 Good value for money May 27, 2008

These were the first noise cancelling headphones I've used. For the price I feel they do a decent job of reducing the background noise on planes, and generally I can't believe that much more expensive models could do a vastly superior job. Why spend 200 more? Can't see the point myself. Give these a go and see for yourself.

Traffic noise is a major problem when using ones mp3 player out and about. I decided to invest in some noise cancelling headphones. As passive headphones these are great, sound is awesome BUT turn on the noise cancellation and, yes background noise is reduced slightly, but the slightest breeze goes past and all you can hear is CSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH CSHHHHHHHHHHH CSHHHHHHHHHH louder than any noise or music. Essentially, this makes them unfit for purpose
 Fairly effective, but not great. September 28, 2007

These are pretty effective at low frequency noise, but unless the whole environment is quite noisy then they do have a noticeable background hiss when the noise cancelling is switched on, which I find annoying. On the other hand they are quite light and comfortable, so make reasonable everyday headphones with the noise cancelling off.

I purchased these for listening to classical music during the walk to work so dealing with traffic noise was a major factor. Good and bad news on this front. The good news is that traffic noise is much reduced. The bad news is that this comes from these phones ability to magnify the lightest of summer breezes into a rip-roaring, state of Florida flattening hurricane howling in your ears.
If you've ever wondered how the Berlin Philharmonic would sound if they were playing Ride of the Valkeries while Miami is being flattened all around them by Hurricane Harriet then reach for your wallet now. Otherwise ...
Maybe they'll work better in a windless environment but these are essentially useless outdoors.

1. Generally, these headphones are very well made, attractive design, the usual Sony quality.
2. The cable is quite short if you intend to use these with a home hi-fi. Looks like you get about a metre - which is fine for travelling or a portable device, I guess.
3. The noise cancelling works. In an office environment, it completely blocks out the background rumble of the air conditioning. Flick the switch, and about a second later there is silence. Doesn't work on fast changing noise though - colleagues chattering etc.
4. No battery included in the retail packaging: needs a single AAA 1.5V. You do get an adapter for use on aircraft though (double 3.5mm jack plug).
5. If I had paid High Street retail ( 50) I'd be a little disappointed. But for 35 delivered, they represent pretty good value.
6. Sound quality is perfectly acceptable. I'm no audiophile, but the overall experience is good.
7. Overall: recommended.
