There's nothing quite like pure audio sound
When pure sound is all you want to hear, noise-cancellation is what the Sony MDR-NC500D does best. The world's first headphones to use digital feedback noise-canceling technology, the microphone is placed near the ear for pristine quality audio. Older "feed-forward" technology placed the microphone on the outside of the earcup causing headphones to guess at what a sound will be once it reaches the ear. The precision of digital feedback allows headphones to accurately assess, then cancel, unwanted ambient and background noise for incredible noise reduction capability.
Three frequency modes allow superior sound canceling
Sony MDRNC500D digital noise-canceling headphones use digital equalizer driven by Artificial Intelligence software to cancel up to 99% ambient noise and minimize stress on eardrums. Smart software also enables headphones to assess and adjusts to a variety of sound environments in three modes: Airplane, Bus/Train, and Office - each of which may require adjustments in frequency response to achieve noise-canceling. Manual monitor switch allows surrounding sounds to be heard on command.
Crisp sound at any range
Quality digital audio technology from Sony means the MDR-NC500D produces rich bass and crisp mid- and high-range sound.
