Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony MDR-NC6 Noise Canceling Headphones
Customer Review: Better than expected
Summary: 4 Stars
These are by no means the best headphones in the world. And now, after about a year of ownership, i think the wires may be coming apart.
However, that's really the only bad things about these headphones. They have quite good sound quality. The noise canceling feature works well, if not perfect, but is a godsend on airline flights. I queue an album or two on my mp3 player, put these on, and sleep like a rock. I really can't imagine flights without these. They're well priced, and are pretty comfortable. When I bought them, I thought I'd only use them on plane trips. But they've become my default headphones for my computer and movies.
Not perfect, but definitely worth the purchase.
Customer Review: Swivel ear cup broke shortly after I purchased them
Summary: 1 Stars
I barely remember how well these worked. Within a week or so the swivel on one of the ear cups, the metal broke. No way of possibly repairing them. In my opinion poor design. I ended up buying the Audio-Technica highly recommended on this site - they are worth the price and I don't think they'll break.Customer Review: sound okay, break easily
Summary: 2 Stars
Sound is OK, certainly good enough for a plane or bus ride. They get uncomfortable on me after a while. Problem I and other have is that they break easily. In my case, the speakers work, but the noise-cancelling function is disengaged unless I twist the right phone so that it is at a 90-degree angle to my ear. Not really easy to use like that! The wiring connection inside this right channel must be bad, as the reviews here and elsewhere cite many problems with the right speaker. I used to think of Sony as a quality company, but my experiences with their stuff over the lat 10 years has caused me to rate them just above Radio Shack, and that's not saying much.Customer Review: Cheaply made and breaks easily.
Summary: 2 Stars
Works well to cancel noise. Probably the best on the market for the price. I bought a refurbished headphone with no problems. The plug, wire are under designed and will not take a lot of abuse. The head bar is plastic, and feels like it could break. I broke my pair at where the plug goes into the Mp3 player. Knowing now that it is a very breakable product, I would not take it to the gym, or work outdoors in the yard with it.
I switched to a cheaper, but stronger headphone to wear to the gym, and to do my gardening work. Even if I break a cheaper headphone, I am not out of much of a dollar loss.
Customer Review: Started Out Good Then Failed
Summary: 3 Stars
I was very excited to have this product when it arrived. I travel a lot and needed a good noise cancelling headset for all the airplanes. It started off really good, and then the right ear speaker only worked on regular sound (not noise cancelling mode). Now both earpieces only work when it's not in the noise cancelling mode, not good. I would have had them replaced but it was after the warranty, go figure.
