Digital camera reviews of Sony MDR-NC6 Noise Canceling Headphones
Digital camera Review: 32 yr old music lover gives 4 stars for these headphones because...
Summary: 4 Stars
Of the price for one. Second, the sound quality. These pick up even the lowest of the bass lines in a lot of my music. They are lightweight, foldable, and shut out quite a bit of noise. However, they are not shure, bose, or on par with some of the $190.00 noise cancelling ones. My only complaint is the foam padding. I do wish that Sony used memory foam with vinyl at least. But, again...for the price. it's a great buy.Digital camera Review: A bit uncomfortable
Summary: 3 Stars
I use these when I'm on my eliptical cycle in the basement. It very effectively drowns out the noise of the eliptical cycle and the noise from the boiler. It does not drown out outside voices, however.
I find the headphones uncomfortable. The foam padding on the ears do not do a good job providing comfort. You can definately feel the hard plastic of the headphone directly on your ears.
Digital camera Review: A good value for the price
Summary: 4 Stars
This headphone is inexpensive for a noise-cancelling set. Fairly comfortable. Decent sound. Durable. I would recommend for the price.Digital camera Review: A great value in noise canceling headphones
Summary: 4 Stars
As a frequent traveler I had want a set of noise canceling headphones but was far too cheap to spring for the $300-400 ones. I bought these on a whim for my wife and I and we used them on a non-stop from Atlanta to Hawaii. They were great particularly on the red-eye back! I highly recommend them as a great value.Digital camera Review: A step above conventional headphones
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my first pair of noise-canceling headphones, and I chose this model because I've always liked Sony headphones, and the price was great. I am currently deployed in Baghdad, Iraq, and there is a LOT of ambient noise which forced me to crank up the volume on my Logitech headphones. The drone of helicopters, armored vehicles, Humvees, diesel generators, and even the air conditioner, prompted a solution. I was amazed - the moment you turn them on, there is a brief pause as the unit counters the background noise, which the listener hears as a quick "deadening" of one's surroundings. It is similar to walking into a soundproofed room. The volume is automatically reduced accordingly, and as a result, the clarity of what you are listening to is increased dramatically. I use this with my XBOX 360, and the audio coming from games, movies, and music is much more dynamic. Conventional headphones cannot compare - once you try these, you'll surely be impressed. This is a good product for first-timers, or for the non-audiophile who can do without the frills of more expensive units.
One note: noise-canceling headphones DO NOT cancel the entire range of frequencies, or perform this to 100%. It functions around 80-90%. I am still able to hear conversations and most high-pitched sounds, though notably diminished. View the frequency-range for the noise-canceling function before purchasing. Your needs may differ from mine.
