Bose Vs Sony Noice Cancellation Shootout

Review aus Costoc.com member :

(Akio Morita's turning in his grave)

Model Number: Sony MDR-10RDC
"Sony MDR-10RDC Premium Noise Canceling Headphones
Pros:
crisp sound very balanced throughout the frequency spectrum.
Fold nicely to fit in protective case
Cons:
they are never silent. The noise canceling feature requires a small amount of white noise which cannot be turned off (and they cannot be used without the noise canceling feature active).
The on/off switch is recessed and impossible to feel without taking them off and looking.
Very easy to take off without turning the noise canceling feature off, which drains the batteries. It seems like they would have an intelligent power off where if no sound is detected coming through the cable, turn the headphones off after 15 minutes.
Remarkably sensitive to unwanted radio signals in the area.
The manual seems to be the product of clumsy automated translation."
