Sony MDR-NC500D Digital Noise Canceling Headphones

Sony MDR-NC500D

Noise-cancellation is adjustable to your environment and a monitor switch is handy for temporarily hearing external sound. And external battery box is handy when the built-in batteries wear out, but they work nonstop for half a day without a recharge.
Handy external battery box adds to the weight and bulk of the protective carrying case as does the power brick also enclosed. Some bass sounds played at high volume cause ear splitting distortion.

reasonable sound quality (when they actually work)
Poor quality control from manufacturer
"Overpriced Garbage"
Why waste the money!
The phones I purchased were deffective, cracking noise coming out of both ear pieces, I returned to the store and another set they gave me did the same thing, also the phones would not accept a charge or run off the batteries they provided.
Very poor quality control from Sony, I would suggest that you try the phones on first and push the ear pieces to see if they crackle.
