Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony MDR-NC6 Noise Canceling Headphones
Customer Review: Doesn't cancel noise, just changes it
Summary: 2 Stars
Cheap noise-canceling earphones like this seem to simply change the nature of the noise. A loud AC is the perfect noise for noise canceling technology since it is so invariant. These earphones simply change the nature of the sound while giving your ear the impression of being buffeted. I would recommend getting something else.
The bass is a little weak, but on the whole the music reproduction isn't bad, except for the uncomfortable feeling of listening to loud music without actually hearing loud music.
Also, the battery compartment presses up against the top of my head which makes it doubly uncomfortable to wear.
On the plus side, it comes in a nice little bag.
Customer Review: Don't even think about it!
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased last november five MDR-NC6 for my company. The left side on two of them don't work any more, and the noise canceling is a joke.
I just called Sony; no much help: I can send mine and pay $25 for a refurbished/used pair. What a waste of time and money. The C/S guy at Sony didn't even care that this was an ongoing problem with this model. I had just ordered 6 more sony headphones but I am going to cancel the order.
Customer Review: Very glad I purchased these!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am so happy that I had these headphones on a recent international trip. I was completely stunned at how well they work. After shoving them in my carry-on and now my laptop bag (back and forth to the office) I can report they are in perfect shape. I think you would have to work hard to break them - if you are relatively kind to your electronics, don't be scared off by other reviews that say they break easily...
With the downturn in the economy - Bose wasn't an option. For a tenth of the price - I am glad I bought these!
Customer Review: GREAT ITEM
Summary: 5 Stars
Great product. Removes most of the jet noise in an airplane even if your sitting right next to the engine. Light on your ears and very comfortable to wear. Great for the price. Long on the battery life too.Customer Review: another poor Sony product
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought the N6 in Nov of 2008. They went on a few airplane rides and now they don't work. They didn't reduce the noise level very much. Its white noise that it produces is way too much background noise. It hardly canceled any noise on an airplane. They are still in warranty but get this. Sony said its a 24$ exchange fee. So you pay shipping to get it there. I paid 30$ to buy them . Forget this unit and pay more and get more. Like something that actually WORKS.
