Digital camera reviews of Sony MDR-NC6 Noise Canceling Headphones
Digital camera Review: Does what I need it to do
Summary: 4 Stars
These headphones, while not the quality of a Bose (and certainly not the price!) do just what I ask. They cancel outside noise fairly nicely and produce a nice sound from my iPod. In addition, the headpieces turn so that they lie flatter than if they were 'regular' headphones.
Worth the price!
Digital camera Review: Doesn't cancel noise, just changes it
Summary: 2 Stars
Cheap noise-canceling earphones like this seem to simply change the nature of the noise. A loud AC is the perfect noise for noise canceling technology since it is so invariant. These earphones simply change the nature of the sound while giving your ear the impression of being buffeted. I would recommend getting something else.
The bass is a little weak, but on the whole the music reproduction isn't bad, except for the uncomfortable feeling of listening to loud music without actually hearing loud music.
Also, the battery compartment presses up against the top of my head which makes it doubly uncomfortable to wear.
On the plus side, it comes in a nice little bag.
Digital camera Review: Don't Lose your Money nor time!
Summary: 2 Stars
Sony in general has been disappointing in every field lately (don't know about Sony Television Channels). It is accessible, no doubt about it, but it has no consistency. It starts fairly well and after 1 hour of flight, it is clumsy, undistinguished sound. Definetely not worth. Fortunately it doesn't cost like a Bose, but it has nothing to do with a Bose. Ergonomics also is a failure. Battery life a question mark, you never know. It hurts the ears after a while. Worst of all, NO GOOD SOUND QUALITY. Even without ambience sound like air travel. Even sitting on a temple, without anyone around, sound does not convince. I do not recommend it at all, although it is low cost. Buy I would recommend it only if in an emergency. BUt remember, it won't last. Everyday it passes it gets worse. Very short useful life.
Digital camera Review: Don't Waste Your Money
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought a pair of these in mid July for $50. I thought they were pretty good, and was starting to like them. A couple of days ago, the noise canceling was turning on and off, before shutting off completely. I figured the battery had died, but when I bought new batteries today the noise cancelling function would not work, less than two months and they are now basically the $20 headphones that I should have bought in the first place, but they cost me $30 more. Don't buy these they're garbage.Digital camera Review: Don't buy it for the noise cancellation
Summary: 3 Stars
Bought it for office use since I work in a cubicle environment. There's an audible hiss when noise cancellation is turned on and it actually feels like driving at a high altitude if the NC is on. Music quality is quite good but no giant leap from my cheaper headphones. Comfortable around the ear even for long durations.
