OK, but problems with the rubber ear bud covers.......2007-11-27
The rubber ear bud covers tend to fall off and I haven't been able to replace them. If I had to do it all over again, I'd buy over the ear noise canceling head phones.
Great little headphones, but seem to break easily.......2007-08-28
I purchased these headphones when I was writing my senior thesis in college to block out all distractions. The sound quality was great, and the noise cancelation is quite impressive. This is the only pair of noise-canceling headphones I have ever used, so I don't have anything to compare them to, but they seemed to do a great job cutting down on ambient noise. No complaints there.
However, after about 4 months of steady use, the speaker in the left ear stopped working. If I fiddled with the wire a little bit the sound would come in and out, suggesting that a wire had come loose from the speaker.
From reading other reviews, this appears to be a common problem, and until Sony addresses the issue, I would stay away from these headphones. I suppose you sacrifice some durability for the small size, which is too bad. It is important for me to note that I am an incredibly loyal Sony customer, but can't endorse a product that can't stand up to under a year of normal use.
Did NOT last past 90 days!.......2007-05-30
I bought these at full retail price ($99.99) in February 2007. They worked well for a little over three months, and then all of a sudden, from normal everyday use, the left earbud just stopped working. UGH!
The noise cancellation worked well enough, particularly during my daily NYC subway commute. However, it was too easy to get the cords tangled. Plus, the triangular on-off switch/clip-on was at an awkward length for use with an iPod, on a treadmill or elliptical machine. (Also, it was easy to forget that noise cancellation was on, so I would wear down the battery frequently. It should have an auto shut-off feature.)
In short, it does what it's supposed to do, but for the price, it should last a good couple of years. I do NOT recommend this product. Do a search for "earbuds" or "headphones" here on Amazon, sort by "Bestselling," and choose something else.
Great Headphones, not so great seller........2007-04-03
I'm sitting in my Hotel in the Ukraine writing this after having just flown here from New York, via Vienna. I ordered these through a seller at amazon from ace digital club. They did not arrive before my trip even though I paid extra for expedited shipping. That was probably a good things as it forced me to look elsewhere. I found them at a local store. Actually these are the newer NC-22's, so they may perform better than the 11's, but I loved these headphones. There was a crying baby about two rows from me and with the NC on , the crying was barely noticable. Howl of the plane noice went totally away. It was a completely new air travel experience for me. I would recommend these babies to anyone going on a long flight, but get the NC-22's to be on the safe side and I would not recommend Ace Digital Club.
Serious durability issues.......2007-04-02
Thought they were okay, the noise canceling and sound quality was not amazing but like clockwork, the right speaker quit after 6 months of light use. I thought other users with bad reviews had just had simply experienced luck but not I can safely say DO NOT BUY THESE!

It works great.......2007-12-16
The headphone works great. Even without Noise Cancelling on, you would hear much better than regular headphones. It's very well constructed and it's one of the few earbuds you really feel comfortable with.
Smaller, less expensive -- good for commuting and keeping in your briefcase.......2007-12-11
I don't have the time (nor the money) to do side-by-side comparisons of all the over-ear, on-ear, and in-ear options. I just knew I needed something affordable to block out noise so I could be more productive on planes and trains.
These headphones do a great job of blocking the general roar of the commuter train -- it's amazing how much lower I can set the volume on my MP3 player with the noise cancellation option on. This has got to be good for my ears.
Don't expect these headphones to block all the noise like you might get with the uber-expensive (IMO) Bose models. On the other hand, you don't have to carry a separate briefcase for these, either. I also don't feel like my head's in a clamp with the in-ear design.
Added bonus: battery life is excellent!
decent noise cancelling, better than NC11.......2007-11-12
I have been using NC11 for 5 years
it has good noise cancelling effect, but there's a problem: it always falls off from my ear, no matter which silicone cup I use
this one is lighter on earpiece units, that don't fall off like NC11
the noise cancelling effect is decent, probably the best of the price range
but the mic unit picks up treble, which can pick up some sharp noise
other than that, it's the best for the price
As advertised.......2007-11-05
Product was new as advertised and came in original box. Delivery was also right on schedule.
Good, Good, Good........2007-10-15
Amazon should find some way to link the reviews / ratings for the different versions of this device (black, white, pink) instead of making us look them up separately.
Good sized; as it is not bulky like over-the-ear-phones and the electronics capsule is small.
Good value; as you will most likely not need to make payments on something that you may not need to use very frequently.
Good performance; as it blocks the overall noise level nearly as well as most hearing protection earplugs and cancels the annoying, low level background rumble that makes you tired and cranky. This product helps you play music, etc at a lower level and save your hearing. The only problem I had was the times my ears "popped" during ascending and descending, it seemed a little more painful, but that may have just been that I am an infrequent flier and my ears are kind of sensitive. It also comes with an airline headphone adapter that did not work too well for me -- I think it was the crummy, abused jack and system on the airplanes as it works well with my laptop.
