pretty poor in my view
I bought these headphones 2 days ago for a flight from england to australia. I'm so disappointed with the sound and the NC that i had to log on and add to the surprisingly small number of 1 star reviews.
NC is barely noticable beyond noise already cut out by the bud design.
As soon as i got home i compared them with my other headphones. NC headphones obviously aren't as good as the non NC equivalents (Ive found out from reviews that this appears to be common knowledge) but i'd expect the sound to be better than my 5 year old ipod headphones which i found - they're rubbish in comparison.
Compare them to my iphone headphones and the mdrnc22s are shown up even more.
As a massive sony fan I'm gutted (mainly coz i can't send them back without flying back to england).

Good Enough
The headphones work great for canceling out the sound. I have not owned a lot of noise canceling head phones but these seem to do the trick for me. One problem I do have with them is that they do not seem to stay in the ear very well. They seem to be a little heavier ear bud then most I have owned.

Worked great!
I received it just before my trip, so I tested it on my Southwest flights. Southwest, for me, tends to have the loudest noises, always giving me a headache afterwards. The earphones fit perfectly - they do provide different sizes but the default one worked for me - and canceled out the plane noise, and for the first time, I didn't suffer from a headache. Also, it's lightweight and easier to carry compared to the headphone versions. Great performance for the price.

Works great and is better than most twice it's price
I'm been using this a few weeks now and loving it. I would have given it a 5/5, but the battery life could be a bit better and the battery case itself weighs the unit down and pulls it out of your ears. I use it sitting at a desk though so it's perfect most of the time.

Great Fit, but...
I was extremely disappointed when I recently lost my MDR NC11's that i had been using for the better part of 4 years. I thought that they really blocked out a large amount of outside noise, but the fit wasn't the greatest as they would fall out of my ears pretty often (I used the largest earpieces available). I searched in vain all over the 'net and finally ended my search by contacting Sony. The agent offered to sell me a refurbished pair of the NC22's for about the same price that Amazon was offering for a NEW pair. When I received the NC22's I really liked that the noise cancelling module had been updated into a more compact unit. The fit and style of earpieces has been tremendously improved. However, the NC22's are lacking the volume controls found on the NC11's. Which brings me to my only real gripe about the NC22's. While riding on the city bus, I could actually hear some of the conversations of the other passengers with the volume at the midpoint. That never happened with my NC11's!! I would recommend these headphones to anyone, but they must understand that the NC22's will not block out all noise.
