Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I am quite pleased with these little 'phones.I was given an iPod and since the included buds were just abysmal and since I travel a lot....well, it was a prudent purchase :-)
I have three sets of Noise Cancelling headphones (the others are sennheiser and panasonic) and these little MDRNC11's have a very similar ability to dim ambient noise in a MUCH smaller package - perfect for my dawn and midnight runs and they are great on the airplane, the bus and the office.
After a great deal of futzing with the included (and VERY comfortable) silicone ear moulds the sound is now fantastic on my iPod.I am still listenint to MP3's (or MP4's) so the sound is not audiophile quality but I am quite happy with what I hear.
In other reviews some of the folks has mentioned the bass-heavy nature of these drivers - yes, they are a tad bass heavy, but on the iPod the "acoustic" setting rounds them out very well.
The vast majoriety of music I listen to is classical and jazz.The opening track of "Jazz at the Pawnshop" is littered with lovely ambient noises that come through very well.As this is a pretty standard track for demoing audiophile sound systems, I would say that for $100 I got a heck of a bang for my buck :-)
Again, MP3's (even the ones from apple.com) still sound like MP3's, but these little buds reproduce the music with elan.If you need a personal Oasis in your daily life I can think of many worse purchases in the headphone market.
FInal tip, shop around :-)
