Sony MDR-10RNC - Pros & Cons

this headphone is excellent
feel light and comfortable throughout long listening sessions
chances are most tracks will sound fine
Everything ends up pretty nicely balanced
decent looking
fairly well built
the MDR-10RNCs are fantastic

the sound will be a bit flat in the passive mode
you will have a switch on the left side of the headphone
that the cancellation is weak
there is no auto shutdown of the noise canceling feature
Vocals are a tad weak on these cans
the earphones are pressing down on the ear for a long duration
The single button on the in-line remote is extremely limited
extremely high price
AAA battery rather than a rechargeable option with a cable is regrettable
The track sounds overly weighted towards the lows and low-mids
the bass is overly-boosted
One cable has no phone controls
have preferred just a tad less treble
sound quality is only average
the piano and bass get a little muddled
Bose dropped it noticeably more
neutral a sound
Highs are also a bit lackluster
Sony cut too many corners in the audio department
lack of an inline volume control is also a questionable design
The inline controller is a little disappointing

The Sony MDR-10RNC noise-cancelling headphones eliminate much of the ambient noise around you, but their audio performance isn't quite on par with the competition.

Very good noise cancellation and comfort may be plenty for many users, though we do wish these cans sounded better.

Sony's MDR-10RNC headphones are comfy and cancel ambient noise well, but they don't sound quite as good as they should for the price.
