Decent after fiddling with them

byrmarchand98119 Dec 27, 2005
8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Comfortable. Light weight. Flexible. Decent sound once you get fit right.
Cons Just "decent" sound quality. Not good for total silence.
Recommended it? No

These are rather interesting headphones in that they took a lot of fiddling in order to actually figure out how to wear them, effectively.

I'll say this right off: These seem to be designed to do their best while listening to something through them, not for total silence (Which is fine... Read full review »

Bo--o-o-gus

Pros Nice idea: small, compact noise canceling headphones. Sony name. Come with neat little...
Cons Poor design, poor fit, noise cancellation doesn't really work.
Recommended it? No

Avoid these. Touted as noise canceling, they do no better than any well-sealing earbud, and they fit poorly for most people to boot. Sony engineers seem to have missed the point that the human ear canal faces rearward. The way these turkeys are designed, the L shaped boom gets in the way of the... Read full review »

Makes more noise than it cancels.

Pros NONE !!!
Cons Zero Noise cancellation, uncomfortable, miserable base response, poor fidelity, poor fit,...
Recommended it? No

There is absolutely no noise cancellation effect for normal annoying audio sounds like other peoples televisions or music. To prove this I turned on the television while listing to music from my ipod. I then repeatedly turned on and off the noise cancellation function of the Sony ear buds. There... Read full review »

Noise reduction... well, kind of

bykieranlavin Aug 17, 2005
10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros small, lightweight, work for the average train commuter (for a while)
Cons noise-cancelling is VERY bogus
Recommended it? No

I bought my set of earbuds to go with my iPod on my morning commute on the train (and a 10-15 minute walk on either side of the train). They work decent for me in my situation. I'm just looking to drown out the ambient noise of the commuters around me and the noise of the train itself. These... Read full review »

Excellent Buy.

byellisgnome Aug 24, 2004
3 Helpfuls 4 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Small, excellent clarity, good ANC
Cons a bit skimpy on the bass but not that bad.
Recommended it? Yes

I am a musician (professional) and I travel by air a great deal of the time. I have had the Bose, Etymotics, and Senn. earphones. While I enjoy my Etymotics a great deal- on occasion they don't block out everything. I have found the Sony to be small, and what it lacks in the bass range it more than... Read full review »

It Better Fit, Or Else...

byewads Aug 1, 2004
16 Helpfuls 17 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros Great for those looking for a truly portable noise-canceling solution.
Cons With earbuds, you always sacrifice some performance. Might not fit you.
Recommended it? Yes

Are you confused by the polar opposite reviews you see everywhere about these little earbuds? Some people say they sound tinny with weak bass, while others say they have overpowering bass and weak highs. Some people say these earbuds don't do any noise-cancelling, while others say they block out... Read full review »

They work great for me. I love them.

Pros Seal out noise, have great bass response, lightweight, comfortable for very long periods...
Cons I wish the electronic noise canceling was a little stronger. Expensive.
Recommended it? Yes

I don't know what everyone is complaining about. These Sony ear buds are the greatest thing to ever come along for me. Perhaps these people are not getting the correct fit for their ears.

For me, they seal in my ears perfectly and have full, rich dynamic sound. They have great bass with... Read full review »

Very comfortable, good sound quality, but overpriced.

Pros Good sound quality, impressive bass for earbuds, comfortable.
Cons Noise cancelling is not what I thought it would be; silicon earbuds can be lost.
Recommended it? No

I purchased a set of Sony's MDR-NC11 noise-cancelling earbuds approximately four months ago, and have been using them extensively ever since. I purchased them because I was looking for small yet high-quality headphones that I could easily carry around with me. Sony's list price for them is $149,... Read full review »

Compact noise reduction, but do not excel at anything

bypablo_lie Mar 18, 2004
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Compact, comfortable combined with some noise reduction, ridiculous list price
Cons Poor sound quality, cabling could be slicker
Recommended it? No

I will concur with those that give a more lukewarm review on these headphones.

Whether you keep them or run back to demand a refund will merely depend on how much you value the ability to have noise reducing (let's fool not anyone: these do not *cancel* noise) earbuds that are very... Read full review »
