Sony MDRZX110NC Noise Canceling On Ear Headphones, Black

This is a Boomer review since younger people know much more about headphones than I do, and everyone has them. But for those who only use headphones on the plane, especially for the noise canceling feature, this is for you. I specifically looked for plug-in headphones because they are more comfortable than earbuds, and more reliable than bluetooth. No, these are not Bose headphones, but hilariously, they rank second to Bose on many reviewers' lists!I bought these to replace my 15 year old Audio Technica headphones that still work but are falling apart. I took both pairs with me on a recent trip and did a comparison. I could not tell a difference between them, even though the Audio Technica ones covered my ears better. When not watching movies I wore them just for the noise-cancelling feature, which worked just fine. I am a relatively small woman so larger people might have a different experience with ear coverage. These earphones fold up and become quite compact so they don't take up much room in your carry-on bag. They fit neatly into small, semi-circular cases that are readily available on Amazon, and which I highly recommend. The nearly identical version of these headphones at about half the price does not have the noise canceling feature. Make sure you get the ones with a product number that ends in NC.

Great quality and durable!!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:You chose the headphones because in the audio field, Sony is the best company in the world, and it's also a very reasonable price for a simple model. Design:I chose the wired connection. I don't have to charge all the time. It takes quite a bit of time to mess with the charging.

Got these for my 7 year old daughter, that way I don't have to listen to her music and mine doesn't disturb her either. She loves them, the noise cancellation works like a charm, they fit her great and they don't have the child noise level limit. She uses it with her Fire Tablet on longer car and plane trips.

Only seems to cancel noise when you turn the volume up

Got these for my teen as a Christmas gift & she loves them! Great fit, very durable, easy to connect, and the sound quality is amazing! Highly recommend!

I bought this set to replace my SONY MBR-XB550s which are worn out and almost unwearable after years of devoted use. I don't know what I was thinking. Sorry to report, the noise cancelation didn't function and the sound quality was way below what I expected. I have cheap JBL's headphone that sound better than this set. I returned this set and bought the MDR-XB450s instead.

I was shopping for something to use while doing some online courses at work and came across a really funny review by Matt and was sold on these. I'm not a musician, I don't make videos or anything exciting. I listen to audiobooks, music, and wanted to do some online classes while at work. Additionally, some of the office conversation can get a little loud around here and it can be hard to concentrate. I do boring work on the computer, editing and reviewing stuff most of the day, so it's easy to get distracted. These things work great. I think you do need to have a battery in and have the noise cancellation turned on to get good sound, but the sound is great for me. While it's not 100% silence, I think it's close enough when I have music playing, I do not hear the people that sit all around me in the cubicle farm. If anything, I kinda wish I could turn down the sound a little more, but on my phone on the lowest sound setting, it is still pretty loud. On the pc, I have the volume on 4 and it's plenty loud to listen to music while I work. As far as comfort, the part on my ears is fine, but I'm not sure around the band going over the top of my head - to make them stay snug, I have it pushed down, but may have to push it up more - kinda wish there was just a little cushion right in the middle on top, but it's okay. I don't like earbuds and stuff that goes into my ear, they annoy me after a while, so I can deal with this.
