Very poor design and mediocre sound cancellation
For $400.00 you would expect something really great but I was very disappointed.

First the Carrying case it comes with far too large. More >>

NC500D vs Bose QC3
I have used the QC3 since the product was released. But reviews of the Sony digital headset compelled me to try them. More >>

Low frequency pumping! Hurts!!
The headphone has 3 modes of operation for different noise environments: Office, Bus & Airplane.

The noise cancelling is great when working, mainly for Office mode; for Bus & Airplane modes, the headphone easily gets into very low frequency (~3Hz) pumping (oscillation) depending on how it's worn, and the pumping is very strong and it hurts! More >>

Replacement Parts
I contacted Sony to order a replacement power charger - I also had hoped to find a charger that was more travel friendly with prongs that folded down. More >>
