Author's Review
When I'm not playing baseball or working in the office, I enjoy to travel. I love my hometown of Chicago, but getting away is always a fun time. When traveling, usually airplane is the preferred choice when the trip is on the West Coast. To help ease the pain of flying I thought that getting a pair of noise canceling headphones would help to tune out the airplane cabin noise.
After searching around for some options, I found that Sony makes a good quality set the Sony MDR-NC6 Consumer Headphones. The average price was around fourty dollars when I first went looking. After about twenty minutes I found a pair for twenty dollars on http://www.ebay.com. I immediately bought them. Total for the purchase was about twenty-five dollars.
When they arrived I immediately took them out of the package. The headphones come with a carrying bag and require one AAA battery to work (Battery not included). I inserted the battery and tested the headphones. I was amazed at the quality of the headphones immediately. The sound was better than some of the other ones in this class. With my flight scheduled in a few days, I figured that would provide an adequate test.
When the flight started, it was loud in the cabin due to me sitting my the engine. When we reached the predetermined altitude, I quickly switched on the heaphones. Immediately it canceled out the constant rumble of the aircraft. When I put on my MP3 player, the music didn't have to be loud at all. I was able to quitely listen and not have to worry about the aircraft noise. An amazing piece of equipment those headphones are.
After the plane ride home, I had a road trip planned for a few days ahead. With the success of the headphones in the plane, I thought that they would be able to easily handle the road rumble as well. I was correct. During the trip the headphones completely eliminated the road rumble and made the trip nice and easy.
Overall, these are definitely worth the money. A super good buy! No major downsides here. The battery life is great!
