O.K headphones
I bought these as my Sennheiser HD 202's had recently broken and I thought I'd go for some Sony headphones for a change. I saw that the frequency response on these was fairly good and they do sound pretty good too!

However, I do find that the picture shown is slightly misleading, my impression from seeing it was that the headphones looked strong, sturdy and bulky enough that it wouldn't fall off your head; although on arrival, the headphones weren't as I'd expected them to be. They look like the headphones you'd buy on a plane except they have the switch on the back to kick in the noise reduction feature (probably because they're travel headphones). I was expecting them to look slightly more sophisticated, I think next time I'll go back to Sennheisers or possibly a different type of Sony headphones.

Great if you're the type of person which travels a lot, but don't buy these if you're looking to buy headphones for their sound quality and not their features.

Do They Actually Work?
Yes. As passive headphones, they work as well as any stereo headphones would be expected to. When the noise cancellation is turned on, there is a noticeable level of background hiss. (In theory, white noise tends to make interference less annoying subjectively.) In the home, any external noises are reduced significantly. These include a washing machine spinning, a dishwasher or even the fan in a lap-top. Obviously, noise reduction cannot perform miracles (e.g. noise in a tube train) but, for the price, they have a place in the market compared to those costing ten times as much.

Pretty good for the price
These headphones do not a bad job of their title ( noise cancelling ) I work in a very noisy environment with lots of machinery and these headphones really make a difference to sound quality. The only negative problem i would give them is that they are not too comfortable a fit, but maybe thats just the shape of my napper :o) Overall i would recommend them...

Good value for money
These were the first noise cancelling headphones I've used. For the price I feel they do a decent job of reducing the background noise on planes, and generally I can't believe that much more expensive models could do a vastly superior job. Why spend £200 more? Can't see the point myself. Give these a go and see for yourself.
