It isn't part of the noise cancellation feature as far as I know as I don't use it with noise cancelling earphones - just my iems as most people will. The included earphones are good, but not as good as what we use normally. My other Sony's except for the 636 hiss just as much and apart from the 828, none have noise cancelling. It is clean hiss though: no problems between changing tracks, or when searching. But it is loud and always present - consider it DAP tinnitus. |

I love the sound signature of sony - warm, overly bassy, and fun, but the hiss is killer. Again, for qualification, I own 4 Sony DAP's have owned 3 Minidisc players and handful of CD players (portable); Suzie: I am no Sony basher, just a concerned fan. Hiss, however, is horrid. |
