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.

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

1st Class Quality sound at a mid range price!
These 'phones are incredible. I paid far more than the 179 that Play are selling these for and at that price you are getting Bose/Denon beating headphones. The noise cancelling element has made some recent longhaul flights very easy.

Amazing headphones
After doing a lot of research on different headphones, I settled on these. THEY'RE AMAZING!!! I've been looking for a pair of good sound isolation headphones for over a year. I've owned the Beats Studios and I find that they're very bass heavy.

Sony?MDR-NC500
awesome product, excellent NC, specially on the plane. Has separate mode for trains, also excellent. In office, vs humans, not so excellent NC. However it does make a difference. You can listen for hours without ear fatibugue. Cable very long, carry case good and flexible.

Review: Sony MDR-NC500D
Record labels, hammered by ever plummeting CD sales, see a ray of sunshine in the recent minor renaissance in vinyl records, whose sales and production continue to steadily expand. The reason for this 33 1/3 RPM nostalgia?
Pros:
- Noise-cancellation is adjustable to your environment and a monitor switch is handy for temporarily hearing external sound
- And external battery box is handy when the built-in batteries wear out, but they work nonstop for half a day without a recharge
Cons:
- Handy external battery box adds to the weight and bulk of the protective carrying case as does the power brick also enclosed
- Some bass sounds played at high volume cause ear splitting distortion

The Sony MDR-NC500D headphones are suitable for music listening or movie watching, and they pack in some high quality noise-cancelling technology which makes them great for commuting or long-haul plane trips. Sound quality is good and the headphones are well constructed, but they are expensive.

- Stylish and scratch-resistant exterior
- comfortable padding
- battery pack for extended use
- good sound quality
- noise cancelling works exceptionally well
Cons:
- Tight fit may annoy some
- must be powered to work

Sony MDR-NC500D review Review
The over-the-ear MDR-NC500Ds are, according to Sony, the world's first digital noise-cancelling headphones. Lightweight and extremely comfortable, they certainly provide the best noise-cancelling experience we've had to date.
Pros:
- Lightweight construction
- Fantastic noise-cancelling performance
Cons:
- Expensive
- Weak bass response
