(More customer reviews)I purchased the Sony MDR NC300D about a month ago. I recently flew to London on an American Airlines Boeing 767 and had a chance to try them out. I also was offered a Bose Quiet Comfort 15 headset as I was sitting in business class.
I compared the Sony headphones to the Bose several times. For the most part, I thought the noise canceling was about equal. If I put the Sony ear buds into my ear loosely, the Bose might seem slightly quieter. If I put the ear buds in snugly, the Sony headphones seemed a bit quieter. The quality of the sound from the movie was watching seemed pretty close. One nice feature with the Sony, is you can calibrate the noise canceling though an adjustment system.
The only complaint I have with the Sony headphones is they are very prone to tangling. Also, the Sony has 3 different mode of noise canceling, depending on what type of noise environment you are in. Occasionally, it seemed to get confused, switching from Mode A to B or C. I was able to hear when this happened and it was a little annoying.
While at the airport, I briefly demo'd a Sony MDR NC-500D headphone and it seemed very similar in noise canceling to the NC-300D. I didn't have them plugged in, so I could not compare the audio. I also have an older pair of Bose noise canceling head sets and the Sony is much better.
Overall, I think the Sony NC300D is a very fine product. They are much smaller than the Bose, very portable. The battery lasts about 15 hours as advertised.
