Amazon.com Product Description
If you are looking for a pair of headphones to use in loud areas, these headphones will fit the bill. The MDR-NC5s are a nice companion for the airplane, the bus ride or a loud dorm building. The noise canceling system reduces outside noise by seventy percent (10dB), allowing you to hear the music accurately. The headphones are lightweight and comfortable, delivering quality sound. Sony has installed several technical features to the headphones to ensure a quality listening experience. The thirty millimeter drive units deliver deep bass, low distortion and a wide frequency response range (20 - 20,000 Hz). Neodymium magnets give the headphones maximum energy at a minimal size and weight. These magnets also produce ample sound output with 100 dB sensitivity (NC on.) The headphones fold up for compact storage. The pivoting earpads are both comfortable and storable. To turn on the noise canceling system, simply flip the on/off switch. A red power LED light illuminates when powered-on. The headphones run on one AAA battery, which will run for up to forty-six hours (alkaline).

Summary: Compact and good! 2008-03-25
Comment: These are the first pair of noise cancelling headphones I've ever bought/used, so I have nothing to compare them to except my previous regular headphones.
First of all, I love the fact that it folds away into a nice compact size, which fits into the nice leather-looking pouch provided with it. They are powered by a single AAA battery.
The headphones rest on the ears (not over), and are rather comfortable. I bought mine just a day before a 10 hour flight, so I really got to test them. I fell asleep with them on with no discomfort or damage to the headphones. It also comes with a 2 pin adaptor for use on some aircraft in-flight entertainment (such as the 767 flight I took).
Sound quality to me is great, it brings out the bass, and the sound is crisp and clear, when noise cancelling is on, mind you. With it off, the volume is rather low. As for the noise cancelling itself, I would say it cuts off about 75% of the rumble of the jet engine, as well as most or all conversations going on around you (depending on the volume of the conversation). I was glad that most of the sound from a shrieking baby sitting in the row in front of me was mercifully cut off allowing me to listen to my music in bliss...

Summary: More Durable and Great Sound Quality 2005-11-21
Comment: From all the negative reviews I have read about the material-durability of Bose Quiet Comfort 2, I am glad I purchased the MDR-NC5. Who wants headphones that are going to disintegrate on you? The MDR-NC5 headphones deliver excellent sound when plugged into the iPod. I have had mine for 3 years with no complaints, especially when it comes to sound materials. And they fold away for your convenience. For the money, these last longer and won't disappoint.

Summary: Good Headphones for travel 2005-09-27
Comment: These headphones work very well. This is our second pair to purchase. They fold away for easier storage. The quality is very
good. My two kids use them on our flights. They do cancel out much more noise than some other brands we have tried.

Summary: Great Noise Canceling in a Noisy Office 2005-05-04
Comment: These headphones are a lifesaver for life in a noisy office. All the constant chatter was driving me nuts till I got these inexpensive Sony headphones. The noise canceling function works great, sometimes I don't play music and just keep on the noise-canceling feature on just to smother out the office yammering. The noise canceling does function best when you have on music AND noise canceling on.
As some of the other reviewers have complained the headphones do really press hard on your ears, like a vice grip, but they do get more loose in a couple of weeks.
I thought the sound quality was adequate, you cannot compare these $23.00 headphones with the Bose noise canceling headphones that sell for hundreds of dollars. You get what you pay for and these are great headphones for the price.
