Sony Headphones – Experience The Best

Record labels, hit by ever decreasing album sales, actually see a ray of light in the recent discrete renaissance in vynil records, whose production and sales continue to slowly increase. The reason for that 33 1/3 RPM nostalgia? The growing of a desire coming from a growing community of music geeks who have been complaining about the cold sound of digital reproduction since the first CD was produced. (And also don’t even get them started about the audio quality of MP3s.) Vinyl records, these people claim, have warmer, more natural audio. Sony headphones? Okay, so what is this gotta do with Sony’s Digital Noise Cancelling Headsets? That actually depends on the way you like the sound reproduction of the music you like to listen to: analog warm or digital cool.

Until now, the Bose QuietComfort headphones have established the standard for top-notch noise-cancellation. Could the Sony headphones out-Bose Bose with its whole new digital headsets? Soon after comparing both on a plane, a noisy commuter bus or train as well as a quiet room, we noticed that indeed, Sony had out-Bose Bose, yet not really for the better.  

Noise-Cancelation: Sony’s analogue-digital conversion actually minimize the uniquitous frustrating drone of a jet motor, yelling kids and surrounding sounds. The headsets actually put you in your own cocoon of silence. Bose does the same, but Sony let us enhance the noise-cancelling mode to three different surroundings: plane, bus/train and office environment. By merely pressing an artificial intelligence press button on the right ear piece, it was possible to eliminate external noises efficiently. Sony also added a handy monitor button which lets you listen to exterior sound like an airline flight attendant inquiring if you want a drink. With Bose, you must power down or take out the headphones entirely to listen to noises coming from the outside.  

Portability and Comfort: Check this out: Bose QuietComfort fit within its 2-inch-thick carrying bag weighs in at just one lb, Sony’s MRD-NC500D check in at simply just over 1.5 lbs. The case is 3 inches thick with bulk that actually surpasses the Bose package by only one inch. Of course, there’s more packed in the Sony bag: an AC-power charging cable with a mini-brick plug and an alternate two-AAA electric battery bag to power the headsets whenever the built-in rechargeable batteries have absolutely no power remaining. The Bose QuietComfort headsets features a gentle foam which fits on top of the ears although the Sony set around your ears, not putting any pressure on any of them. Comfort, obviously, is very subjective, however right after wearing each for more than an hour, all of us actually preferred the softness and materials of the Bose quite more.

Does electronic digital make a big difference? Sure it does make it possible for customizing noise-cancelling based on the “noise” surrouding  you, but the analogue Bose still does the work very well, too. Obivously, in the end it is whether you want your music to sound digital cool or analog warm. Make sure you check out the Sony wireless headphones range too!
