Then, I saw these for almost half as much. I returned my Bose headphones and bought these. The sound of the Sony headphones is almost better than the Bose, as long as you have them turned on. Without them on, they don't have good sound at all. from Bestbuy.com It's a tight squeeze but I now manage to store my iPod nano in the case too. It then stores easily and it is pretty light to carry around. Otherwise they are ok comfort-wise, just a tiny bit tighter on the ear than my older Sony noise canceling headphones. Sound-wise, the bass is a bit too much boosted even for my taste; a bit of equalization on the iPod fixes that easily. from Amazon.com Adjusting them made no difference. I've seen the reviews from others here saying that they are comfortable so maybe I have a big head or something. Anyway, the Sony's had go back and I got a set of Bose (without noise canceling) that was more expensive but worth it because they fit perfectly and sound amazing. As far as sound, the Sony's sound ok (only with NC turned on), but not amazing like the ones I have now. from Amazon.com I bought these headphones after a run of buying rather inexpensive ones (incidentally also made by Sony) that lasted less than a month or two. I bought them because I wanted more comfortable headphones to use while doing work, and for the noise canceling capability. from Amazon.com the unit is rather comfortable as supra-aural form, can last an hour or two, and noise cancelling is decent when using it in subway, about on par with sennheiser PXC150 if you want low price noise cancelling headphones, this is for you however, if you have $120 or more, get NC60 or PXC350, they have way better effect from Amazon.com It is one of the most comfortable headphones I have used, regarding the noise canceling ones. It fits on the ear quite well, and unlike the Sennheiser ones I don't need to correct its fit, after I move my head a bit. Sennheiser ones barely fit on the ear, but for the MDR-NC40 you don't really need to adjust its position to make it fit. That also means it is more sensually-hidden to my conscious. from Amazon.com I used to have a Sennheiser PXC 250, but it broke, so I thought to have a try at a different brand. After reading all the comments about Sony MDR-NC40, I thought I should give it a try. I received the item about three days ago, tried it on for one day, and it didn't work at all. from Amazon.com This Sony product just replaced my Philips headset which was working fine, but the size and portability of the Sony got my attention. I use it more for the noise-cancelling feature on planes than to listen to music, but when I have listened to audio the Philips always seemed a little weak in the bass range. from Amazon.com With these headphones the surrounding nosie heard may not be as bad as other headphones but the nosie still filtered through. I am a little dissappointed. I gave the Sony MDR-NC40 two stars because they are I will say better then other headphones I have used. from Amazon.com I like Sony products, but this one wasn't up to expectations. It is very good in terms of noise canceling, but it is not comfortable and it usually cause me headaches. from Amazon.com
