Sony claims that their new headphones can reduce ambient sound by over 10dB at 300Hz. This is nothing short of spectacular when considering that the asking price for this unit is under half that of the Bose alternative. Bose's headphones are also reviewed by this author at cancellingnoise.com.
As should be expected from an established company like Sony, the MDR-NC6 comes with all of the standard features, such as:
-adjustable headset
-swivel folding earcups
-compact flat folding design and,
-plug adaptor for both in-flight and home stereo compatibility
These features can be found on any noise cancelling headphones that are worth their salt.
Basically these headphones are best described as a close second to its Bose counterpart. Both the passive and active noise cancelling capability of Bose is superior to this model but the real advantage lies in the price. This model proves that you don't need to pay exorbitant amounts of money for high quality noise cancelling headphones. Essentially, Bose have pioneered this new technology with a tremendous product, but Sony are blazing a new trail, which may just prove to be more successful in the marketplace. In any case, the duel between these two giants of the audio industry is destined to see consumers win.
