Best Over Ear Noise Cancellation Headphone

I bought this 2 weeks ago, and i'm really happy with this headphone. Have an incredible noise cancellation and great sound.

I am a Grado headphone addict. I need and demand the best sound production. I have never liked noise cancelling headphones. I considered them gimmicky. I own the Bose older 15’s. The sound was hollow and the noise cancellation technology hurst my ears. So I abandoned trying any others for four years. In anticipation of traveling, I overcame my reluctance with NC headphones after internet reviews, and sampled the new Bose 700 at their store. Overwhelming treble. Ouch! But better (not great) telephone call sound. Did not buy. Tried these from B & H. Wow! What makes these truly worth it: technology is subordinate to sound. Noise cancellation takes a back seat to sound production. I need the best sound. That’s why at home I listen with Grado cans. I refused to believe the overwhelmingly positive reviews of these Sonys until I tried them over two recent flights on a plane. The newest NC technology with Sony is a game changer. No ear pain! You can easily adjust the degree of noise cancellation with their iPhone app. You’ve got to see the options in that app. Customization of NC, sound equalizer and sound reference options! Now I know why Sony is cornering the NC headphone market. Terrific. Highly recommended. Don’t believe this review. Try it.

first of all, this is not a noise cancellation headphone. If you are looking for NC, go to Bose. However let's face this, under$, you could get a headphone quality is way better than beats or the main stream brands in the market, you better know where you put your money. Think about all the commercial those overrated headphone has, all those super star will cost money, and you will the one to pay for it. Have you seen any major commercial for this headphone? and why they are still popular among professional users, it's all common sense now.

I have an older Sony Noise Cancellation headphone and I decided to buy this new one. It is a real big improvement in quality and comfort. I strongly recommend it. Another option for me was Bose but I don't like the modern Bose 700 design.

Lightweight, comfortable to the point of not knowing you are wearing them, great sound but still allows you to hear ambient noise. If you don't want to shut out the world around you or better yet, it you want to be aware of what is happening around you for safety reasons or not zoning out, these do the job very well. Three improvements could be made. First, noise cancellation is not available which I understand is not so much due to the design and engineering, but is a result of the way sound is transmitted from these earphones to your ear canal which does not allow for noise cancellation. Second, no volume control on the devices themselves, quite a short coming, but I can't imagine they would have left this feature off if it could have been engineered into the product. Third, an easy fix. I found if you brush your ear, say to swat an insect, you could accidentally also brush off the earphone and as with all miniature earphones like this, if you are standing in a bunch of plants or other stuff, it's hard to find. If you are skiing and this happens, good luck finding it in the snow or anywhere else if you are in motion and it pops off your ear. It would be easy to have an accessory detachable cable that ties the two earphones together so if one falls out, it does not fall to the ground. Even if they both fall out, it would be much easier to find with a connecting bright coloured cable. You could also buy a similar product at an eyewear store, but Shokz could probably design something that would look appropriate for the earphones.

Love these. Much more comfortable than ear buds. Worth sacrificing noise cancellation for all day comfort

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I took these as my only sound device for a three week trip that included working out, urban, beach, and mountain (hiking) time. They held up for just about everything I could ask for and were very comfortable to boot. Audio quality is clear, and once I got a snug ear canal fit, I could really hear the full range of bass and treble. I stuck with the default ear tips. Noise cancellation is very good for earbuds - I estimate 60% of airplane noise was eliminated. Noise cancellation was not very effective when biking at high speeds or into the wind, but that is consistent with every other pair of NC earbuds I have used. Battery life was a little inconsistent but still satisfactory overall; I ate through a full charge on a 5 hour flight but then still had over 50% left on a subsequent 5 hour flight. Charging is the only area I have a minor quibble with. The buds' position in the charging case seems to be rather finicky. There were several times I placed them inside and one side didn't charge. As far as I can tell the charging light doesn't indicate whether one or both buds are charging.
