Precise Noise Canceling

A key distinction with digital noise canceling is precision. The NC200D reduces up to 98.2% ambient noise when the noise canceling circuit is activated.

Compact Size

A new and unique folding system reduces the size of the headphones by nearly 40% when not in use, making them easier to travel with.

Battery

A single AAA battery provides up to 22 hours of listening time.1

Digital Noise canceling technology

Digital technology provides for optimal noise cancelation with outstanding audio performance. Read below to learn more about the digital difference when it comes to noise canceling headphones.

Intelligent Auto-Selection

Not all ambient noise is the same. When you press the Artificial Intelligence (AI) button the headphones will automatically select the optimal noise canceling mode (for aircraft, train or office) based on intelligent analysis of environmental ambient noise.

40mm Driver Units

40mm drivers deliver wider frequency response and superb sound quality.

Accessories

Travel case, in-flight plug adapter and AAA battery included.

High-quality sound

Full, authentic sound is reproduced via full digital amplification in concert with a high performance digital equalizer that delivers ideal frequency response. Powerful 40MM driver units are ready to handle your loud powerful music or vocals.

Passive Listening

Allows audio listening even when the power is turned off. Listening in an already quiet environment? Save the battery for later. Or should your battery run out mid-flight and you not have a spare, you’ll still be able to listen without the noise canceling activated.

Lasting comfort

The lightweight, super soft on-ear design allows for comfortable wearing over long periods of time. Ergonomically shaped flexible earpads and the adjustable headband also allow for a proper fit, making them a great companion on long flights.

Great noise cancelling headphones!

Pros: Comfortable; well made, detachable cable, highly portable, nice features.

Cons: Wish it had an in-line mic for answering calls.

I've used these headphones for over a week (roughly 25 hours) and I can strongly recommend them. The artificial intelligence feature seems to work well, and I often make use of the Monitor button - it deactivates the NC feature and mutes the audio. Thus, when you are wearing these headphones and someone talks to you, rather than having to take them off, you can just press the Monitor button and have the conversation. Even better, when the annoying Pandora commercials come on, hit the monitor button for 30 seconds and avoid the irritating ads. To my untrained ears, music sounds good, with just the right amounts of treble and bass. The engineering is fantastic - they fold up into a small case for easy portability. Battery life is excellent - I got through a whole week of listening for hours a day. Make sure you use rechargeable batteries (1 AAA) to save money and help the environment. And unlike Bose, if your battery dies you can still use them, albeit without the NC. I use these mainly while reading at coffee houses, but am looking forward to using them while flying, where I expect them to perform very well. Overall - highly recomended.

Great Headphones!

Pros: Amazing sound, effective noise cancelling, fits nicely.

Cons: Sound is poor without battery or NC on. No inline volume cntrl/mic.

Great pair of headphones. Reminds me of the Beats Solo by Monster. However, if the battery is not in and the NC is not in the bass is decreased noticeably. My box also did not come with a battery which was a bit odd. These are worth the price right now ($89). Go ahead and buy them they are great!

Comfortable and Reliable

Pros: VERY comfortable. Does well on noise cancelling.

Cons: I kinda wish it had a volume adjustment on it, instead of having to use the computer's adjustment.

Very comfortable. Stylish. Itravel on overseas quite often, in rough environments, and these hold up. The case it comes in is very protective and shiq.They do feel like they cost more than they did. Sony delivers again. These are far more comfortable than former Bose I have experience with. However, i am slightly dissapointed there is no volume adjuster on the cord. It isnt a huge thing, and that is one more thing that could go wrong with a headset, but it sometimes would be nice to have. Atleast as an addon. They do give you a handy airplane jack, so you will be able to use it when flying on vacation.

Great Headphones

Pros: Great Noise Cancelling very comfortable Great Sound easy to carry

Cons: No Cons they are just perfect maybe a little price but they are worth every pennyy

This Headphones are the best. When I bought them I needed something to reduce noise when I was travelling every morning in a Van from one City to the other to be able to get some rest. and they worked great. they reduced almost all the noise same as advertised. I don't think the Bose or Beats are better than them this are the best. when I want to listen to music the sound is so perfect I recommend them for anybody
