Best Noise Cancelling Earphones I have used these for over a year for air travel, and the sound quality and cancellation efficiency are amazing. I travel on long flights so always carry 6 rechargeable batteries in the case. The body is too big but this is a first generation product, so hope that they keep the integration of the circuitry into a smaller ASIC so that it will use less power and become a lighter unit (weight and price). Ear units are extremely comfortable and the overall design is quite elegant and simple. Their sound cancellation and sound is much better than the pervasive Bose jumbos on board most flights.

These headphones are the best ones out there. Overall these headphones are the best ones out there. February 9, 2011
Eats Batteries The sound quality and noise suppresion on these earbuds is excellent. But beware battery life, which is 4-5 hours max under real conditions. You can not make a round trip airplane ride without the battery failing. I would not have bought them if this were evident. November 6, 2010
needs some tweaks I have a pair of Bose QC15 but they were taking up too much space. These headphones have a nice form factor but the cord is a mess. I Tried to wrap the long cord with the little plastic cable management device they provide but then it is a real mess to put in the carry case. It'd be much better if they did the same thing as other sony earbuds where you have a short cord by default but are also provided an extension cord. the carrying case should also have a slot for an extra battery given how short the battery life is.

1. Total noise suppression ratio is approx. 20 dB (when the noise canceling function is on) and approx. 7 dB (when the noise canceling function is off). The total noise suppression ratio is the difference in noise energy when the Noise Canceling function is active and when not wearing the headphones. For further details about the total noise suppression ratio amount for each mode, refer to the Product Information booklet.
