Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony MDR-NC6 Noise Canceling Headphones
Customer Review: Superb Tech; Great Price
Summary: 5 Stars
After seeing BOSE's Noise Cancelling headset, and reading the tech specs, I was a bit Leary of the quality of these , but they are more than worth it.
If you are familiar with the concept of White Noise, then you should understand what this headset does; the difference is that this headset detects sound values, and conteracts with varying degrees of the white noise. Whilst a white noise machine in the background is often set at a constant value, these headsets have microphones on the outer part of the left and right head-sets to detect external noise values , as well as a circuit operating the internal noise reduction.The noise reduction will vary according to the external sound value, and works very well, not great, but extremely good for the price.
This noise cancelling device will go for 30 hours on standard high value triple a batteries ( one for the headset) but will work longer with Lithium E2 Batteries.
If this helps: these headphones are Noise cancelling, and so whilst they do a great job of reducing standard noise, if the range is above 85-95 db, you will have a diminishing return. Since these headphones can work with no music input at all, if you use stereo ear-buds that go down the ear canal a way ( I have a set of these, but I can't remember the model and make... I checked, they are KOSS, a model called THE PLUG, and buy a small packet with different adapters, believe me, you will need it, but do not buy the adaptors from RADIO SHACK, you will regret it, unless you have no other choice, try COMPUSA if you are in the US, or JB-HIFI if you are in East Coast Australia) and place the Noise Cancelling headphones over the buds, then you will have a better blocker, however, the earbuds that extend down the ear canal should be used carefully, since too high a volume is harmful, but the better response in bass, and full range sounds, are good. Its best to check the NC6 specs for the actual full coverage. If you need something more heavy duty, then go for BOSE, but these are good for the price they have. You will still hear outside sounds of higher db values, but the noise reduction cancels within a certain range. If you have a crowd around you, with constant chatter, you may need something better. However, these items so far have been superb, simply because the actives work well within a certain range ... check the specs, and check the environment you will be using these headphones in, and if you can, check the db value.
Also, thanks to Amazon for making good on USPS's mess up: USPS claimed to deliver to me on May 29th ( A Holiday), at 2:40 am... an outright lie. I have had so many problems with USPS deliveries from Amazon to me, that if you can, always go for UPS. I have had 2 problems with UPS, both Made good by UPS, with apologies, as opposed to a huge range of USPS deliveries that exteneded to a fragile package, which the sender paid much extra for, being shattered by USPS.
