WOW! I've had mine for about five years and they work great. If you don't travel much, I'd say buy them as they're good. They are comfortable and have worn them on coast to coast flights. Sound is good on an iPad or airplane infotainment system. Only feature I wish is a way to coil the cable. I purchased mine at a Best Buy kiosk at LAX and were on sale for $39.99.
Thank you so much for your review. Exactly what I wanted to know. I have BT buds, great comfort, excellent NC and a great sound for my taste. But they are useless for watching movies on plane IFE. No buds can connect to plane's IFE. I have an old AKG K840KL very comfy but NC is old tech and same as you described these Sony cans. At least AKG is wireless as transmitter is separate. So I decided to get cheapest wired cans with decent NC. Saw these in my local shop and the picture on the box with amazing NC (95% ?!). Almost bought them but they did not have this model on display but only the one without NC. Wonder why. I asked the seller to open the box so I can try them on, he refused under lame excuse if he open the box he has to sell them. Buyer in Australia is covered by the rule if you dont think the product is performing as advertised you can return it and get to choose the refund or different product. So I went home jumped on RUclips and found this review. It is if you knew I will be looking for some questions and gave me all the answers I was looking for. Bit surprised with this as Sony is generally among the top leaders in NC tech. I understand you need the top model to get the best results, but then their mid range or low budget should not be the same as some cheap knockoffs. I also have House Marley Exodus BT cans and their AUX cable works with NC. Most BT cans dont get NC to work for the AUX signal. But these are bulky, expensive and i forgot the AUX cable (with the controls for the mic and functions) in the seat pocket on my last flight. So I taught these Sony for the price must be good enough. Well, thanks again for the review, will look for something else. Any suggestion in this price range? Wired NC cans?
Just bought these at the airport. Utter rubbish, my search for wired noise cancelling continues (I'm not crazy about the idea of placing two high powered electro-magnetic transceivers on either side of my brain). Why are they rubbish - they don't cancel noise at all, all they do is slightly amplify the midrange frequencies. Like a vocal boost. Also they are on ear, not over ear therefore there's no passive noise sealing. As for audio quality, I don't know if the standard version is better but this is pretty low end. Btw there IS a play pause button on the cable in the mic pod.
Do not buy these, they're low quality crap. 100% agree with all the negative points in this review. The noise cancelling is weak, these headphones are a total waste of money.
@@robertomontalvo7099 till they don't, and when you realise they are glued together and not a screw in sight, you realise they junk, do not buy, spend a bit more and get a better built model! I would know I bought two of these over the past 5 years and I also own a more expensive model that outlived two pairs! Mine got constant daily use, I used these one here for work and the more expensive at home. (pretty much every day)

Looking for them for the same reason
I just used mine today on a flight. The noise cancelling effect was so poor I wanted to trash it...
Got this in Australia at $48
There were $10 in USA
