Does the Airpods mic cancel out background noise and ONLY focus on speaker's voice during calls? - eviltoast

Context: My wife works in NYC, and taking calls from her when she’s walking to and from the train is maddening–her current earbuds (Jabra Elite 75T, which are awesome otherwise!) pick up EVERY passing car, jackhammer, firetruck, etc. Do Airpods have some magical ability to only pick up her voice and really minimize the sounds of the busy city? Or is there some setting we’re missing?

    I have the AirPods Max and I can’t take calls on them when I’m anywhere noisy. It’s annoying because I need the noise cancellation to hear the caller. I wish you could use the iPhones mic to talk into and the AirPods to listen to.
