Digital camera reviews of Sony MDR-NC50 Noise Canceling Headphones

Digital camera Review: A little more money goes a long way.....
Summary: 5 Stars

I have had these about 3 days and I really enjoy them....

1. Sound: I will use these to listen to music when I am sitting at my computer; i am using iTunes to surf my collection. It really does sound great. However it is clear that the noise cancellig feature quite attenuates the high frequencies. I use the equalizer to boost the frequencies that are lost (and then some....). Of course there is a switch on the side to TURN OFF THE NOISE CANCELLING. Yes - then YOU can decide whether it is necessary in your situation.

2. Comfort: These fit AROUND my ears. The padding is great. I don't know about these 'feeling hot' as some other reviewers have stated, I bought them in January (2007) - the room is warm however - I have crossfire x1950xtx's keeping things toasty.........The head phones are comfortable. I have normal ears....I have worn these all night.

3. There is this button on the side called 'monitor' that cuts out the line sound and allows you to hear whats around the room - I think the noise cancelling microphones kick in to amplify what's happening in the room. BRILLIANT! No messing around with keyboard buttons or control panels or removing the headphones. I love these headphones.

4. Playing PC games - FEAR - I unquestionably enjoyed these headphones. My RIG is big and LOUD and the sound was blocked out with these Headphones.

5. Actually my IPOD 40Gig 4th generation with the VOLUME TURNED UP TO THE MAXIMUM drives this pair of HEADPHONES - it soundS great.

6. I COULD NOT COMPARE THESE TO ANY OTHER RECENT HEADPHONES - but I usually listen to my music at '11' in my car, or on my pair of 200 WATT CAMBER speakers - I want to hear it all. Also - these headphones are as good as any pair i have ever owned. I want to buy a second pair....

7. The extra carying case, the airplane phone jack, and the 1/8th to 1/4 in ADAPTER are great additions.
