Pioneer SE-NC70S Noise Canceling Headphones Review

I previously owned some 30$ Sony Over the ear headphones which were pretty great, had them for almost 10 years, i already had some personal issues with them which i came across with them after years of usage, like a squeaky plastic body which makes noise when you move, a too long cable, and the lack of folding so i decided to go for a more premium 100$ – level with Some Pioneer  SE-NC70S which are headphones which cost only 100$ but compete with the 200$ Bose / Beats by Dre, dare i say the Bose Quiet Comfort too? maybe not, but those cost 3 or 4 times more and they’re not twice good.

My active Noise canceling experience:
Active Noise Canceling is an electronic system which has some mics on the outside of the earcups which analyzes the frequency of the noise and throws out your music in a certain way that it doesn’t affect quality but eats up part of that noise, they claim to cancel 80% the noise, probably not true, but it cancels way more than some iPhone Headphones which is awesome.

My SRS Experience
This SRS system really changes the music to a way every instruments gets heard like from another part from the room, and really makes your music sound so much better, the single downside is that you have to have Noise-Canceling on too which probably eats more battery

Batteries
This headphones use 2 AA Batteries for Noise-canceling mode and for SRS Noise Canceling mode, they claim that the battery last 8 – 30 hours depending on the type of battery, to be honest i haven’t finished the batteries that it came with and i probably already listened to them 12 hours with SRS and Noise-Cancelling mode a huge advantage over the Bose Quiet Comfort 3 Which uses Rechargeable Li-on batteries, and the worst part about those 300$ headphones is that they don’t work without having your battery charged, these do and they still deliver great sound

Comfort
These pair of headphones is pretty comfortable, they fold easily and come with a nice bag for traveling, wearing them is pretty comfortable, however i felt a bit tired of wearing them after 2 hours and had to take them of for 5 minutes, it can get pretty hot in them too because the isolate very well, it’s not a huge deal for me because i make pauses anyways but i know some people which have headphones for 8 – 10 hours which probably wouldn’t like these, however this headphones are for the go and they do the job pretty well

Build Quality
These plastics do not make any sounds when moving around compared to the Sony ones, they fold really nicely to 1/3 of their opened size however i feel a bit insecure about the way you wear them by flexing them a bit, i have a pretty big head, but that’s not the only reason to flex them, even someone as wide as an apple needs to flex them

Price
The price is brilliant, it’s under the prices of Audiophile / DJ Headphones and over the Low quality / Low end ones, which is a great spot that isn’t filled by many manufacturers these days you only got the 50$ sony’s and the 200$ Bose’s, beats by dre and other high end ones

Review

A great budget noise canceling alternative for people which care about how their music sounds, Pioneer is a great alternative for budget, good quality headphones
