Advantages: good sound quality, value for money, comfortable, range of colours Disadvantages: none that i can think of
Compatible with all types of Mp3 and Ipod these headphones are fantastic, they also come in a range of colours to match your Mp3 so that they look stylish and modern. Specially designed to block out all surrounding noise, these headphones allow you to listen to music without any disturbance and the spongey tips mean that they fit comfortably in your ears and decreases the chances of them falling out time and time again like many headphone sets. At between £12 and £17.65 they are great value for money. I found that they improved the quality of music I was listening to by diminishing all background noise that can often make it difficult to hear the music well. The fact that surrounding noise was blocked out also means that I no longer have to turn up the volume which can be damaging to the ear. ...
This type of phone is much heavier and larger than the intra-ear. Still, the MDR-NC6 is comfortable and not hurt the ears - only with prolonged use is perceived discomfort. To enable the function antirruído, you must use an AAA battery. The product comes with adapters for stereo and mono inputs (used in aircraft, for example).
This shell type phone has the ability to antirruído, isolating the external ear of the sound - hence, the music can be heard on low volumes. Normally, this is good for those who hear the iPod on the subway. But the model of Sony is more for you to use at home even without being bothered with the chat to other people =D
So if you like great music and quality of song you must have one! ...

Manufacturer's product description
This Sony MDR-DS5100 Advanced Headphone System with DTS Digital Surround Sound incorporates Sony VPT Virtual Phones Technology with advanced level 125MIPS (125 million instructions per second) Logic 3D Processor for richer and more natural "live" sound quality, with "weightier" more substantial bass sounds to enhance the sense of live presence. Built in Dolby Digital, Dolby Surround, and DTS Virtual 5.1 Decoders reproduce all popular surround sound systems including state of the art 5.1 channel sound as well as Digital Theater Systems surround sound. Decode-Mode Indicator on Front Panel visually indicates when the system is in Dolby Digital, Dolby Surround, or DTS mode, and provides a stylized representation of the virtual speaker placement relative to the listener, for each mode. Built in Dolby Pro Logic Decoder unlocks the Surround Sound tracks often included in VHS Hi-Fi, stereo TV, and other traditional sources to provide the maximum "live" entertainment experience available. Optical Digital Input allows use with Dolby Digital and PCM audio. Gold Plated Analog Input is provided for noise-free Dolby stereo and pure stereo sources. Fifth Order Delta/Sigma A/D Converter uses 64X oversampling for high precision. Multi-Level Delta/Sigma D/A Converter achieves 18 bit resolution. SILMIC Electrolytic Capacitors are provided in the analog stage, for more natural sound. 35µm Copper Board Traces are twice as thick as conventional designs, for higher conductivity. Enhanced Headphone Jack with Volume Control can be optimized to take full advantage of the audio characteristics of Sony MDR F-1 full open air-type headphones. The jack is easily accessible on the front panel for use with any optional corded stereo headphones. Unique Open Air Headphones with open air acoustic circuit provides greater wearing comfort even over extended listening sessions. Cordless Design lets you sit anywhere, even move around (within range of the transmitter) and still enjoy ideal surround sound. High Power Infrared Transmitter has separate FM carriers for wide bandwidth, high channel separation. 33 Foot Transmission Range offers full listening enjoyment throughout the room or listening area, and allows you to sit where you are most comfortable while maintaining a sense of live presence. 90° Transmission Angle (maximum) further enhances your ability to enjoy uninterrupted surround sound listening without pinning you down to one spot. Oversized 40mm Diameter Drive Units are larger than most headphones, for noticeably deeper bass sounds. Neodymium Magnets pack more magnetic energy per ounce than conventional ferrite, samarium cobalt or aluminum magnets. Self-Adjusting Headband conforms precisely to the shape of your head for a comfortable fit even after listening for hours on end. The complete kit includes high-powered transmitter, headphones, AC power adaptor, battery charger, Ni-Cad rechargeable batteries, and optical connecting cable.
