Sony MDR-G94NC Street Style Noise Canceling Headphone

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.
