Love the new headphones I love the way that they fold up for storage. It's almost like they create a "wall of sound". They really do block out the noise, especially when you're listening to music on your computer. Better than your model MDR-V150. They even work with rechargeable AAA batteries. Excellent design. I would absolutely recommend to a friend. December 6, 2008
These Headphones Have a Lot of Problems!!!! As u can tell from the title of this review, these headphones have a lot of problems!!!! First of all, there's no rubber band on either this pair of headphones or the new MDR-NC8 that replace this pair of now discontinued MDR-NC7 headphones. There's no padding at the top of the headband like on the MDR-NC200D headphones!!!! Then secondly, there's no volume control/ in-line remote on any of those three headphones, except for the DR-NC201IP!!!! Third, these headphones are really fragile & break way too easily!!!! Fourth, they're not that stylish except for the new MDR-NC8 headphones that do look stylish, & there aren't many color options available besides black & with on both models!!!! Despite the fact that/ even though both of these headphones have problems that Sony will hopefully improve on, for the great price & good sound, I would recommend u to definitely NOT buy these headphones & just go straight for Beats Solo HD Metallic Blue Headphones because of their supreme sound quality & their stylishness. I just recommend the Metallic Blue because that's my favorite color besides orange & green, but they also look really in Metallic Blue. I mean, if u wanna get a different color, that's up to u, but I'd recommend u sticking to Metallic Blue. October 28, 2012
Horrible The overall design of the headphones were awful. The sound quality was also horrible and had no bass what so ever. I returned them the day i bought them. July 29, 2012
Weak I bought 3 pairs of these, and in every one the cord broke right next to the plug. horrible design, dont buy these! June 29, 2012
