Sony MDR-NC50 Noise Canceling Headphones Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just tried these 'phones on with my iPod in the Sony store

they are DEFINITELY much better than the $300 Bose

here are the pros -

1. Sound Quality --- terrific sound quality --- I almost forgot I was standing in a store, because I was so wrapped up by how great my tunes were sounding

2. Noise Cancelling --- definitelymakes a difference here - there is more pureness and depth within each tune, once cancelling is on ----- however, the headphones still sound great even without Noise Cancelling on

3. Comfort ---- the ear-cups on these things are terrific! I hated how the $300 Bose had a type of 'suction' element to them - these cups wrap around real nicely, closing in on your ear, but making it fine to rest your head upon them, as well

4. MONITOR BUTTON --- this was really cool! These 'phones have a button on the side (a sliver button) that upon being pressed, the music is elimated and all outside noises are allowed in ----- thus, if someone approaches to talk to you, you can just press the monitor button and talk back, without even taking your 'phones off

5. Detachable Cable ---- I liked this --- these 'phones won't get caught up in cable binds

6. Built in battery -- not much to add here

7. Adjustments ---- the 'phones are easy to adjust and manuever

CONS ---- sadly, a few cons

1. Portability ---- the 'phones are small enough to put in a briefcase, backpack, and most laptop bags...... however, they don't fold up ---- rather, they become flat, but the middle doesn't fold in any way ---- so they are not as easy to pack, as most headphones

2. Comfort/FIT ------ personally, I have a BIG head, and one reason I abandoned my $300 Bose is because the snug fit gave me horrible headaches..... sadly, this Sony set seems to do the same ---- if you don't have this problem with other headphones though, then I doubt you'd have it with this one

otherwise though, for $120, these 'phones are a bargain!

Definitely an upgrade in sound quality over Sony's previous models ----- and definitely even BETTER in sound quality, compared to the $300 Bose

HAPPY LISTENING!!!!!
