Digital camera reviews of Sony MDR-NC6 Noise Canceling Headphones

Digital camera Review: Best use is on an airline flight. Ok overall for the money.
Summary: 3 Stars

I've used these for about 3 weeks now.

Riding on the subway, they reduce some of the noise, but not any of the louder screeches or door chimes.

In general, I don't like using the noise cancellation all the time, and even with noise cancellation, these only boost the volume so far. Sometimes an ear bud closer in your ear, will give a better volume level.

However, on a recent JetBlue flight I noticed that these performed excellent overall.
They eliminated the annoying "air flow" sound nicely, some of the jet noise, and have wonderful volume boost, compared to the freebie Jet Blue head phones.

Construction is a little flimsy, but I don't "anticipate" that with normal use that these should stop performing in any way. If they do, they will be promptly returned.

Over all, for the money these are decent, for specific use. Not really worth it to lug these around all day everyday.

Digital camera Review: Better than expected
Summary: 5 Stars

I recently used these on an airplane trip listening to my IPOD. They were very effective in blocking out the noise.

Digital camera Review: Better than expected
Summary: 4 Stars

These are by no means the best headphones in the world. And now, after about a year of ownership, i think the wires may be coming apart.

However, that's really the only bad things about these headphones. They have quite good sound quality. The noise canceling feature works well, if not perfect, but is a godsend on airline flights. I queue an album or two on my mp3 player, put these on, and sleep like a rock. I really can't imagine flights without these. They're well priced, and are pretty comfortable. When I bought them, I thought I'd only use them on plane trips. But they've become my default headphones for my computer and movies.

Not perfect, but definitely worth the purchase.

Digital camera Review: Big Disappointment!
Summary: 1 Stars

Not worth the money for sure. I bought a pair of Maxell headphones at Walmart because my order didn't arrive in time for our plane trip. Amazon customer service was fantastic to reship to our hotel in Hawaii and they arrived in time for our flight home. We compared Sony vs. Maxell side by side and Sony was no better than your average $5.00 pair of headphones. A real bummer!

Digital camera Review: Calling it a Noise Canceling Headphone a big joke
Summary: 1 Stars

Have been using it for past month plus, but the same by no means can be called as a noise cancelling headphone. I purchsed relying on the name - SONY, but this product has not lived upto the standards of the company. The 1 star rating is for headphone working properly as a normal headphone. When wearing the headphone and switching on the noise canceling and listening songs from my Sandisk MP3 player, even the keyboard strokes of my laptop I was using could be heard so easily. I felt I would have purchased a better product at 30$ - normal headphones...
