Great value ANR headset

9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Decent noise-reduction, price
Cons Build-quality, less-than perfect comfort.
Recommended it? Yes

I bought these headphones more in hope than expectation, having also tried the Philips SHN2500, which didn't work at all.

Pros Excellent Audio<br>Digital Noise Canceling second to none
Cons FRAGILE<br>Input cable slightly undersized<br>Did I mention fragile?
Recommended it? Yes

I have owned my MDR-NC500d Digital Noise Canceling Headphones for a couple of months. I sampled several high-end headphones, and found these to be equal to all that I tried in sound quality. The Digital Noise Canceling circuitry bests all that I sampled, to including the Bose QC15, and... Read full review »
