Outstanding headphones, period

I purchased the Sony MDR-NC6 headphones as a second set for a portable DVD player, which I planned to operate in the car or during air travel.

Although I had never used noise-cancelling headphones before, I was quite familiar with the noise problem associated with trying to listen to audio sound in those environments.

After having used these headphones for more than two months, I am still amazed at the overall audio quality they provide. They are my favorite headphones, period, even without the noise-cacellation feature enabled. I even use them with my home audio system, TV, game console -- you name it.

Not only are these headphones versatile, they are comfortable to wear, fold up flat inside of a quality pouch, and fit easily into a backback -- or briefcase.

I ultimately decided on these headphones because of the Sony brand, the low price in relation to retail, and the other great reviews they received in comparison with others in their class.

Be sure to check out the other new & used purchase options for these headphones on Amazon. I only paid $25 for mine because they didn't have the instruction manual (which I downloaded as a PDF from the Sony website) or original packaging. I can confidently say, however, that the Sony MDR-NC6 headphones are definitely worth the Amazon selling price of around $40.

They're being returned.

If you don't mind an irritating hiss and static when the noise-cancelling feature is turned on, then they would be fine. For me, it was unacceptable.

Good Value

Sound quality is very good- almost as good as my MDR V6 (studio monitor) phones. I was pleasantly surprised. The noise cancellation does a good job at the low end, as it is designed to do- it does not cancel out everything - just low end. It completely removed the sound of my treadmill's motor, as well as the sound the house ventillation system makes. Very satisfactory for my purpose. Could be more comfortable, and the pads could be a little more substantial. I expect to have to replace the pads frequently, but I haven't had them long enough to say for sure. Bottom line - I would buy them again, but I got a good price on them ($39.99). Would I pay list? Maybe...
