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?

      The next time she’s on a call with her headset, ask her to pull down from the top right (control center).

      There should be a “Mic mode”. Click on that and turn on Voice isolation.
