Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

If you're looking for an inexpensive noise reducing (note, I did not say cancelling) headset for use on an airplane, the Sony MDRX110NC is a really solid buy. If you are looking for a headset that truly cancels all noise, you are going to be disappointed with this purchase. Pros: -They work well at reducing airplane engine noise (the reason I bought them.) -Compact due to their folding design. -On ear design, which work very well if you wear glasses. -Price, price, price. Cons: -Do not have the best sound, so if you're looking for Bose like quality, stop here. -I found the cord length a tad short, but certainly wasn't a deal breaker. In order for these to do their job, you simply must turn the switch on, without them they are no better (perhaps even worse) than the free earbuds that come with any smartphone. Both my wife and I have used the one set we own on business trips. Having just booked a trip to Europe, I just bought a second set so that we will both have them for the long flight. For the price, these headphones are good enough, and if anything were to happen to them, I would't feel nearly as bad as I would if I had paid $300-400 for top of the line headphones.
