Great sound for the price [Posted on 2004-10-29]
I bought these headphones a few months ago to replace the ones that came with a personal stereo. Headphones usually don't last very long for me and I end up breaking them after a month or so.
These headphones have held up well and I've enjoyed them. They're comfortable, stylish, cheap, sound good and provide great reception. Other, more expensive headphones may sound better, but for the price I can replace these every few months and still come out ahead!
Good sound quality and very comfortable to wear [Posted on 2007-10-21]
These are very good for sound quality and I prefer the clip on to the ear buds for stability and comfort.
Ear clips [Posted on 2008-07-25]
These ear clips work okay, but you get what you pay for. I don't like to pay too much for these kinds of headphones because I always end up pulling on the cord and breaking a wire at some point and then having to replace them, but these were a little too cheap for me. I was surprised by how short the cord is - like 3 feet long. They would probably work okay for an Mp3 player that you can put somewhere really close to you or in your shirt pocket. I ended up keeping them because it's more trouble than it's worth to send them back, but I bought the Panasonic RP-HS43 Clip-On Headphones to replace them, which worked out better - they're a better quality, and the cord is at least a foot longer, which makes it at least possible to use them with a stereo system that can't be moved around too much. On another note, the sound quality on these is pretty poor too, but that's not surprising considering how cheap they are. All in all, I would say just pay an extra $5-$10 for cheap headphones you can actually use, but if you're okay with the super-short cord these are a steal.
Disappointing [Posted on 2008-08-11]
I expected better from Maxell.
These Earphones broke in less than one month.
Most headphones break down after 4-5 months because I use them every day to listen to Audiobooks. Even cheaper no-name headphones I have had lasted longer than these which are supposed to be from a big name headphone manufacturer.
Even when they worked, they would constanly fall off of my ears, which was very irritating.
I have now repalced these with Maxell neck phones. These work much better, though they don't carry a loud enough volume and have no volume control. They are also thinner than the ear phones were so they are more comfortable when laying down and wearing them.
So I am not against Maxell, just this particular design of headphones. So if you want smaller phones, go for their neckphones instead of their earphones. The price is about the same but the quality is much better.
