MDRZX110NC Noise Canceling On Ear Headphones, Black, Wired

Pleasantly pleased with the sound quality and comfort of these headphones. They are a good replacement for an old set used for KORG keyboard. Cable inserts securely into keyboard, cord is sufficiently long as to not interfere with instrument use. Noise cancelling is mediocre but that was not an important criteria for me. I needed a comfortable set of wired headphones not a professional grade product. This fit the bill.

I bought these for my husband, who is extremely hard on headphones, hates earbuds, and isn’t great with wireless because he forgets to charge things. We got them at a great price, and they’re still working like new after 4 years. They’re comfortable, the sound quality is excellent, and the wired design is perfect for someone who wants to avoid charging hassles. Highly recommend if you need durable, reliable headphones that actually last.

I'm a classical musician that listens to everything. I own the $15 Koss UR 18 ( comfy and with decent bass for the price) which are good at their price range. I also own $75 Senheisser HD 280. They are bulky with very good passive isolation, and more natural sound. I had the $450 Beats Pro for a while, and they were great for popular music , with control talk, great bass, and superior to all other beats. Now about these pair or Sonys: Sound: they have more bass and treble than the Senheisser 280, but these Sonys sound a bit hollow. For the price range it is Pretty good, I guess. Nothing impressive. I like their boomy bass for some styles of music. Isolation: They reduced the bathroom fan and the bus ramble very noticeably. Voices are softer but at the same time you can hear words more clearly. So keep those differences in mind. (** update: two days later, it's been a few times that people talked to me in the house while listening to angry rock at 40% of volume and I did not hear them at all). Having said that, they're not as good as the Bose QC 25, but they are exactly ten times cheaper. Portability: They fold flat and small in a way that is super compact. No bag included. It uses a AAA battery , easy to use, and it comes with one. Cons: No control to pick up calls. Trebles get harsh after an hour or so, and it hurts a bit, unless you can equalize it well. Sound can be a bit hollow in the middle. Comfort: They are very comfortable even with glasses on. My head is small though. I paid $30 for them, and sometimes I prefer them over the Senhheisser hd 280 to listen to music on the go, specially bass oriented music. The Senheisser are better at blocking higher pitch sounds ( ppl , tv, etc) bc they are big and press against your head, so I kept them for those situations. These Sonys have the *active* noise canceling , which improves their sound. >>>They still work without it, though. So you can listen even without batteries. Sound loses boom and volume, but they work. I'm pretty happy with them for the price. Note: When I tried the $300 Bose Quiet comfort 20 the store went silent. Bass was not impressive. These under $50 Sony pair are probably not as good at isolating ( a 25% less, maybe?) but they are so much cheaper at Best Buy or here, and smaller. The bass is sweet, too. For a cheap option in casual portable listening with isolation, I'd give them a try. If you're an audiophile, or listen to classical exclusively, keep looking. I hope it helps!

These work like a champ. Noise cancelling is honestly distorted bass in any headphone. Today’s fashion is all about the bass. No it distorts sound. Badly. The sound is clearer with noise reduction on. Boost appears to be all around as opposed to bass blasting. Fit is easier. Spent years wearing kettle drums and these do what you need for travel. You should buy the suggested case for these. Storage is easy. I prefer these because they have a normal headphones jack which if I recall is 3.5 mm. I detest wireless as they do fail for 0 reason and for the price these are good. Again the craze for the bass will eventually deafen you. I would give these as a gift. The hidden bonus feature is they do not dry out and blast everyone around you with your annoying music and stream tik toks. And. I really dislike blue tooth. These do not have it and I did not want it. Thank God.

I bought these headphones because I was looking for a pair of noise cancelling headphones that wouldn't break the bank. These headphones were some of the top rated and the price was reasonable. I didn't want to spend $50 for a pair of headphones. I wanted noise cancelling headphones because my husband is an awful snorer! It is ridiculous how much and how loud he snores! I read the various reviews of what people said these worked at cancelling out sound. I figured I'd give it a try. I was worried about how big they would be when sleeping. I sleep on my stomach so my head is on its side. Little earbuds usually hurt when I lay down to sleep. These headphones came and I tried them out while my husband was playing video games. I could still hear the sound of him talking and the game. Next step was to try them in bed. I turned them on and I could still hear my husband snoring. They did muffle the sound, but I could still hear it lightly in the background of the classical music I listen to to sleep. Even though I could still hear him snoring, turning on the electronic noise cancelling feature did help more than without it. They are very comfortable to sleep in and I'm happy that I bought these instead of earbuds. The battery for the electronic noise cancelling feature doesn't last too long, especially when it is on all night. Overall they are good headphones and have excellent sound quality but they don't cancel out the snoring husband in the bed next to you.

These headphones are awesome! Originally, I was looking for Bose-like headphones. I bought BOHM ones (off of Amazon) to try, and ended up returning them because there was no visible noise-cancellation (and they were close to $100). These have better noise cancellation - they definitely do not silence people around you, but they do make things quieter, even without music playing. With music playing, you can pretty much zone out, which is pretty much perfect. I've also tried a more expensive pair of Sony Headphones (they were close to $200) - I would say that the noise-cancelling feature is pretty much the same... at least, I didn't notice much of a difference between the two quality-wise. The more expensive Sonys were better quality in terms of material, look, and the speakers encapsulate your ears more effectively. But for the price, I would overwhelmingly choose these ones! As an example, I'm currently writing this review in my apartment with the dish washer and dryer running... they're pretty loud. When I flip the noise-cancel switch (I don't have any music playing), the humming is gone, but I can still hear the swishing of the water in the dishwasher. These headphones are perfect for when you're on the 'quiet' floor of the library, and that one person starts eating a bag of carrots... ugh that's the worst! I also like how they fold up, I'm in college, so I just smoosh them into my backpack. They're much more comfortable than earbuds for studying, they don't hurt your ears. Side note: I definitely prefer these to bluetooth headphones - you don't need to charge them, all you need is a single battery. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase. These are inexpensive, functional, and have great sound quality!

I'd purchased a cheap MDR sony headset in the past, the muffs weren't very soft but other than that they were fine, especially for the $20-25 price point. THESE on the other hand? They look nice, and that's about the only nice thing I can say. The muffs are snug but comfortable with good padding, but they sound as bad, maybe worse, than the complimentary garbage earbuds they give you on flights. For a $70 price point, completely unacceptable. The muff joints have no swivel, so if the fit is uncomfortable to you, nothing you can do about it. Most notably, the battery casing is supposed to open by pressing a button, well I pressed and pressed, gritting my teeth I pushed so hard, and that button DOES NOT WORK. Never got it to open the battery compartment. I will be returning these and buying from other companies moving forward.

Lite-weight and comfortable ! The sound is Great as advertised. The adjustment is Very easy to use, and the battery is installed / replaced by simply popping the black cover off the side where the on / off switch is. I bought this one specifically because the 'noise cancelling' is powered by a AA battery. No fuss, No muss!! Overall very pleased with the purchase.
