Customer Ratings & Reviews

I specifically wanted over-ear headphones for airline travel and the choices were staggering, and some of the prices, too. I liked these Sonys right away -- their sound is clear enough, they're comfortable, they fold up and store easily and, they're reasonably priced. So they became a Christmas present from me to me and I did very well thank you -- good, reliable sound for traveling.

The sound is very good and theyre comfortable. Not too sure how noise cancelling they are though. My only issue and down side to these headphones is that they need a AAA battery to get the punchy loud sound you crave. The batteries constantly die when you leave them on. Have had them for 2 years, VERY durable.

Really good sound quality for the cost. Comfortable to wear for a long time.

This is a well priced noise cancelling headphones. Lightweight, comfortable, fits well with great sound. I trust the name brand Sony.

These headphones, certainly, don't come close to the Bose noise cancelling headphones, but for the price they're worth it. I purchased these for a recent flight to Vegas and was pleasantly surprised at how they blocked out not only the jet noise, but also the general din of the cabin. The sound quality was fair to good and served the purpose adequately. I used them, primarily, to watch movies on my IPad. If you're an audiophile geek these headphones would likely disappoint. The one complaint that I have is that the cord is a little on the thin side compared to my similar looking Sony headphones without N/C. I do like the fact that the on/off switch is mounted on the unit rather than inline with the cord and they're comfortable over extended periods. Bling wearing celebrities don't endorse them, but I liked 'em. Good to go.

Great sound quality for the price. The headphones are surprisingly very durable as well

For the cost of these Sony headphones, a very worthwhile purchase. I have tried other noise cancelling headphones and found out for the cost and performance you cannot go wrong with these headphones. Very comfortable, cost effective and compact for travel. The only thing I wish that Sony should have done was to supply a carry bag for storage. Other than this a very good noise cancelling set of headphones.

Good sound at an affordable price. Comfortable fit. Decent chord length. Has power on/off switch which can drain battery quickly if left on after a single daily use. Eliminating battery would be optimal, maybe accessing the power using the USB connection.

I needed wired headphones, so I gave these a try. I wasn't sure they would be comfortable, but I was happy to find that they were very comfortable, not heavy or awkward. The sound is great, and they completely canceled out the noise of machinery near me. For the price, these headphones are a good value.

I've owned these for about nine months--originally to replace a basic set of headphones for my office use (shared space with white noise emitters and people working nearby) to plug-in to my PC. The audio quality is excellent, the build quality is quite solid, folding feature is well-designed, and the noise-cancelling feature does a great job in the office and on airplanes. The noise-cancelling also is good at using batteries (a single AAA) efficiently. My only two reservations are: lack of padding on the headband and the length of the cord--I prefer a few more feet of cord so it's easily plugged-in to my PC on my desk. The cord length is ideal for a music player in one's lap or pocket.

Good sound comfortable not heavy adjustable size good price

These plug-in earphones deliver clear sound and reliable performance. The wired connection ensures zero latency, making them great for calls, music, and videos. Comfortable fit and simple controls add to their appeal. Though less convenient than wireless options, they’re dependable and affordable for everyday use. Solid value for the price.

Very good sound for the money . Canceling feature works well also . Quite comfortable to wear .

Not going to pretend these are studio monitors, but for the money they punch well above their weight. I use them for music production: tracking, rough mixing, checking how things translate. They give me enough clarity to make real decisions. Noise cancellation does its job when I need to focus. Wired means zero latency, zero battery anxiety. If your looking for an honest workhorse pair that won't wreck your budget, these deliver.

Light, active noice cancelling - the box doesn’t spell that out explicitly and with a neat flight adaptor - works - tested it on a recent transcontinental flight - and my god are they inexpensive for being from SONY

I bought these to muffle most of the noise while I work and they do very well. As the box says, they do not cancel people talking in the background, so don't expect that if you decide to buy these for that reason. They are also very comfortable while at the same time, don't feel very heavy either. They also fold up to a compact size which is also a plus. Overall, these are a good set of headphones.

Have taken these on over 10 different flights now and I love them! They are incredible for the price. My old head phones cost 3 times what these did and they did not work half as well. My husband borrowed these on a flight a few months ago and was so impressed that we just bought him a set of his own. They are comfortable for long periods and I can watch movies and listen to music without the jet noise interfering.

Once I put these on, feels like I'm in a club. Really loud and I love it. My third time buying these. They usually last me 2 years and that's a long time considering how much I use them. Love them and will always purchase them over any other more expensive headphones. A steal for the price.

Good noise cancelling, light weight, good price, comfortable

The Sony wired, noise cancelling headphones offer exactly what is described; noise cancelling at a cheaper price point than the higher end Sony models. It does run on an AAA battery, which has so far lasted me 4 weeks, using it for about 6 hours for 3 days a week. The wire is the cheaper Sony rubber one, but should last long if you’re not too rough with it. The cushions are comfortable, which is important as the headphones can become tight and cause discomfort with extended use. The design is plastic, but doesn’t feel cheap like others have stated. Overall, these headphones are a good choice for a quick solution to cancelling surrounding noise, and a no brainer when they go on sale.
