Terrible Headphones [Posted on 2006-09-21]
I purchased the Lightweight Stereo Headphones (HP-200F) September 18, 2006 as a replacement for the default Apple earbuds that came with my Ipod. During my first night of using the HP-200F, they worked fine. I was actually impressed by their sound quality, particularly given their extremely reasonable price. However, the very next day, the audio in the left headphone began to cut in and out. I could only fix it by moving the cord around and holding it in an awkward position. I must reiterate that at this point I had had the headphones for less than a full day, I did not drop them or damage them in any way. While this was barely tolerable, I continued to use them because as I said, the sound quality was good, the price was right, and I had no other headphones. On the evening of the 20th, two days after my inital purchase, I attempted to listen to my Ipod using these headphones, only to discover that not only was the left earpiece cutting out, but now the right one was as well. Even after continued manipulation of the cord position, I could only recover slight audio in the right earpiece. These headphones suffered complete failure TWO DAYS after I purchased them. No matter how cheap the price, this is unacceptable. I've purchased a variety of Maxell products in the past, and I've always been reasonably satisfied with them. However, this experience has turned me off the brand for good.
Foldable but didn't last long [Posted on 2007-12-25]
I bought these headphones at a Tower Records about 2 years ago. They are nice in that you can fold them and put them in a big pocket or purse and carry them to the gym. Today I couldn't hear anything out of the right side so I'll need to toss them. I was shopping around on Amazon and noticed the other review with the similar problem so I thought I'd add to it, seeing that it may be a common problem with this model. I had only paid around $10-$15 in the first place.
