Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony MDR-NC6 Noise Canceling Headphones
Customer Review: Good sound quality
Summary: 3 Stars
Pro's:
1. They sound really good!! Better than my Koss headphones did.
Cons:
1. They are a bit too heavy.
2. They begin to hurt my ears after I've worn them awhile with my glasses on & I have to wear my glasses in order to see well.
3. They feel too tight on my ears no matter how I adjust the headband.
I didn't buy these for the noise cancelling as I really don't need that. All I wanted was a set of headphones that sounded good. The Radio Shack salesman (they cost $49.95 plus local 8.25% tax) tried to sell me a 4 pack of triple A batteries as well as a service plan but I stood my ground & walked out with just the headphones. I'm glad I did because these headphones are uncomfortable after awhile. I didn't know that when I bought them.
The plus side is the nice sound quality. The highs are great, the midrange is very good & the bass is not overpowering although I wish it was a bit stronger. Even though I prefer to play them at a low to moderate sound level they can be cranked up to full volume with my portable CD player or even louder with my computer without going into distortion the way my Koss headphones did when played on the computer.
I guess I'll either try to find some foam padding so these headphones stay comfortable on my ears with long use or spend the money for a set that sounds as good (or better) that these plus has good foam padding. It's the way these should have been made in the first place. Not with thin material over the cans!!
Customer Review: Best bar none
Summary: 5 Stars
I have over 20 headphones of all brand and prices and these have allowed me to hear new sounds on songs I have never heard. I was not sure I had the right music playing at first. This is as close to heaven I'll ever get or need to.
If there is a better sound out there at any price God it and would want to keep them.
I can adjust them for comfort, I have 2 thumbs.
Miata.
Customer Review: good, but could be better
Summary: 4 Stars
A headset canceling only low-frequency noise is like sunglasses that cut glare only in the red. Better than nothing, but leaves you wanting more. Otherwise quite good. Sound quality is great, and construction is fully adequate for normal use - unlike others I've seen reviewed, these appear unlikely to break in the near future. I use them on public transport with moderate success. One feature I haven't seen noted is a boost in the volume when the noise canceling is turned on. At first I thought this was just a way of cheating (increasing signal to noise by increasing signal), but I've found it helpful - quicker than going to the MP3-player volume control. A suggestion for Sony: a noise-canceling headset that also keeps your ears warm in cold weather, for waiting at the bus stop.Customer Review: Sony Noise-Canceling Headset

The headsets were received in just a few days, and they work great. I have to be careful when I put them on, because I can't hear anyone in the house trying to talk to me.Customer Review: Headphone noise
Summary: 2 Stars
Bought these headphones about 3 weeks ago and have found that I can only wear them for about 15-20 minutes max. The NR feature has a high pitch tone that drives me nuts when there is no music playing. When music is playing I can tolerate it for a little while. I have found that using the headphones with the NR feature off is a little more comfortable for me but the headphones do tend to push hard against your head getting very uncomfortable for long play listening. They do produce a nice sound if you can overlook these two things.
