Manufacturer's Description
Sony's MDR-NC50 noise canceling headphones offer a sublime listening experience. The advanced noise-canceling circuitry reduces ambient noise through a special phase canceling process. You get 14dB noise reduction at 300Hz. That means you'll hear more music and less plane, train or bus noise. Perfect for work, traveling, or even when you're trying to sleep in a loud place. The ear conscious design offers premium comfort, so you can wear them for long stretches without getting your ears pinched. The built-in monitor switch lets you hear surrounding sound without taking off the headphones. Shut out the noise with the MDR-NC50.

Amazing
I hate flying and these made a recent flight an absolute luxury. They are comfy and cancel out all back ground noise completely, including the little brat who screamed constantly for 12 hours! Worth every penny.

Great purchase
I am very impressed with these headphones. I have used them on two flights, each lasting about 6 or 7 hours, and also on shorter flights. They do just what you would expect them to - significantly reduce the flight noise, and allow you to listen to your music. The noise cancellation feature does noticeably reduce the aircraft noise still further. You can allow outside sounds in temporarily by pressing a button on one headset. I can't imagine flying without them now - I felt so much more calm and relaxed with the aircraft noise reduced. The headphones are able to give a good reproduction of both treble and bass sounds. I can't comment on why someone else wrote that they have a problem with the bass sounds - it's fine as far as I'm concerned. There are adaptors supplied to fit into aircraft headphone sockets, but you can also use the headset with your own media player. The headphones, cable, and plugs fit neatly inside the supplied carrying case. Of course, the headphones don't have to be plugged into anything - I've also used them just by themselves, to benefit from the noise cancellation feature.

Very Satisfied!
I was a little disappointed to see Amazon didn't sell Bose Headphones, so I decided to purchase the Sony MDF-NC50 Noise Cancelling Headphones which are a great cost effective alternative without the compromise in quality. I bought these for a flight lasting 6 hours - easily the most comfortable headphones I've tried on with great adjustable head band to fit all head sizes! A decent sized cable length and the very useful plane adapter included.

As for the noise cancelling technology - I was very impressed, having tried the new Bose Quiet Comfort v3 I feel Sony's version is strong competition for Bose, granted there is a slight difference between the Sony and Bose Noise Cancelling Technology but your paying an extra £150 or so. When turning this feature on you could immediately notice the difference as the plane droning was reduced dramatically. I did at first experience the problem with only hearing the headphones through 1 ear but this was easily resolved as I hadn't pushed the cable in fully!

Comes with a good rugged case too! - Overall I rated this 5 stars as it had no floors for my usage. - I'd highly recommend this if you don't want to spend the extra money for Bose equipment.
