Sony MDR-NC200D Digital Noise-Canceling Headphones

Anyone who commutes or walks in a big city knows how distracting and loud things can get, whether it's a baby screaming seated behind you, whine of a bus engine, loud car horns, people talking loud on their mobile phones, etc. Thanks to Sony MDR-NC200D Digital Noise-Canceling Headphones, anyone can now block all outside noise and enjoy good music. It may cost a hefty $200, but the quality that you get far outweighs the price. Sony MDR-NC200D Digital Noise-Canceling Headphones represent one of the best innovations of modern technology.


So what does a $200 headphone give you?



Don't expect to turn heads with NC200Ds, but that's not a negative thing, as the headphones look handsome with the black shade and effectively functional design. The set is light but built tough with a variety of smooth textures. They include lightly matted earcups and faux leather pads. The yoke can go from flat to ab90 degree rotation, can be folded in and out with secure click and also provide a wide range of tilt on the earcups. With all that, this will likely be the most comfortable set of headphones you ever use.



Fit



The NC200D utilizes an ergonomic oval shape earcup, which is far better than the traditional circular design. It's very ear-friendly and puts very little pressure on ears, perfect for long hours of listening, and a little better than earpads during humid weather as they don't stick to your ears. Above all, users can expect no cartilage cramping even after hours of wearing the headphones. Also, the cups can be folded flat, making it easy to wear around your collar without choking your neck.


Sound Quality



Sony's NC200D has a feature called the AI NC. This feature, when turned on, will take control of the noise-canceling by pausing for a few seconds, listening to outside noise and then adjusting to one of three modes for digital noise-canceling, namely cars, indoor environments and planes. However, when you need to hear the noise around you, can click the monitor button at the back and let it leak some noise in, so you don't really need to take the headphones off. Annoying noises such as air-conditioner hum and engine rumble are certainly done away with this headphone.



This headphone has a very good battery life. Your AAA battery will be good to run for 22 hours, making this headphone a really nice energy saving product. All in all, there's really nothing wrong with this product. The fit is perfect, you get very good sound quality, and more importantly, its automatic noise-cancellation works easily and flawlessly.
