  1. Sony MDR-NC60

    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

  2. Review: Sony MDR-NC60 Headphones

    Reviewer: E-Gear

    My experiences with headphones, especially on long or even short flights around the country, have never been very facilitating. Many times, I’d hear the person sitting next to me talking to a friend across the aisle or the flight attendant asking those individuals sitting around me what beverages they wanted to drink. I recently had the opportunity to review Sony’s MDR-NC60 Noise Canceling Headphones on a flight across this great country of ours and can quite... 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 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, so I would say I have relatively sensitive... Read more

    I have used these for several 15 hour nonstop flights and found them to be comfortable for the entire flight. I don't know how I endured without them before, and won't take any trip over an hour without them! Read more

    This review is from: Sony MDR-NC60 High Quality Noise Cancelling Headphones (Electronics) The noise cancelling is ok, and is good for cancelling out engine noises on a plane. Though strangely some noises are more evident when you turn the NC on. Essentially they are good heaphones Read more

    Wow what can I say about the Sony headphones? They are the best! I did some research on noise cancelling headphones because I did not want to pay $300+ for bose. I found the Sony's and could not believe how great they work. Even if the battery is off you still get some benefits of noise cancellation. The sound is excellent. I recommend that you try these first before shelling out hundreds more on simular products!! Read more
