I WANT MY MONEY BACK!!!
If you ever plan on doing anything serious with those headphones you can just forget about it right now. Sound is horrible. On top of it - after 10 mins of wearing those phones your ears start to HURT and it's unbearable. I want to keep listening to my music but I just feel like if I don't take them off I'll lose my ears. Please, MY MONEY BACK!!!

Not very pleased
Pros: Design
Cons: not comfortable, sound quality dissatisfaction
Well for that price they could've made them better I think. First I didn't like the fact that they don't cover your ears and also after 25 min of use your ears start to hurt - BAD. About the sound... definitely surprised since they are product of Sony, what I mean is that for 50 bucks you could have made the sound quality nice. These headphones have terrible low frequency capabilities but in mid and high they are decent which doesn't mean perfect at all. Design is AMAZING and pretty stylish but... if you are buying headphones I'm sure thats not what you are looking for in first place. I saw them yesterday on the shelf for 48 $ or something close to it, and I thought since they are Sony (I always buy Sony products because they are my favorite brand and never had any remarks until now) they should be nice, but the sound quality was so disappointing that I have decided to return them day after they were purchased.

Convinced . . .
Pros: Lightweight, comfortable, clean design, folds neatly, long cord, bag and plug, most noise eliminated.
This headset must be the most comfortable equipment I've ever used. It wasn't too heavy, and folds up neatly. I was happy to see that the cord was longer than the previous headphone I used, thus was not restricting. Not all, but most noise was eliminated, making the experience of listening an enjoyable one. The bag and travel plug is appreciated. It is worth the price entirely.

pretty good
These headphones are really really good for the price. Bose and other companies are like 100s of dollars, but these are affordable, and so the fact that they dont block ALLL the sound once you flick the switch (w/o music playing) is acceptable however a few things i dont like is the fact that if ur on a bus, bumps and shakings of the bus causes the music to get all shaky...like the vibrations affect the music. and also it picks up bits of static frequencies from around. other than that, i love it. sleek, small, not all hugeand eskimoearmuff-looking...really good as a gift.

Better than Bose
One of the best headphones I ever had. Before I had these magnificent headphones I had the Bose headphones. The bose had good sound but they were not as portable and the design was not what I was looking for. The MDR-NC7/BLK Sony headphones have good sound quality, noise canceling is great, and overall very portable. Best looking headphones out their in the market.

Love the new headphones
Pros: Excellent design, work great w/rechargeable batteries
Cons: None
I love the way that they fold up for storage. It's almost like they create a "wall of sound". They really do block out the noise, especially when you're listening to music on your computer. Better than your model MDR-V150. They even work with rechargeable AAA batteries. Excellent design. I would absolutely recommend to a friend.
- Reduction of energy of sound compared with not wearing headphones.
- Actual time may vary based on product settings, usage patterns, battery and environmental conditions.
- May not be compatible with some in-flight audio/video services.
