SonyMDR-ZX110NC Overhead Noise Cancelling Headphones - Black

I bought these headphones after reading the reviews. They were really good on and 11 hr flight cancelling out some of the engine and passenger noise and allowing me to listen to the in-flight movies and music. They do not cancel out all of the noise but do take the edge off the engine and ambient noise and the sound delivery is good.It was a toss up for me between these and the cheaper Sony headphones without the noise cancelling and I’m pleased I chose these ones. They were comfortable to wear constantly for 11 hrs and the noice cancelling worked well with the movie or music playing.The build quality is good and they good flat for packing. The wire is quite short and flimsy - ideal for flying but maybe not as good for daily or gym use.Overall I was pleased with my purchase and they were ideal for blocking out the aircraft noise of people and engines for a reasonable price.

I bought this product mainly for blocking out noise as I have autism. Whilst it doesn't block all sound our I think it goes a really good job and dampening it down.The sound quality for me is great and it feels comfortable to wear.I like to have wired headphones as I'm not keen on batteries running out and remembering to always charge. So these are really handy to have with me.

I bought these specifically for a noisy office environment. In my opinion, they perform very admirably given their price point. While they don't eliminate *all* ambient noise, as soon as they are turned on they greatly reduce noise occupying the crucial parts of the frequency spectrum needed by music. When music is playing, it is difficult to hear anything else ~ even soft piano music can be enjoyed without significant disturbance. So I would say the *active* noise cancellation here is impressive - certainly no gimmick.As for sound quality, music is clear and detailed. You are not going to be blown away, but you are going to be able to enjoy your favourite music in reasonable quality on the move, with decent treble and bass response. Again, I think they're as good as you could expect for portable cans at this price.Now, some downsides you might like to consider. As far as I can tell, in addition to the noise cancellation the battery also provides extra power to the drivers. That is to say, switching them on is essential - without being switched on, they sound no better than the most budget of headphones on the market (muddy and muffled), and their *passive* noise cancellation isn't up to much either, as you would expect from small portable cans. Fortunately the battery does not need replacing often. They are also not the most comfortable headphones in the world, although they aren't terrible in this regard. They must be situated on your ears just right in order for the noise cancellation to work to its best.Don't expect miracles from these, but do expect some quality cans with good sound and portability on a budget.

Great sound and noise cancellation. Unfortunately, didn't even make it through a month (purchased on 1st July 2022) without quality control issue from the flimsy plastic that protects the wires. They still work, but as you can see, the plastic that protects the wires has detached and slid down from the nub, exposing the wires. Headphones have never been dropped, knocked and the wire has never been yanked. On close inspection, it looks like the wire cover has been squeezed into the nub rather than glued, molded in. This is a case of getting what you pay for which is a shame, because the actual sound output is excellent.

Well I'm genuinely impressed, I wanted a cheapish pair of headphones for my son to use on the plane, so I figured I'd try a pair with noise cancellation. I just received these and wow I was really impressed.OK the noise cancellation isn't gonna be as good as a pair of Bose QC25's but you know what for the price they do a dammed good job. I tried these with some music switched on the headphones noise cancellation and wow I was really impressed. The music was crisp and had good base, I was even sat next to a desk fan at the time and it seemed to block out most of the sound of the fan, the headphones even managed to drown out the Mrs shouting at me from the bottom of the stairs, so a nice bonus there !!!!.My only small critism would be comfort, the headbad has zero padding and is just plain old plastic on the top of your head, so I dont know how comfortable these would be after a few hours of use, but if you just want a nice neat pair of headphones thats not gonna cost the earth that sound great you cant go wrong with a pair of these. Sony even throw in a aeroplane adapter too so you can take your headphones on a flight and ot pay the air line £2 just o listen to the inflight movie. Just cant really fault these.

These are very good headphones. Bought them for a long haul flight but didn't want to spend big money. These were cheap and made a real difference. They have active noise cancelling so you can really tell the difference when switching them on without music. They are also comfy and the battery (1 × AAA) lasts for ever. They don't completely cancel out all plane noise but enough to make a tangible difference.

The sound quality is better than almost all other head sets at the same price, even those without NC.Built to last, decent sound quality, very good noise cancellation, and cheap!These are Very effective on a plane or train or car at drowning out background noise while watching tv shows and movies on iPad or phone.For a cheap travel headset with sony reliabilty these are great.I've bought a 2nd set as my first is now 5 yrs old and used everyday by my son. Still works.As good as my old 200e seinhiessers with noise cancellation which i broke.
