Noise Cancelling Functions Failed!

9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros It WAS a great headset, when it was working.
Cons Noise cancelling circuitry failed after expiration of manufacturer's limited...
Recommended it? No

In February 2006, I reviewed this product in detail ("Geez, What's All the Whining About?") and gave it a four-star rating. I concluded at that time, among other things, that the Sony headset was comparable to the Bose QC-2 headphones and a far better value for what they cost. I was apparently... Read full review »

Definitely not worth the money (too bad)

Pros Sturdy, pretty.
Cons Bad sound quality (!!), expensive.
Recommended it? No

I had high hopes for these headphones. I've been traveling a lot more recently (long plane rides) and decided to look into noise canceling headphones. I chose the NC50's because they were circum-aural (going around the ears) which I thought would be more comfortable an effective. Plus, they look... Read full review »

Pros Well made, solid, good price compared with Bose
Cons Do not like high volumes from iPoD
Recommended it? Yes

Pros Comfortable, in-flight adapter, heavy-duty storage / carrying case
Cons lack of bass, exhibits hiss and hum, non-coiled wire, too expensive
Recommended it? No

I purchased a set of these headphones with the intention that they would be great for use at work. When I got them home and hooked them up, I found the sound quality to be terrible. These headphones exhibit a profound lack of bass; having owned several pair of high-end SONY headphones over the... Read full review »

Noise Making Headphones

byachantra Apr 23, 2006
2 Helpfuls 3 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Can be used with the noise canceling function off, comes with handy carrying case.
Cons Screeching noise, mediocre sound quality, heavy.
Recommended it? No

As with many purchasers of noise-canceling headphones, I bought these to be used on an airplane. However, from the first flight I used them on, they were extremely problematic. After about fifteen minutes of usage, there was a loud screeching noise coming from the right headphone. I had to turn off... Read full review »
