byAndyman May 15, 2009
21 Helpfuls 22 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Comfortable, good sound quality, effective noise cancelling, good value.
Cons May not be large enough for big heads. Fussy cable a pain in the butt.
Recommended it? Yes

I found these headphones to be an excellent value with good sound quality, decent noise suppression, comfortable ergonomics, and a friendly price. They make a nice seal on your head when you wear them, but they remain comfortable.

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 »
