Sony MDR NC6

Pros: Incredibly comfortable, noise cancellation comes cheap, the AAA battery seems to last for eternity.

Cons: Slight sound leakage, and the cord could stand to be longer (in my opinion.)

Review: I picked up a pair of these at Office Depot for $40 recently after a friend recommended them. The noise cancellation effect really gave my previous headphones (some old earplug types) a kick in the butt. I generally use these late at night on my...

Pros: -stylish design -good sound -noise cancellation works well

Cons: -noise leakage

The Bottom Line: Good headphones for the price.

Review: I was looking for a set of headphones for airplane travel and general use. Therefore noise cancellation was a priority. I checked out the review and what the stores around me had to offer and came up with these.

I can say that I am...

Pros: They reduce airplane cabin noise and sound good as well.

Cons: None of any significance

The Bottom Line: Before you run out and spend $300 on a really expensive headphone, try these.

Review: I try not to stare, but whenever I board an airplane I have to inventory the electronics in the First Class cabin.

On one trip I spied an Apple MacBook Air and two iPhones in the First Class cabin. The balance of these passenger were using...

Pros: cancels normal noise; comfortable to wear

Cons: a little pricey

The Bottom Line: Buy them---they work well!

Review: These headphones work very well! My daughter wears them in the car when viewing her TV or listening to the car stereo's backseat passenger system. When she has these headphones on, she does not complain about my husband and I talking too loud or...

Pros: Inexpensive, long lasting battery life, good at all noise canceling

Cons: No major concerns have arisen in my usage.

The Bottom Line: I would definitely recommend this product to a friend. They are inexpensive and amazing for their price!

Review: When I'm not playing baseball or working in the office, I enjoy to travel. I love my hometown of Chicago, but getting away is always a fun time. When traveling, usually airplane is the preferred choice when the trip is on the West Coast. To help...

Pros: Do cancel noise, look great, low cost

Cons: No cons that ive found yet so none

Review: Awesome head phones drastically reduces noise. Easy on your ears too. Would highly recommend they are awesome look great and the cost is low compared to others.

Pros: it's light, has a long cord, adjustable, and comfortable.

Cons: uses batteries, not compact.

Review:

the headphones are great, they don't make the music distorted at a high volume, and the noise cancellation is mediocre. Sony suggests the noise thing is its best feature, but it really isn't. It doesn't work with regular talking and normal noise,...

Pros: Fair audio quality, low price.

Cons: Noise cancellation limited to specific low frequencies, susceptible to wind noise.

The Bottom Line: Ok for a cheap entry level NC headset. I would recommend a set with over the ear cups to cut wind noise, and a more comfortable head band.

Review: I won't go into long detail here, since there are many reviews of this product already.

I just bought mine on sale at Costco for Cdn $49.

My first impression was that these headphones were simply amplifiers, and poor ones at that. They...

Pros: Decent sound, compact design, only requires one battery

Cons: Painful after a while, noise canceling unit picks up wind, weird pops.

The Bottom Line: I can't with good conscience recommend headphones that hurt after normal use. For $50 headphones should be comfortable.

Review: I bought these after breaking my Sennheiser PXC-150s and returning a pair of Creative HN-505s, hoping that they would fill the gap left by my Senns for a lower price (Circuit City had them for $40).

I was initially pleased with the sound,...

Pros: well-built, good materials, includes a draw-string carrying bag, 3.5mm plug works with Ipods.

Cons: Poor noise cancellation, adds a hiss to quieter sounds when N/C is engaged.

Review: If you are looking for significant noise cancellation, these aren't for you. If listening to music, when you turn on the N/C, you get louder music with an added hiss that wasn't there before. For the cost, they are a well constructed, just not the...
