72 out of 100 medium confidence 12 reviews
These Sony noise-cancelling headphones are praised for their great value at a low price, effectively blocking background noise in offices and on planes. However, some users report that the noise cancellation is finicky and requires precise positioning, and a few complain about poor sound quality or missing features like a microphone. Overall, most buyers find them comfortable and durable for the cost.
