Noise Canceling Headphones

[SpankingVanillaice]

I just got the Sony MDR-NC6 headphones but does this headphone really cancel the sound well? I needed headphones that will cancel sound and when the power is off then I can hear everything around me.

Here's a link to their description. read it carefully, very carefully. ...and try to comprehend what all those words mean when used together. take your time. Use a dictionary if needed.

didja notice this part in particular?

"Reduce ambient noise, and provide a quieter environment to enhance audio entertainment. Ambient sound is synthesized with an anti-sound signal produced by the noise canceling circuit, and reduced (Over 10dB is reduced at 300Hz)"

How about this part? Did you understand this?

"Operates as Passive Headphones When noise canceling circuit is not activated"

Well then, don't turn off the power to the noise cancelling circuitry. D'oh!
