Cool Hive account@guzman. Yea - this mic has A few different mic settings and can filter out background noises. The background noises cancelling works well in some instances, but in some cases where the background noises and music is loud it still picks up a bit. It's nice though that I don't need a fully aoundproof enclosure to do my recordings. I can just close the door to my home office which is enough to record good enough quality audio.
