I just got them three days back and I have to admit I like these a lot. First, from a design perspective they are just COOL. When all the other noise cancelling headphones (at least the good ones) are big and bulky, this one is easy to handle and use (behind the neck design) and it folds away for storage. The sound quality is good but cannot be compared to my Sennheiser HD-500 headphones. The noise cancelling function needs a AAA battery and does a good job (not exceptional). I tried them while mowing my lawn outside and they worked pretty damn good. All-in-all I am gonna be using these all the time when I am not at home since they are not as bulky to carry around as my Sennheisers. Recommended.

These headphones delivered exactly what I expected from a $41 set, good sound but lacking in the noise-cancellation department. The fabric cord with an extension piece is nice and the design makes it fun to wear. The switch for noise cancelling on/off is well located as it doesn't take up room on a seperate piece or on the cord and the foldable design makes the headphones relatively easy to transport with big pockets. Basicly, everything one can expect from Sony for $41. (Since flying with them I would change this to a 3 review... they just didn't deliver much with the noise cancelling.

these headphones are alright but id suggest that you save your money and buy something a little better. it uses active noise cancellation, which distorts the sound when theres loud noise and sounds awful if theres a lot of movement (noise cancellation is completely useless on anything less than a smooth road). noise cancellation only works for low frequencies, high pitched sounds are very audible while wearing these, but the noise cancellation does help. its also a little uncomfortable to wear after long periods of time because there is no cushioning for your ears and they are quite heavy.

I wouldn't say I'm 100% satisfied with the product. But Here are some Pros & Cons, I hope you find it helpful.

Pros.
Long and flexible cable (10/10)
Stylish (9/10)
Portable (7/10)
Noise Canceling (8/10)

Cons.
Low Volume (4/10)
Battery Life (5/10)
Durability of the headphones (3/10)
Bass response (Suxx)

I am thinking really hard to return the item but I will give it a trial for couple of days before I make up my mind.

I took these new headphones on a cross country trip this week. Here's the results:
1) There is no noise cancelling to speak of (aircraft engine noise was exactly the same with or without the headphones on).
2) Volume level was so low I had to stop watching the DVD because I couldn't hear the sound loudly enough.
3) When I was on the ground I switched to my MP-3 player and again the volume was very low (I took off the extension cord connector which helped slightly) and worse yet the sound quality was tinny, almost no base at all.

There is nothing to recommend purchasing these headphones. I am frantically looking for my receipt so I can try to return them as quickly as possible.

I've had my headphones for a couple of month now and am very satisfied with the sound and quality. The noise canceling is a little weaker then other Sony models I've tried. They are very lightweight and have excellent sound quality. I would recommend them. They are a great value for the price

I only bought these because my cat chewed on my sony fontopia headphones and I was low on cash, and these were on sale for $25. I figured they hold me over for a week or two. A minute into the first song I regretted buying them. First of all, they're ugly as all hell. The only reason i got them is because they said they were noise cancelling and the original price was $70. The noise cancelling consists of a distracting static frequency, and there is no bass whatsoever. These are honestly terrible headphones. I should have gotten $15 sony earbuds, i would have been much happier.

These phones are quite good.
You just have to know a few things:
The sound weakens and the cancelation is not for extreme uses.
But if you use them in riding on a bus like situations, they will be great.
Especially if you use them with an iPod. That's a good combination, because the sound is comfortable (excellent bass performance, not annoying; good meds, good highs, but a very clear all around) and the cancelation doesn't make you dumb as it is with other phones.

Give them a try and you'll be more than pleased. They are for listening music from a powerful source, and that's how they pay fair.

They hurt the top of your ears after an hour... sound quality is not anything special...

These headphones do not stay on your ears. Maybe if they were like the other wrap arounds.
A good idea but more of a hinderance of keeping them on the ears.
