Bought at a discount
MDR-ZX110NC 18 November 2020 by Timmy two dads (USA)
This product is regularly discounted and is entry level quality for noise cancelling headphones. I estimate background noise is reduced by 45% a good portion of this is due to putting them on in the off position. Having a vinyl type surface these phones make my ears hot. The sound fidelity is mediocre.

My Go-To Budget Headphones
MDR-ZX110NC 03 September 2020 by theandroidguy (USA)
This pair of headphones that I have are good. And I say good for only one reason- the build quality. The build quality of this pair of headphones I have has not held up the best. But for just under 30 US dollars, these headphones are EXCELLENT! The sound quality is like none other for the price, and when you switch on the headphones, (which do work without switching them on) the quality has substantially improved and comes a punchy (but not too punchy) bass, good clear mid-tones, and crisp high tones. On the flip side, the noise-canceling is ok, not great, but when you turn up the volume, then you can start to tell there IS noise canceling. The headphones are SUPER light thanks to the all-cheap-plastic design, and the ear cups aren't bad, and I can wear these while doing homework, or filling out work stuff. I have owned these for 4 years now, and have gotten their use out of them. The battery cover has broken, and the battery is being held in by a piece of tape. There are over a billion scratches and one of the joints in the cheap-plastic band is broken. But surprisingly, these have been knocked around, and are still in working condition. Am I going to buy another pair? Probably. No, yes. Yes, I am.

i'm from sri lanka and i recieved this as a gift and it was good.(actually, average) i didn't have any idea about what is noice cancellation feature but i realized that when i use it with a battery, there's a tiny bit enhacement in sound quality. and then, as most reviewers say, after nearly an one month, the outer skin of the earpads began to fall off in flakes. (didn't even used more than 3 or 4 hours within the whole time) i have searched for the replacement parts but didn't found anywhere in my country.

MDR-ZX110NC 01 July 2020 by pessimusdiscipulus (USA)
I got these as a holdover before investing in around-ear NC headphones and was very pleased. Music and video sound comes through crystal clear and is excellent. The noise cancelling part is good for what the product is. It isn't to going to give you pin-drop silence, but it really isolates sound well. They grip tight, so beware if you have a big head. I've been using them for about a year now and they haven't broken. I don't think the batteries last the full 80 hours since the light stays green even though the sound doesn't come through as well. Turning on the NC with the switch turns the drivers on inside the headphones so it makes the sound really loud and clear. These are very loud headphones. The only gripe is that there is a little crackling noise in the earcups that gets pretty loud when you're adjusting them on your head (hence the 4 stars for design). To be clear this is not the result of an electronics problem, but seems to be some material inside the headphone cup. The cable is sturdy. Also, if you're going to wear them walking around on a windy day, it's impossible to hear anything except the wind which gets magnified inside the headphones. So you can use them for working out, but beware that you might only be able to hear the wind. Overall, really good!

Noise Cancelling no more
MDR-ZX110NC 08 June 2020 by Blue Power Ranger (USA)
I received these headphones as a gift. Without the noise cancelling feature turned on, they're pretty cr@p headphones. (Turned on however, they're pretty good headphones!) After a few months of continuous use, like other reviewers have said, the noise cancelling feature doesn't work anymore. I'll turn on the noise cancelling feature, it will work for about 5 minutes or less, and then cut out. Overall very disappointed.

I just bought this product today and I'm glad I did. I paid $49.99 for them, and for the 50 dollar price range these are about the best you can get. They come with a 1 year warranty which is great, and the noise cancelling feature is excellent for the price range. The sound quality is excellent. There's not much to dislike about this pair of headphones, they're great all around. I would recommend these headphones.

MDR-ZX110NC 03 June 2020 by musicbox1965 (USA)
I had loaned my daugter an older set of noise cancelling headphones which never got returned and saw this set on sale at Target. I figured, well for the money, It's a great price. Got them out of the box and turned the NC on and wasn't bad. The thing that really blew my mind was the sound of these little phones. They play solid, loud, clear and good tight bass making these almost perfect. Also they are great for younger kids as they are a bit smaller and won't keep falling off. I was so amazed after comparing to other headphones I have that cost double the price that I started using these all the time. they wear well and comfortable on the ears after long listening periods. I highly recommend these if you are looking for a good set of phones that are affordable. Sony has alays made the best products. Do yourself a favor and check these out before you shell out big money on other brands.

"Noise Cancelling" is required for sound quality
MDR-ZX110NC 27 November 2019 by t3hbeowulf (USA)
The sound quality only becomes adequate if the noise cancellation is enabled. If you turn off noise cancelling or the battery dies, the passive sound quality falls off a cliff. With active noise cancelling on, sound is clear with heavy emphasis on mid-bass and treble. With noise cancelling turned off, treble is gone, bass is gone. The sound reverts to a muffled, flat echo.

Flaw with Fitting Ear Cups
MDR-ZX110NC 07 May 2019 by jgibson (USA)
Had these for a while, but one of the war cups just came off and I can’t even fit the eat cups on at this point, and there are no guides online or pages in these from Sony because these headphones, to me, are basically unheard of, so I’m left with just a still somewhat functional pair of noise canceling headphones that are so frustrating to put the ear cups back on (which I’ve tried to no avail), that I give up on these until I get some assistance with them.

I purchased these at the airport a couple of weeks ago for a long international flight. They worked well on the outbound flight, but were nearly unusable on the return.

Good headphones for the price but...
MDR-ZX110NC 20 April 2019 by John765 (USA)
I bought these headphones at an airport for $40 and I was really happy with the quality for such a low price. I had forgotten my headphones at my house and didn’t want to invest in expensive headphones. I wrote this review to explain that Sony makes good headphones. Although I wouldn’t recommend these to someone looking for an amazing headphones I would say that these could be the best headphones for this price. I think equalizer is at a nice spot and the comfort level is good but noise canceling is way out of the game. You will hardly notice it. But that doesn’t change my opinion about the product because for the price noise canceling would be to much. To wrap it up if you want cheap, reliable, and accurate value headphones, buy these.

Ear pads failed quickly
MDR-ZX110NC 21 January 2019 by Jean35 (USA)
Bought these at an airport-paid a little extra for the convenience. Work pretty good at noise canceling when my husband follows the directions. However, the covering on the ear pads started peeling off about the third flight and left unsightly black flecks everywhere until we peeled the rest off. Replacing the pads costs more than 1/2 of a new set. I think this is a manufacturing or design defect and Sony should stand behind the product even if it is out of warranty.

Bad to decent sound, bad "noise canceling"
MDR-ZX110NC 10 December 2018 by rat boy (USA)
These "noise canceling" headphones really don't cancel any noise at all. There is an on-off switch that turns the noise canceling feature on and off, but when it is turned off, they just sound like cheap earbuds, and when it is turned on, they just sound like slightly better earbuds. No noise canceling involved. As for the sound, it's okay. It's fair for the price, although the bass starts buzzing like crazy at random times, and it is extremely annoying.

MDRZX110NC 09 December 2018 by Davensocal (USA) Verified Purchaser Verified
Purchased these at an airport with the hopes they would do better than my existing earbuds (without noise cancellation). The headphones turn on (power light is on), and there might be a little noise cancellation occurring, but it is so minor that you have to take the headphones off and put them back on to tell if there is a difference, and even then it is tough to say. I have had great support from Sony in the past, I hope they stand behind these as well.

Best bang-for-your-buck noise cancelling headphone
MDR-ZX110NC 18 July 2018 by Kolyei (USA)
You can't get any better than this in terms of noise cancelling for the value of money that you pay. Just one triple a battery easily lasts you up to 4-5 days of long use out of these (which is something I praise sony for, it's excellent battery life). Noise cancelling is great for blocking background noise like fan noise, it also reduces human conversations by a lot. The bad points that aren't really deal breakers, but they are some gripes that I have with the headphones. These are on-the-ear headphones. They are comfortable to wear for a short period of time. After an hour or so of wearing them, they get a bit uncomfortable to use. Also, noise-cancelling headphones are very sensitive to wind. Not something that can be improved since all noise-cancelling headphones are affected by this. Will buy these again whenever my current pair breaks (had them for over 2 years without any issues whatsoever)

We liked Sony MDR-XB550 headphones, so returned to the same store we purchased them from to obtain additional. No longer stocked, these MDR-ZX110NC seemed the closest to what we were seeking. We were seeking 1) Wired and 2) 1/8 inch connector. Getting them home and opening the package, then I discover batteries are required!

Moderately priced with good features
MDR-ZX110NC 05 November 2017 by timbereman (USA)
This is my first set of noise-cancelling headphones. I purchased them because I have always been happy with all Sony headphones I have ever owned. The frequency response is better than I expected. The degree of noise-canceling is a bit less than what I was hoping they would have. There is a good level of isolation from surrounding noise. I particularly like how well they work when I am pushing my lawn mower. I can hear the music with no problem now without having to drive the sound level very high. One nice 'side-effect' is when the noise-canceling feature is turned on it seems like significant amplification occurs of the audio. The improvement in frequency response is very noticeable.

MDR-ZX110NC 07 October 2017 by ethanwwm (USA)
Bought this about a month ago. The quality is pretty finnicky (plastic build), possibly because its one of Sony's cheapest headphone but still. Sound quality itself was pretty good actually, so that was a plus. What really let me down was the noise-cancellation. It was actually really weak. I have used Sony's slightly higher tier ones and they're really good at cancelling noise out. I guess these headphones would be good for cancelling out noises like the roar from airplane engines (eg. while flying) or maybe the air conditioners sound, but not TV sounds, etc. Summary: Cheap build quality, good sound, low-average noise-cancellation

These headphones are amazing, clear, lightweight, mobile, and overall an awesome choice for the price. Best enjoyed with high volume and great for electronic music, very balanced. But I wished that the headphones had an integrated battery that you could charge with a brand charger so it would be easy to replaced like an Android charger. But overall I have to say these are great headphones and you can use them without a AAA battery but it doesn't sound nearly as good when powered. If you are a basshead, these are not a good pick. But instead of being good in one area, it does well in others. It is incredibly balanced in general and I was recommended by a friend. Thanks.

I picked up my headphones at the airport on the way out of town. Looking here, I see I was overcharged for them, but I'm making really good use of them at work so I don't mind too much. The headphones were excellent for cancelling out the noise of my fellow travelers both on the flight up and the drive back home with my family (have you ever listened to a 13 year old and 16 year old sibling pair fight?). The only thing I'm disappointed in is that my right cover came off and I can't find a place to pick up a new one. I love them, but it's not worth buying a whole new pair to get one part.

Very weak noise cancelation
MDRZX110NC 03 August 2015 by sdmark (USA)
I live near an airport and wanted something to block the loud, low throbbing noise of planes taking off. I tried a pair of Bose Quiet Comfort 15 headphones that belong to a friend and was blown away by the cone of silence they create in active noise-cancellation mode, so I know this kind of noise _can_ be blocked with the proper technology. I hoped to find something more reasonable that would do a decent job, and I thought something from Sony would be a good bet. Unfortunately, these headphones are almost useless in canceling noise. Turning the switch off and on while an airplane is overhead, I could just barely hear a tiny difference--maybe 10%, not the 95% claimed in the description.I'll be returning these.
Hello sdmark! Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with this set of headphones, it is unfortunate that the unit didn't meet your expectations and that they will be returned instead, we do however would like to mention that the actual performance when it comes to the noise cancelling feature varies based on settings, environmental conditions, and usage, so please try the steps we would like to suggest by the following the next link if you still have the unit available.

MDRZX110NC 07 July 2015 by FrogTom (USA)
Just got these SONY MDR-ZX110NC head phones... They do not cancel sound at all... A complete waste of money... I wonder why SONY markets these head phones as Noise Canceling...
Hi FrogTom, we always appreciate customers who take the time to give us their feedback. The noise canceling function is effective in low frequency ranges such as airplanes, trains, or offices (near air-conditioning, etc.) and is not as effective for higher frequencies, such as human voices. In addition, the noise canceling effect may vary depending on how you wear the headphones. Please make sure to turn on the unit, there's a switch on the right side of pad.
Comfortable Headset, NC not to effective

NC headset is comfortable through out the flight. If only the noise cancelling was more effective. It says 95% noise cancellation, but sounds like 25%. For the price you can find other similar sets that are almost true to their advertise at lesser price.
Hello JetsetGo! Thank you for sharing your feedback with us, we recommend to try the steps available through the following link to improve the noise canceling feature:

Sony Noise-Conceling Headphones
MDRZX110NC 16 June 2015 by educators4 (USA)
We purchased 14 of them for our computer education for many employees and they worked great. The employees couldn't hear us when we tried to get their attention and were startled when we tapped them on the shoulder. ONE QUESTION: Since we will have many people using them, we want to keep them sanitary. What is the best way to clean them without damaging the soft ear pads please? THANKS
Hello educators4! Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We recommend to try using a dry cloth to clean the headphones and if there are any dirty foreign objects attached to the portion from which the sound comes out use an air blower to remove the dirt.
nice headphones

The sound quality is very good, the comfort is great, and the overall value is excellent. I would recommend to a friend for sure. The noise canceling has been effective so far.
Not what I thought they were

I returned them because they did not cancel out like the previous Sony headphones I had. I returned the product for a refund
hI Nicky40, It is unfortunate that the headphones had to be returned and we value your feedback about this concern. Thanks,
Very effective and useful product

A great improvement on Sony's older Noise Cancellation device. This one indicated a 95% cancellation capability -- full marks for NO Exaggeration! Thanks. Was able to sleep soundly for the very first time on a noisy commercial airliner in economy class!
