Reducing up to 99% of ambient noise from airplanes, trains, or at the office, the MDR-NC500D headphones have ground breaking new digital signal processing technology suitable for an optimal listening environment. Enjoy features that include three distinct noise canceling modes, artifical intelligence function that automatically selects the optimal mode, a digital equalizer that ensures high-grade audio without sacrificing the noise canceling effectiveness, and a lightweight design that offers premium comfort.
Noise Canceling Technology
Enjoy music in a quieter environment with MDR-NC500D's noise canceling technology that reduces ambient noise to enhance your audio entertainment. The headphones have an inside microphone on each earpiece that work with an electronic circuitry to create an opposite sound wave to reduce wave. It reduces up to 99% ambient noise when the noise canceling circuit is switched on. Perfect for loud and noisy environments such as planes, trains, buses, work or dorms.
Synthesizing with a sound in the opposite phase for ambient sound reduction
Digital Equalizer
Experience high-quality music reproduction and ideal frequencey response with the MDR-NC500D. It delivers a high S/N ratio that is achieved through digital signal processing.
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Experience noise canceling optimization with Artificial Intelligence. Because not all ambient noise is the same, the Artificial Intelligence technology will automatically select the optimal noise canceling mode based on intelligent analysis of environmental ambient noise.

Forgot to bring my noise canceling headphones on a recent trip and decided to pick up a pair of those on the return leg.
The built quality is very good, it comes with a nice (but quite large) case and a full set of cables and adapters.
Although I'm skeptical about the claimed 99% reduction in noise levels I must admit that the noise canceling is very efficient, it's far better than that of any other headset I've tried.
They're comfortable to wear for extended periods of time and the internal battery easily lasts for a full flight. A nice touch is that it also works with AA batteries should you forget to charge the internal battery.
My only complaint is the size of the case, it's much to big. Other than that those headphones are great and I'd recommend them to anyone with a bit of extra space in their carry on....

I bought these headphones after trying them out at Narita airport in Tokyo earlier this year. I didn't have time to charge the internal battery before the flight, so I used AA batteries in the included adapter cable. That was the only time that I used the external battery. I've logged about 75,000 air miles using these headphones without a single problem.
The noise reduction is excellent, and the headphones are quite comfortable. The digital technology allows the user to adapt the noise reduction curve to the ambient conditions.
Yesterday I swapped headphones with a friend while riding in the back of a Canadair regional jet between San Francisco and Albuquerque. Those of you who have ridden in that section of this aircraft know that it's one of the noisiest rides around. I found that I could barely hear my iPod with his noise-canceling phones, while listening was easy and enjoyable with the Sony digitals.
Since they're digital, the phones are thicker than other brands. That's not a big problem for me. However, the huge case is a problem and doesn't fit easily in my briefcase, so I've started carrying the headphones in a stuff sack with another sack for the charger and other accessories. Everything now fits fine in my briefcase and carry-on....

I have used the QC3 since the product was released. But reviews of the Sony digital headset compelled me to try them. I'm a person who loves emerging technology; no emotional attachment to Bose. I just returned the Sony set after a direct comparison between the two. The key differentiators: quality of sound, especially bass; comfort; noise cancellation; size. The overriding differentiator was quality of sound. Second was comfort. Bose was "clearly better." The Bose QC3's are smaller, and fit into a smaller laptop briefcase when the Sony will not. Key issue for a traveler on the move....
