Customer Reviews:
A real sleep aid.......2007-10-17
I bought a set of Soundshield 501s at the airport prior to an overnight flight to London and they were selling off the last pair so I paid under $100. I was able to try them first, not just for fit but how they sounded. I'm a novice with these things but I was impressed with the noise reduction which is most effective when the power unit is turned on! The sound quality from my ipod was also very good and I much prefer these to the in-ear phones. They are a little bulky and if you're lucky enough to get space to lay down then they're not all that comfortable, but I don't expect anything to be comfortable. The noise reduction was so effective that I got a significant amount of sleep and required shaking if the cabin crew wanted to talk to me! I then worre them on a bus from Heathrow and promtly fell asleep on there too! If there's one thing that bothered me it was the slightly bulky control unit which requires 2 x AAA batteries. I found this useful, however for controlling volume and a useful 'mute' button to allow conversation.
Excellent Comfort.......2007-09-17
I've tried multiple noise canceling headphones over the years and this is the first pair I can actually wear for flights of ten hours or longer that does not hurt my ears. The comfort is simply amazing. The ear cups are large enough that they don't press on the ear nearly as much as comparable devices. The volume control feature is also a boon. This is a GREAT feature because it enables people like myself to keep the In Flight Entertainment volume as low as possible while still enjoying a movie or music. The Bose headphones simply made the sound so audible that it hurt my ears to listen, and I don't have this problem at all with the Soundshield 501's. The noise cancellation could be better though. But overall a great set of headphones.
Comparison of Sony MDRNC11A vs Bose QC2 vs Brookstone Soundshield 501.......2007-01-09
My primary purpose for noise canceling headphones is to cancel airplane noise. I fly over 50k miles/year and find noise canceling to be effective at reducing jet lag. Noise canceling headphones have the added benefit of allowing much better reproduction of on-board movie and mp-3 player audio at a much lower volume requirement.
I have owned and will compare Sony MDRNC10, Sony MDRNC11A vs Bose QC2 vs Brookstone Soundshield 501.
I will compare the 3 headphones still available based upon my 3 major criteria in order of priority:
1) Noise Canceling Effectiveness
2) Comfort
3) Audio Quality
By far, the most important criteria to me is noise canceling effectiveness on an airplane. Price is not a factor for this purchase due to the value of the product to me.
The first NC headphones I owned were the discontinued Sony MDRNC10's. These were VERY effective at noise canceling, they however would not stay in my ears (small canals) for very long. I was constantly having to screw them back deep into my skull during the flight. They also would become uncomfortable during long flights. When I lost them in 2003, I decided to purchase the much hyped Bose QC2's. I decided to switch in order to avoid the poor fit/comfort of the in canal type.
Bose QC2's:
1) Noise Canceling: Worst
2) Comfort: Best
3) Audio Quality: Worst
I owned and used the Bose for 3 years during well over 100 flights.
Noise Canceling: Noise canceling was not near as effective as the Sony MDR-NC11A's, or the Brookstone Soundshield 501s. I would estimate about 50% of noise was cancelled.
Comfort: Very comfortable to wear. Lightweight, no sweating.
Audio Quality: Acceptable, but not as good as the Sony or Brookstone's.
Brookstone Soundshield 501
1) Noise Canceling: Middle
2) Comfort: Worst
3) Audio Quality: Best
After also losing my Bose QC2's, I decided to look for something better. My first inclination was to go back to the Sony's. Especially since they now offer 3 sizes of earpieces to help acheive proper fit (my only problem with the original NC10's). The Sony's cannot be returned due to in-ear design, and the Brookstone's seemed impressive in the store. So, I decided to first try the Soundshield 501's. I owned them for 3 weeks and 5 flights before returning them.
Noise Canceling: Very effective. Significantly better than Bose. Not as good as Sony.
Comfort: Not very comfortable. Both the headband and earcups produced discomfort. Least comfortable of any model tested.
Audio Quality: Very good. Best of models tested.
Sony MDR-NC11A
1) Noise Canceling: Best
2) Comfort: Middle
3) Audio Quality: Middle
I exchanged the Soundshield 501's for the Sony's. I have now owned them for 3 weeks and 8 flights. One important factor I have not included until now is the portability of the products. For me, traveling light is also important. The Sony's have a much smaller storage envelope and can even fit in your pocket. This is valuable for travel. I would be willing to lug around a larger package to get better noise canceling, so I did not include it as a factor until now.
Noise Canceling: Very effective. In another league beyond Bose. Significantly better than Brookstone. They do produce an audible hiss when the NC circuitry is turned on. This is annoying, but is still less noise than the other 2 models failed to cancel.
Comfort: OK. The choice of earbud sizes has really helped. The small work well for me. They do not work their way loose as the NC10's did. They are also more comfortable while wearing. Still some discomfort in the canal is noticed. Overall, the Bose are a bit more comfortable. The Sony's do have the benefit of not messing up your hair before your meeting.
Audio Quality: Very good. Much better than Bose. Very close to Brookstone.
Bottom line: After trying the models mentioned above, I still have not found the perfect product. I definately prefer the Sony's. If Sony can eliminate the hissing, then they would be perfect.
