Pretty excellent headphones for the price. Small heavy on the bass, and can hurt after a few hours of wearing. I have all my music on my cell phone (LG DARE), after using these headphones with my cell, my cell phone speakers and mic no longer worked. Had to get a new cell phone. I am trying to find out why this is a problem.
I like Sony products, but this one wasn’t up to expectations. It is very excellent in terms of noise canceling, but it is not comfortable and it usually cause me headaches.
I didn’t even have the chance to try out the noise cancelling. . didn’t have a AAA battery on hand. Unfortunately for the headphones, they’re very uncomfortable in a way that I have them on for more than 5 minutes and my head starts aching. I don’t have a large head (usually I run into the problem with things are too huge for my head) and my younger sister tried them on and had that problem too. They press against your ear in a way that is rather uncomfortable. I haven’t had over-ear headphones in a while but I don’t remember my last pair being like that.
The sound seemed pretty excellent and the earphones themselved muffled sounds without noise-cancelling on, but there’s really no point in having them if they give me a headache.
The headphones are compact and simple to travel with. They had fantastic sound for the on board movie and were okay on noise reduction. Because they sit on the ear rather than over/around it, the pressure from the headphones hurt my ears for days my trip (really just my right ear). I coudn’t even sleep on my right side. If you really want noise reduction and comfort, Bose are better (but I had two of those break so chose not to buy them again)
I use it ALL the time when I travel on a place. Fantastic noise reduction!
