tl;dr version
For those of you with un-rooted handsets who have upgraded OTA to 23.0.1.A.0.167 / 4.4.4, does the noise cancellation function still work with the supplied headset?
Longer version for those who like context...:
My UK, sim-free and un-rooted Z2 has finally asked to update to 23.0.1.A.0.167. The major gripes on here seem to be around icon size and camera lag, both of which I reckon I can live with.
There have been some reports, however, of the noise cancellation function no longer working with the supplied headset. This would be a deal-breaker for me, and I'd rather stay on 4.4.2 if that's the case. My Z2 is un-rooted, and I have no desire to root, as it would break an internet banking app that I use a lot. Thus I have no method that I know of to downgrade back to 4.4.2 if the noise cancellation function is indeed borked.
A bit of Googling suggests that at least some of the problems with nosie cancellation are from those running rooted handsets, and/or who have "manually" upgraded to 4.4.4 using a stock ROM.
