it drop from 100 to 98. Seeing this, I covered the mic and shouted into my hand. Because I still had it on "listen", the speakers in the headset maxed out and started clipping, but the headset started dropping the mic sensitivity. I raised my voice until it had dropped the level to 2 and stopped to listen. I could no longer hear my dog, or my air conditioner in the background. With the Headset level at 2, I can still be heard clearly and the background noise is finally gone. I'm guessing they calibrated this mic at the factory with a chainsaw. More on reddit.com

Noise cancellation on the microphone is always enabled.

Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) is only for what you hear. When enabled it adjusts the sound signals on the speakers, to help reduce background noise for you. It does not have any effect on the mic.
