Great sound and noise reduction.

Design defect that keeps killing one channel. Customer service (somewhere out of the country- surprise, surprise!)

These headphoes sound great and really do a good job of cancelling outside noise WHEN they work, which, unfortunately, is not for very long. I purchased these in March, the left channel died in June. Sony replaced them with a refurb set and the same problem developed 3 months later. They are now out of warranty and Sony will GRACIOUSLY replace them again for $24. Don't think so! Customer service was useless; he did sympathize with me, but that was all. What a warm and fuzzy feeling I got! I will never buy another Sony product; you shouldn't waste your money on these earphones.

While pricey, these are great! The sound is awesome and the noicse cancelling does it job. I work in a cubicle environment that can get noisy with hectic deadlines. These headphones with my minidisc player and tunes help me keep my sanity!
