Sony MDR-NC7 Noise Cancelling Headphones

Noise cancellation headphones should be cheaper, and this Sony model is setting an example, though there are drawbacks.

We have not done a headphone review for a while, and personally I had begun to miss them. Then like a child who receives his first birthday gift, I got my grubby hands on the Sony MDR-NC7 noise cancellation headphones, and one thing I can say about Sony headphones after umpteen reviews is, these guys do not fail to impress in at least some aspects.Design and Features

The unit comes packed in neatly, all folded up in brown cardboard. The colors available are black and white - we received the latter. The body was a milky white, with silver accenting in the form of a blocklike strip on each earcup. The ear pads are quite different from regular ones, it is a supraaural type though with large pads like circumaurals, and completely covered with thin black leatherette material and small foam in the center. After prolonged usage there are chances of this stuff peeling off, it always does in all headphone brands.
