Editorial Review: Product Description: Sony In Ear Noise Cancelling Headphones Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Noise generating earphonesI am not a bass fanatic, but the bass from these was weedy, even for me. The noise cancelling feature does absolutely nothing, as far as I can hear, apart from adding some background hiss. I suspect that the efficiency of these earphones probably depends mostly on how well they fit in your ear. I just about get the smallest size in and I wouldn't say they were comfortable. I've had a better listening experienced from headphones costing much less, and I haven't got any (apart from these), that cost more than ten quid. Rating:  - Worked Well for 5 months then died - poor buildThese worked quite well blocking out ambient low frequency noise i.e. air conditioning, train rumble by about 50%; I do not think they are designed to block sudden or high frequency noises. Unfortunately after 4 months infrequent use the sound dropped on one channel, so I returned them to Amazon. As a result I would conclude that they are not up to the usual build standard for Sony, I have used their EX71 earbud phones and they are still going after three years. Rating: - MDR-NC11 noise Cancelling HeadphonesThese noise cancelling headphones have been a disappointment. There is a tendancy for headphones to fall out of the ear (unless you hold them in), with any of the supplied three sizes of earbud. The bass is poor, when connected to a Samsung MP3 player, the volume is much less than with Samsung headphones. Sure I can turn up the volume, but that eats the battery. There is little noise cancelling effect apart from as earplugs - the instructions inside do say it all depends on the fit to your ear. You get to see this after you have bought them. The rubber earbuds easily fall off and could get lost. In short not fit for purpose. Rating:  - Great on planes, OK on trainsThese headphones come into their own on a plane, where the constant roar is reduced to a quiet hiss. This means you can listen to music in comfort, or just turn off your music source and enjoy the peace. The noise cancelling effect is marginal on a train, and negligible with irregular sources such as voices or general office background noise. Battery life is good, and anyway you only need to replace one AAA battery. It took a while to get them to fit my ears, but Sony provide covers in 3 sizes so you have to experiment. Because of the extra weight in each earpiece (i.e. the microphones that pick up the ambient noise), they're prone to fall out if you move about. So I've gone back to regular headphones for normal use. Read More: Rating:  - OK but limitedI bought these under the belief that they would provided dynamic noise cancellation to most ambient noise on trains, A/C in the office, planes etc. The reality after 4 months is I find it hard to detect any difference between on/off in most environments. Sure noise is cancelled but most of the effect seems to be as an ear plug. The exception is planes where they do seem to partially cancel the rush of air over the fuselage, but certainly not the engines. To me they just seem to play static white noise which the instruction says is there to show they're working. The headphones are good. Sound quality improves with the cancel feature switched on but this seems more through amplification than cancellation of ambient noise. |
