Everyone has heard of noise-canceling headphones but surprisingly few public actually used noise-canceling headphones. It is understandable, shelling several hundred dollars to get something that “might supply more comfort” is not tempting, at first. Off course, the best thing is to try some for yourself, but we might have an easier date to get tests units, so here’s our review of the Sony MDR-NC500D noise-canceling headphones.

Let’s get into it: I have taken the headphones to a trip to Europe.

That’s a 9 hours flight right there – an ideal examining ground for our gadget. So how does it work?

Noise Canceling

In short: it is good. It does not completely remove the plane’s noise, but the engine noise goes from “surrounding you” to being a “distant noise”. I have been impressed with the quality of the noise reduction.
