    Compared these to the Bose QC3

    By PJ Farmer  Feb 6, 2008

    Pros: Price, comfortability, monitor switch, AA battery

    Cons: Sound

    When I first got them, I thought they sounded static-y. But then when I made the mistake of comparing them with the QC-3, wow! What a difference. The Sony has a bit of a hum that some users say is also present in the QC2 (I had 3 other colleagues do the compare too. 2 of 3 could hear the hum).
    But the bose is so much clearer, fuller, and has much better highs and midranges. The base in the sony is pretty sweet though.

    Here is more food for thought -- I took them both to the gym, and the QC3 does not work with the cardio theater audio boxes attached to the machines unless I use the airplace adapter (which then quiets the sound to annoying levels). Odd.

    You might be happy with the Sonys, if you aren't an audophile and if you don't do a side-by-side with the QC-3.

    Well worth the Investment

    By Christopher  Sep 25, 2007 | 1 out of 1 found this Sony MDR-NC60 Noise Cancelling review helpful

    Pros: Excellent Sound Cancellation, Easy to Use, Monitoring Button

    Cons: Sound Quality

    I picked these headphones up about two week ago and have been on 6 flights since I've had them. I have had every pair of noise cancelling headphones on the market, including the Bose QuietComfort's. I will say that Bose does beat them in the sound department, but when it comes to making flights a quiet ride, these are far superior. I also like the fact that unlike the bose, they work even without the batteries. Also, they have a button that allows you to cut the noise cancellation as well as the music so that you can hear someone talking to you. I don't know how the stand up in the manufacturing world, but if you read the packaging, they are marketed for business travelers, and as one, I have to say they are the best.

    Not much noise cancelling

    By Cole  Jul 20, 2007 | 0 out of 1 found this Sony MDR-NC60 Noise Cancelling review helpful

    Pros: Fits nice

    Cons: Not much better then a regular headset

    I haven't tried these on an airplane but on a manufacturing floor with fan noise all over the place, these don't work much better then a regular headset so why bother spending all the extra money?

    Another Sony failure.

    By crunchyw  Jul 3, 2007 | 0 out of 3 found this Sony MDR-NC60 Noise Cancelling review helpful

    Pros: The Monitor switch

    Cons: Average sound quality, microphones cause feedback at the slightest jolt or footstep.

    I've had these for about 2 days now. These are the worst headphones I've ever owned. I use headphones every day, and I've tried many different brands and types. I've never been as disappointed with a set as I am with these.
    The sound quality is very average. Hollow and uninspiring in any way.
    The microphones clip at the slightest bump. Standard footfalls cause deep vibrating thumps that carry over from one to the next. I am taking these back and changing brands as soon as I can.
