Are the mics for ambient noise in the controller, or are there mics on the exterior of the earbuds also? How long are the cables?

It has a mic for voice commands / phone calls in the main part of the unit that houses the battery. It also has what look like mics on the outside of each earbud. I don't have them with me right now but the cables to the earbuds are probably 2 feet long each.

They are in ear buds and keep a lot of noise out. Voices for sure, not sure on loud speakers.I would agree with D. Dwyer. I am super impressed with the mic. Noise canceling is OK. The volume control only works with Apple products.

They're actually very accurate mics, in my opinion. In that low of a price range I think you'll find them to be better, however they are pretty susceptible to noise, whether it's from interference, wind (even just from moving them), or the rumbling of handling the unit while you're recording. If you use external mics you don't get the handling noise, but the wind can be protected against with a wind screen. Despite all that noise stuff, I'm very happy with the internal mics! You just have to be careful while handling the unit when it's recording with them.

These cords are actually pretty long I believe they are about 4 feet so they reach a good way. They might even be more then that. I will be honest though these earphones aren't the greatest out of all of them only like 5 of them worked and not very well at that. They have a lot of static but it is still a good deal for the earphones if you don't mind the static and getting half of them to not work lol. I hope this helped you in making a decision. Have a great day and happy holidays!

Yes, they allow some outside sound. Very nice and sturdy earbuds, they held up better than any others that I've owned. The sound quality is on par with my Bose earbuds.

The earbuds with mic work ok with it, they will get wound up inside. I found that the coiling mechanism lost it's spring after about 2 weeks and I have to fold the headphones into fourths for it to work.

These do not have a microphone. I find the sound quality and ambient noise filtering quite satisfactory.

The included cables are about 2ft long each, the port on the mic is micro usb to standard usb.

not sure but I can tell you that the style of connector (cord to headset) is messed up. When I moved the cord it would make crackling noises in the headset over the audio. these headphones suck imo

3.5mm is a standard audio port. They're kinda over ear, but not very noise canceling

My mistake - these particular headphones DO HAVE A MIC. I've never used it, and the cord with the mic is still in the box. I've only used the mic-free cord for music listening.

The earbuds plug in to the mini usb on the headset. The mini port is multi-use. it's how you charge it AND attach the easrbuds. There are two clips that come with the unit. One attaches to the headset and replaces the "hook" that normally would around your ear. The other attaches to the cord of the earbuds for you to clip on your shirt. There is also another attachment that plugs in to the mini usb that allows you to use any stereo head set you choose. Sound quality certainly is not "Bose", but overall for the price does a decent job.

They are over-ear and do block out most ambient noise. If you're looking for something that lets you hear both music and your environment, these aren't it.

It comes with earbuds, plus another long wire that looks like the earbud cable, but is terminated in a small block of plastic. Either one work as an antenna. I soldered a short piece of a broken antenna to the ground lug on a phone jack. It is about 6" long extended and works fine for FM and weather where I live. A piece of wire or a flexible antenna from an old cordless phone would probably work too. If you are going to be in a remote area, then the earbudss or long antenna would be more efficient.

These are good at cancelling ambient noise such as you may experience in a train, bus or plane. People talking loudly close-by? Not so sure. The audio quality is up to scratch, I would definitely recommend them for music.
