Sony Mdrnc22/Blk Noise Canceling Headphone (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I recently compared the Bose QC2 headphones (an obscene $299) with the cheaper Sennheiser PXC-300 ($159.99) and the new Sony MDR-NC22s ($70.00).The Sennheiser's are a smaller design that does not completely cover your ear and comes in a smaller case, which is more convenient for travelling.The Sony's are an in-ear solution, and have the smallest case.All have active noise canceling.

I did my testing in the rear of an Boeing 737.The rear is generally the noisiest location in an airplane.My primary testing criteria was which headphone reduced overall noise the best.I also listened to see which headphone allowed me to listen to music and audio programs (podcasts) at the lowest volume level.I was really hoping that one of the cheaper options would be better than the Bose, but they weren't.

The Bose knocked out the most airplane noise and allowed me to listen to music at the lowest volume level and still hear it.The Sennheiser was next, and the Sony was last.The Sony also suffered from a noticeable hiss noise which you could easily hear on audio programs and music played at a low volume.

In short, if you want the best, it is still Bose.If you want to pay a little less and don't mind that you're not getting the best, the Sennheiser is a good choice.The Sony is a good choice only if you can't afford the Sennheiser and you want to play music LOUD.
