Sony MDR-DS6000 Headphones Review
 The Sony MDR-DS6000 headphones are a set of wireless headphones with digital surround sound. They also offer compression (so you don't get deafened when the loud bits come on) and music and cinema modes that tweak the sound. This base station requires a wall socket, which means you won't be able to take the DS6000s on a road trip, but the headphones come with a rechargeable battery; all you have to do is place them on the base station and they charge up. We found that the battery lasted about 7 hours and 20 minutes.
Though the DS6000 certainly has some interesting features, it falls short in terms of sound quality, it had small issues with distortion across the frequency spectrum. Also, while it did well emphasizing bassy and lower-midrange tones, higher frequencies are a bit lost. And these headphones weren't particularly comfortable.
The Sony MDR-DS6000 headphones are priced at $399.99 from Sony.

Sony MDR-NC500D Headphones Review
 The Sony MDR-NC500D headphones are a set of noise-cancelling over-ears. With the noise-cancelling feature and premium price ($400), it certainly appears the NC500Ds are Sony's answer to Bose's QuietComfort series. Even the carrying case looks identical to the one Bose offers. Like the Bose headphones, the NC500Ds are comfortable, don't move around much when your head does, and come with some good cable and adapter options. Unlike the QuietComfort headphones, however, the NC500Ds offer multiple levels of noise cancellation, which are catered to three different environments: airplane, public transportation, and office.
