I tried them first and they do a fantastic job of canceling airplane noise.

I find my $10 earbuds do a better job for that

I fly in airplanes a lot, and these do more than an adequate job of making my experience pleasant

It did a good job blocking out engine noise so that the sound from the device did not have to be up very high.

Bought these with the expectation that they would do a decent job of filtering out background noise, and because I've always appreciated the Sony brand when it comes to delivering or listening to music

The noise reduction is no joke, it does a good job of reducing harmful noise

These do a reasonable job of blocking sound in an office environment.

Doesn't do good job at noise cancellation.

They didn't do a great job of cancelling noise, and I certainly wouldn't say that the sound was great, but for what I paid for them, the sound quality was okay.

The sound cancellation, while not complete, definitely still does a great job of bringing out the best of whatever you're listening to

And it seemed like one ear was doing a better job of canceling than the other

both more and less expensive and all the others do a better job, at least for me.

Did a fairly good job.

It does an adequate job at work around tools.

Noice cancellation is, again, nowhere near that of what a Bose offers, but it does a decent job cutting down droning sounds like AC units or idling diesel engines

These headphones do a decent job of noise cancelling, and the sound quality is just above acceptable

On a plane, they do a good job at canceling exactly those background noises, making in-flight entertainment more enjoyable

On a plane, they do a good job at canceling exactly those background noises, making in-flight entertainment more enjoyable

so you don't have to worry about charging it often nor the embedded battery eventually failing (all batteries deteriorate).They do a great job at eliminating noise

These headphones do an adequate job, but they only rest on your ears; they do not cover them.

Once I do that, they do indeed do a pretty good job of cancelling noise, however for

Again, good job guys.

They do a good job of blocking

I thought they were doing a good job until yesterday when two men were talking loudly behind me

Good job Sony, for the price it is definitely well worth it.

and they do not do that job well...

Without the noise cancelling turned on, the headphones are 3.5/5for noise cancelling, but with the noise cancelling these sound almost as good as my turntable(Sanyo GXT 140 H, about middle of the road quality )+A-quality vinyls of the same recording, 4.5/5.They're not going to make conversations next to you go silent, but while playing some Dragonforce on my tablet at ~25% volume, the headphones did an excellent job at cancelling them out

Because they don't fit over your ear, the noise cancelling feature doesn't do a great job

There is a lot of low-mid range ambient noise where I work, and these do a great job of blocking out the background.

and they do the a good job for work headphones where I am listening to online meetings and to music

It did a good job blocking out engine noise so that the sound from the device did not have to be up very high.

These were so much cheaper and do a decent job of noise cancellation, which is the main feature I was looking for

They don't cancel the engine noise completely and the crying baby will still wake you up, but it's better than nothing and does a pretty good job for $30.My biggest gripe is comfort

The electronics do a great job of sculpting the sound that is pushed out of the small 30mm drivers

They do a fine enough job and bloking out all the surrounding noise though

The quality won't completely tune out outside noise, but it doesn't do a bad job either

Really useful, they do the job in cancelling the noise.

The Sony's do a decent job at cancelling out steady low end noise significantly

They do a good job for the price.

For $32 sony did a great job

Does a great job as promised...I just used them on a cross Atlantic flight and they worked wonderfully!

They do a good job of cancelling noise while having a good frequency response

Good basic pair of on-ear noise canceling headphones, nothing fancy but does the job no problems.

It does a great job of tuning out the loud airplane engine.

but they did a pretty good job reducing air conditioner hum and to muffle the TV.Any negatives?

I received this as a Christmas gift and they are comfortable and do a great job at cancelling noise.

NO REGRETS!Where the do not drown out all the noise around me, they do a heck of a good job at filtering out most of it to the point where I can easily concentrate and not find myself flying into a frustrated rage by lunch

Nice job Sony

They do a pretty good job of cancelling out typical background noise and even the TV if it isn't set too loud

These are not entirely noise cancelling, but for the price they really do a good job.

It does a really good job of cancelling out the machine noises

No, but they do a great job in toning down the harsh jet engine roar during the flight.

However, they do it perfectly fine job

I used this for air travel and it did a great job reducing the engine noise.

Do a good job for the price.

And while the Sony headphones don't give the ear coverage of the Bose, they still do a very effective job of reducing noise on the plane

Nevertheless they do a solid job of warding people away from me at work when I'm trying to concentrate

With the music playing they do a fantastic job paired with the noise cancel feature.

They do a very good job of eliminating almost all of the white noise/background roar in a plane cabin
