Legacy of Sony sound.

Experience premium headphones that embody Sony's heritage and reputation for outstanding audio performance. Unlike typical noise cancelling models, you'll enjoy a digital noise cancelling process that utilizes Artificial Intelligence technology to actively target and dampen environmental noises. And since it's not just about silencing outside intrusions, a sophisticated digital equalizer revitalizes the audio signal prior to reproduction for your listening pleasure.
Intelligent listening.

Simply press the Artificial Intelligence (AI) button and your noise cancelling headphones intelligently analyze the sounds around you and automatically select the perfect noise cancelling mode (plane, train/bus or office). Block out up to 98.2 percent of outside distractions and hear only what you want — whether it's a favorite song or something closer to complete silence. In quieter surroundings? Turning off the noise cancelling feature and switching to Passive Listening mode won't interrupt what you're listening to and saves your battery for later.
Happy travels.

Use the unique dual-fold system to dramatically reduce the length of the headphones and leave more room for your other travel necessities. Included travel kit comes with essentials to help keep the music going on your next adventure — a premium case for protection, a AAA battery that lasts for up to 22 hours of listening time, and even an airplane adaptor to use during your next flight.

Digital Noise canceling technology

Digital technology provides for optimal noise cancelation with outstanding audio performance. Read below to learn more about the digital difference when it comes to noise canceling headphones.

Intelligent Auto-Selection

Not all ambient noise is the same. When you press the Artificial Intelligence (AI) button the headphones will automatically select the optimal noise canceling mode (for aircraft, train or office) based on intelligent analysis of environmental ambient noise.

40mm Driver Units

40mm drivers deliver wider frequency response and superb sound quality.

Accessories

Travel case, in-flight plug adapter and AAA battery included.

Precise Noise Canceling

A key distinction with digital noise canceling is precision. The NC200D reduces up to 98.2% ambient noise when the noise canceling circuit is activated.

Compact Size

A new and unique folding system reduces the size of the headphones by nearly 40% when not in use, making them easier to travel with.

Battery

A single AAA battery provides up to 22 hours of listening time.¹

High-quality sound

Full, authentic sound is reproduced via full digital amplification in concert with a high performance digital equalizer that delivers ideal frequency response. Powerful 40MM driver units are ready to handle your loud powerful music or vocals.

Passive Listening

Allows audio listening even when the power is turned off. Listening in an already quiet environment? Save the battery for later. Or should your battery run out mid-flight and you not have a spare, you’ll still be able to listen without the noise canceling activated.

Lasting comfort

The lightweight, super soft on-ear design allows for comfortable wearing over long periods of time. Ergonomically shaped flexible earpads and the adjustable headband also allow for a proper fit, making them a great companion on long flights.

Comfortable and Reliable Very comfortable. Stylish. Itravel on overseas quite often, in rough environments, and these hold up. The case it comes in is very protective and shiq.They do feel like they cost more than they did. Sony delivers again. These are far more comfortable than former Bose I have experience with. However, i am slightly dissapointed there is no volume adjuster on the cord. It isnt a huge thing, and that is one more thing that could go wrong with a headset, but it sometimes would be nice to have. Atleast as an addon. They do give you a handy airplane jack, so you will be able to use it when flying on vacation. March 12, 2013

Great Headphones! Great pair of headphones. Reminds me of the Beats Solo by Monster. However, if the battery is not in and the NC is not in the bass is decreased noticeably. My box also did not come with a battery which was a bit odd. These are worth the price right now ($89). Go ahead and buy them they are great! December 31, 2012

Great Headphones This Headphones are the best. When I bought them I needed something to reduce noise when I was travelling every morning in a Van from one City to the other to be able to get some rest. and they worked great. they reduced almost all the noise same as advertised. I don't think the Bose or Beats are better than them this are the best. when I want to listen to music the sound is so perfect I recommend them for anybody May 26, 2012

AWESOME I recommend these headphones to everybody. They are a great product if your not worried about what other people think about what your listening too. January 24, 2012
