Sony MDR-NC500D Review
Sony introduced the MDR-NC500D at CES 2008 as the world's first fully digital noise canceling headphones, setting the $400 USD price tag accordingly. The all-digital design allows more flexibility in performance compared with analog models; you can dial in the appropriate level of noise cancellation...

Oustanding for ham radio
I travel extensively and purchased these to use while on planes. The previous noise cancelling headphones that I had, Sony NC60 were terrible for ham radio use. The NC500C is simply amazing to use for ham radio.

No difference between on and off
I received these as a gift for Christmas. Put the battery in and they don't sound any different between on and off. Actually there is slightly more noise when they are powered on. Went outside where there was more ambient noise and there was no difference between on and off.
Pros:
- Nothing
Cons:
- It doesn't seem to do anything

These industry-first digital noise canceling headphones from Sony promise to cut surrounding noise by up to 99%. They use nifty artificial intelligence to determine the best noise profile for your surroundings to deliver quality sound with almost no background noise.

Sony MDR-NC500D Headphones
The Sony MDR -NC500D headphones are a set of noise-cancelling over-ears. With the noise-cancelling feature and premium price ($400), it certainly appears the NC500Ds are Sony's answer to Bose's QuietComfort series. Even the carrying case looks identical to the one Bose offers.

Sony MDR-NC500D review
The Sony MDR-NC500Ds aren't as mobile or as unobtrusive as more compact designs, but they're not unduly heavy and many people will find them more comfortable than in-ear products. Intelligent circuitry selects the mode most effective for the environment you're in.

Excellent Noise Blocking and Great Sound
The Sony MDR-NC500D Digital Noise Cancelling Headphones and one of the best set of noise cancelling headphone I have experienced. They block out slightly less background noise compared to the latest Bose models, but the sound quality and bass response are much better.
Pros:
- Comfortable
- Good Bass
