    Sony earphones are omnipresent, so maybe we're overly attuned to the Sony sound, but these are still undeniably pretty great for their comparatively reasonable 100 knicker Read more

    After owning the previous version of this headset I bought this updated version for my Aunt who is currently in a senior care home. She uses the noise cancelling ability when it gets noisy around her and uses the audio jack when she wants to listen to a radio, privately. It has been a great purchase to make her stay at the care facility more under her control Read more

    I use the headphones to block out dorm room noise while I am trying to study and they are not great for that. They do cut it down some. I use them in the library for the same purpose and they do help me to concentrate. I wish they cut out more conversational tones--higher pitches. Read more

    Amazon Verified Purchase ( What's this? ) I was initially a little concerned about these headphones because some reviews I read said that one of the earpieces would "buzz" and also that the noise canceling feature can irritate the ears on some people. My experience is that the sound quality is excellent and there is no "buzz", at least in my pair. I have owned electronic devices before which emitted a high-pitched electromagnetic "buzz" that other people couldn't hear,... Read more

    Excellent headphones for the money, extremely comfortable, for long journeys, purchased with trip to OZ in mind, and did the trick. Lent them to my father, who loved them as well, so got him a set for his Xmas. Bought both sets from amazon, and service was great as per usual. Read more
