What headphones to buy so that only me can be heard when talking?

Question

Audio

Hello, I often work in different places on my laptop and have to call up clients. Now I have ordinary wired headphones with a microphone with "noise reduction", which is only in the description of the characteristics, but in reality does not work.
There is a budget of 6000-8000 rubles. I need headphones with a microphone that will not hear sound further than half a meter from me and will not pick up the noise around. Maybe there are solutions like people who work in call centers, where there is a lot of noise around, but it feels like they are sitting in an office
. Is it possible to buy such headphones or a headset for such an amount? What models?

Thank you!

Answer 1

No. Even directional microphones will pick up extraneous sounds. It's not the distance, it's the echo. As long as there are no sound diffusers around, everything you hear will fall into the microphone. The sound can be even from a neighboring room. Noise cancelers and all sorts of fluff cut off only monotonous sounds, but sharp clatter of cymbals, cars, etc. almost no softening

Answer 2

Of course, there are, for example, Plantronics or Jabra release them (and not only all sorts of synheizers are also present),
There is a channel where a person tests different headsets in terms of microphone and noise reduction. If you need something cheaper, there's ebay. https://www.youtube.com/c/CallOneInc/featured
PS In addition to a noise-canceling microphone, the more expensive ones also have noise-canceling headphones so that you can also hear your interlocutor normally.

Answer 3

There are software solutions
that remove extraneous sounds from the audio stream:
- https://krisp.ai - $5 per month
- RTX Voice - free, but only works if you have an nVidia card
