And there's room for improvement in this very area: after you say 'hey Siri', there's no immediate feedback that you were heard (as there was when you double-tapped) - if you wait a second or two, Siri will eventually say "Mhm?" or "How can I help?".
I don't own Airpods but do own a pair of Homepods. When I invoke the beloved command "Hey Siri" I continue with the "command" immediately with no pause, meaning there is no wait for an acknowledgement from Siri. You might want to check this method out.
I do the same with my phone and watch. In a noisy environment, I will sometimes wait for the indicator to appear, and then start talking, but most often, I just pause for a half second or so before going into the command.
I have the new version of the AirPods and they are my first pair. Overall, they are good as long as the environment around you is relatively quiet and/or what you're listening to is of a low volume (for example, some classical music- which I listen to a lot).
Using them in my gym, I often will hear the music from the gym's PA system over what's playing on my iPhone. My old noise cancelling earphones that were able to block even the noise of a NYC subway are still in my daypack because the subway just laughs at AirPods.
So I like my AirPods but really wish that noise cancellation was a feature. I really didn't feel like waiting another eight or nine months for the chance that AirPod 3 would come out with that feature.
You might want to check out on PowerBeat Pro. It has NC.
Actually I don’t think the Pro’s have true NC. They just seal in the ear locking out much of the ambient noise.

Thats correct. No actual noise canceling.
