She really likes them. I am very very impressed with them, and I gladly borrow them when I'm mowing the lawn. The noise canceling is very effective, and the sound quality is excellent.
My normal headphones are actually earbuds from Etymotic. They block out ambient sounds in a very different way, and while they are quite accurate, they don't have the bass response of the Sony headphones.
