noise reduction or expansion? (uncleMilt, San Ramon, CA, 2008-01-11)

I own a pair of Bose noise reducing headphones and bought the Sony headphones for my adult children as well as my wife before we flew across country. While my children found the headphones good for listening to their ipods, the noise reduction feature on the airplane was non-existent. In fact, the noise actually increased. Immediatly after turning on the NR switch the noise seemed to be reduced for a second or two before increasing. The frequency spectrum of the noise appeared to shift but was actually more annoying than the airplane noise without NR turned on. I'll stick to my Bose. Rather than returning the headphones, we decided to keep them simply for listening to music without the NR on.

Sony MDR-NC6 Noise-canceling Stereo Headphones (btdt, HAH, OH, 2008-02-29)

The set certainly does not appear to be refurbished even though that was clearly stamped on the package. I am very pleased with the quality of sound. I am listening to YES as I type this review and have never heard all the nuances of the music. I am thrilled! Clarity is wonderful. I wanted these headphones because my husband listens to the TV so loud that I often cannot concentrate at the computer. I can now work listening to my favorite music and not be distracted by the loud noises of action packed movies. The only drawback is the battery container as it pushes against your head, a design flaw in my opinion. With some adjusting you can minimize the pressure. I highly recommend this product!

Gift for Son (cyclo, North Carolina, 2008-01-18)

Purchased this for a gift for my son who loves his iPod. He opened them and put them down and said to send them back he had great headphones. I told him to throw them away- i was not sending back-there was nothing wrong with them. That night he went out of town and carried them with him. Until he left for his overseas journey every time after that i saw them around his neck. HE loved them after trying them. Soft around the ears and better at noise cancellation. The price was a huge savings. Only downside- this box comes with a huge mark- factory reconditioned-not great for a gift. Other than that- he is hard to please, impossible to shop for young adult- he loved this. makes me happy :).

Noise reducers (somewhat) (Stickman515, Oklahoma, 2008-03-19)

These would more properly be called "noise reducers" rather than cancellers. They work best at removing noise from the low-frequency sound range, and this is most obvious with constant level noise like motor engines or road noise, which is apparently why they are touted as an ideal gadget for airline travel. They definitely lowered road noise in the car. I will test the airline use as soon as possible. Don't expect any cancellation of higher-frequency sounds, like voices and the baby screaming across the aisle. Music sound quality was not as good as I expected; my little MP 3 ear pieces seem to have crisper rendering of the higher ranges.

Sony MDR-NC6 Noise-canceling Stereo Headphones (gopher33, Minneapolis, MN, 2008-02-18)

I bought these to use with my laptop and ipod during flights, and the noise canceling function makes a huge difference. I tried them out at home first and was a little disappointed that I couldn't turn the volume up more because the sound quality started to drop off. But when using the noise-canceling function, much less volume is required, and the result is very good sound quality at the reduced volume. These were listed as being 'refurbished', but they look and perform as though they are brand new. For the quality and (especially) the price, I would definitely recommend these to a friend.
