Since I'm not an audiofile I don't see this necessary. I'm fine with my $13 skullcandy headphones.

Am I wrong? Aren't noise reduction headphones most useful when either you are in a car or in an airplane? It helps reduce those constant drone sounds. I will definitely look at this as my family will be traveling this summer.

u post this without a picture come on, i own the mdr-v600 from sony great headphones for studio recordings.
I Recently moved from a house to an apartment now i cannot watch movies using my 7.1 system,this would be an amazing add , i'll read some reviews and see how good they are.
And a hint for those fancy headphones haters, once u hear a great sound u just can not keep listening stuff with 13$ headphones
it's like an ear evolution
Also most sound engineers use Sony Headphones not bose or samson or any other brand

The noise cancellation maybe nice if you're always in a noisy environment but I will just stick with my Shure SE210 Earphones.
Heck for $400 (the price of these Sony headphones see here.)
I would rather buy the Shure SE420's.
Peace

They're two completely different products. The Shure item you posted is a bud style (canalphones) headphone. The Sony item is a circumaural noise cancelling set. Have you ever used this type of headphone? They are truly amazing. You could be in a car or on a plane, as soon as you put them on... It's like an off switch to the outside World!

No, they only block copyrighted sounds and competitors adds.

Active noise cancelling like these Sonys modify the sound. I'd rather listen to music that's been unaltered. My Shure e2c do a fine job of passive noise cancelling.

Yes, the Shure stuff is a earphone (as opposed to the headphone style of the Sony product) but personally even when I wear just those earbuds they block out more than enough noise, without any music coming though them. This is why I compared them to these Sony headphones.

To each his (or her) own I guess, I personally like my Shure stuff better than any product I've tried.
