I got these a while back from an authorized dealer for $179, likely still available if you check the biggest online retailer. Said used like new but they were new in box, with the box having very minor dents (size of a grain of rice) in the corners. As for sound, exactly like the non NC MSR7. I've used them on 1 plane ride so far, the noise cancelling works great. It's not up to the best Sony/Bose NC but with its NC enabled it will cancel out enough engine noise to listen to your music or movie at moderate volume. I would rather have these due to the superior sound quality it delivers with or without NC on.
LTech221I agree they are definitely not in the same category of the Sony/Bose NC models, it is with good reason. These headphones were actually designed for Hi-Res audio. The noise cancelling circuit within the MSR7NC was designed to enhance the musicality by diminishing standard room noise as opposed to attenuating the drone of an aircraft engine. Problem is marketing wise what else conveys to remove background noise other than NC. Noise-cancelling and venting technologies work together to maintain the Hi-Res Audio reproduction in both active and passive noise-cancelling modes. It does work but, I agree with you we might need to look at another category like "Music Enhancing Noise Reduction" MENR?... Glad to hear your Used Like New purchase went well. We constantly have to work to eliminate fraudulent cases and counterfeit merch off of the biggest online retailer.

poteetb1I actually really like the concept and don't have any big issues with the marketing. I'm curious though, is there anything stopping the MSR7NC's hardware from being able to go from music enhancing noise canceling to more extreme noise canceling? Bose, Sony, and others support tweaking ANC modes. It's weird that that isn't an option on the MSR7NCs... is it because that's just not possible with the way music enhancing NC is implemented?
