My first one was the mdr nc11. It was good but hopelessly unreliable and the oversized bud didnt help at all. the 2nd was nc22 which is better but i hate the box design as it's to heavy to be left unhooked. So i got the NC32x which is essentially the same but smaller switch with lanyard design so the battery is located on the back of my neck (which makes it really light). It is also a perfect match with my walkman s2 mp3.

I also like the fact that it can filter airplanes engines really well but as soon as someone speaks to me near my ear, the NC32 mic on the earpiece make the person voice clearer while suppressing the engine noise, I dont have to remove the earpiece to listen to anyone which is a huge plus to me as i hate taking shifting or removing in-ear phones once i'm comfortable with it.]]>Jun 8th 2009 10:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/sony-introduces-mdr-nc300d-noise-canceling-headphones/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/sony-introduces-mdr-nc300d-noise-canceling-headphones/]]>Jun 8th 2009 2:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/sony-introduces-mdr-nc300d-noise-canceling-headphones/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/sony-introduces-mdr-nc300d-noise-canceling-headphones/Jun 8th 2009 2:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/sony-introduces-mdr-nc300d-noise-canceling-headphones/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/sony-introduces-mdr-nc300d-noise-canceling-headphones/

Stealth microphones - looks like you're just listening to tunes but you can secretly record too! (In fact, the recording probably could work at the same time as you listening to tunes... of course for that it would need a music-cancelling ability for the record function too...)

And being situated at the ear, they should provide good stereo separation too...

Unfortunately back in reality I imagine the microphones are presumably crap and only just good enough to record jet engine noise :) But still.]]>Jun 8th 2009 7:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/sony-introduces-mdr-nc300d-noise-canceling-headphones/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/sony-introduces-mdr-nc300d-noise-canceling-headphones/

I really like the look of the headphones, but unfortunately, I cannot afford them. Nor can I justify $300 to $400 earbuds, noise or not. Not yet anyway.]]>Jun 8th 2009 8:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/sony-introduces-mdr-nc300d-noise-canceling-headphones/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/sony-introduces-mdr-nc300d-noise-canceling-headphones/Jun 8th 2009 2:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/sony-introduces-mdr-nc300d-noise-canceling-headphones/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/sony-introduces-mdr-nc300d-noise-canceling-headphones/Jun 8th 2009 2:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/sony-introduces-mdr-nc300d-noise-canceling-headphones/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/sony-introduces-mdr-nc300d-noise-canceling-headphones/Jun 8th 2009 2:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/sony-introduces-mdr-nc300d-noise-canceling-headphones/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/sony-introduces-mdr-nc300d-noise-canceling-headphones/Jun 8th 2009 2:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/sony-introduces-mdr-nc300d-noise-canceling-headphones/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/sony-introduces-mdr-nc300d-noise-canceling-headphones/
The new Nokia headphones with 8 mics and bluetooth look interesting. The price scares me though!]]>Jun 8th 2009 3:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/sony-introduces-mdr-nc300d-noise-canceling-headphones/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/sony-introduces-mdr-nc300d-noise-canceling-headphones/I'm not going to spend that much on something that I'm not sure how much better it is from its competitive.

So I imagine for this price they must be even better and sony is still the most advanced company when it comes to hardware thats cutting edge... (even though there software and marketing sucks).]]>Jun 8th 2009 3:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/sony-introduces-mdr-nc300d-noise-canceling-headphones/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/sony-introduces-mdr-nc300d-noise-canceling-headphones/
In case you understand Japanese, Sony explains how the MDR-NC300D works and more (spec, pricing, etc)...

This baby has the digital noise cancelation built into the unit and can accept Line-Inputs for external audio (like the onboard multimediasystem in airplanes), too!

And it's cheaper than the standalone headphones.
