Sony MDR-NC40 (MDRNC40) Lightweight Noise Canceling Headphones

Love 'em

Very lightweight and terrific sound. Blocks a good deal of the airplane noise which is essential for enduring a long flight. Nice firm yet small packable case included, splitter for plane use, battery etc. Gave away an Able headphone costing more to trade up to this model. Cheaper at Sonix than at Sony outlet. I can't rate in relation to any other models but pleased with purchase.

Good Comforatble but only lasted a year and a half

I bought these for my wife for Xmass 2009. She loved them and used them a lot. They finally gave out after 1.5 years. The stereo output quit. All you could hear while watching a movie was the background noises and not the characters talking.

That being said Sony told me that they were out of warentee but did offer to replace them with referbs.

My wife likes them so much she said she would not want to try another brand or type. So, I will be bying her some new replacements.

She said they are comforatable and do the job just fine. Could have been worse.... Could have spent $300 on another brand.

Probably the best headphones yet.

These headphones do the job and exceed my expectations. Insane bass that you can hear that subwoofers can't produce. My friend would be talking and pointing gestures at me and I would not know what the language is. Probably the best headphones and doesn't even weigh a pound it feels like. 10 out of 10. There is no way a person can get disappointed from this high definition headphones. The only thing you have to worry about is changing the battery when needed. Usually if you constantly use the headphones, it takes about 3 days to drain the battery. Definitely recommend and buy these headphones. Adjustable to any head.
