The case was way to bulky so I was just storing them in the back pack when traveling. They didn't last long - one of the arms broke after a month or so. And when I tried to get them fixed sony didn't have the part so they simply refunded my $400. Not a bad deal but I wouldn't buy them again. from Amazon.com The two I've tried might just have been from a bad batch. In any case, the pulsating low frequency noise is so irritating that it makes you physically sick, not unlike the feeling of motion sickness. I guess Sony's got to go back to the drawing table. I hate to write this because I really like Sony's products; I have a whole array of pro-level video products. from Amazon.com Fantastic noise canceling. Bought these for my commute to Riyadh KSA every six weeks and they work great. from Amazon.com For $400.00 you would expect something really great but I was very disappointed. First the Carrying case it comes with far too large. When you try to put all the components which I have to do each day, it is very annoying to find a ways to organize the components so that they do not damage the headphones. The carrying case has fixtures that the ear pieces fit onto so as to protect the drivers and electronics. from Amazon.com Forgot to bring my noise canceling headphones on a recent trip and decided to pick up a pair of those on the return leg. The built quality is very good, it comes with a nice (but quite large) case and a full set of cables and adapters. from Amazon.com I bought these headphones after trying them out at Narita airport in Tokyo earlier this year. I didn't have time to charge the internal battery before the flight, so I used AA batteries in the included adapter cable. from Amazon.com I bought these in a Sony store. The booklet says the phones work with 2 AA batteries, or with the inbuilt rechargeable batteries. from Amazon.com 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. The Sony response was "Unfortunately, this item is not available from Sony Parts Department or from Sony Style." from Amazon.com I had to add a review here to counter some of what has been written about these headphones. I have owned these headphones for around 10 months and have used them on many flights during that time. from Amazon.com I have been using Bose QC1, QC2 and QC3. I was looking for something better. Well did Sony succeed? Absolutely not. from Amazon.com
