Maxell 190561S Stereo Line Ear Clips (Silver) Review


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.

Maxell M&M’s Earbud (Pink) Review


I bought these to replace the aging earbuds that came with my iPod almost two years ago. At $10, I thought "why not at least give them a try?" about these, and at first I thought I'd made a mistake. When I opened the package, I noticed that they were packaged in a way that you would expect to see something on a shelf in a children's section of a toy store, and when I removed them, they felt slightly plasticky.

Though that's the only bad thing. They come with two different sizes of earbud inserts (for lack of a better word) which are both extremely comfortable, and work effectively to block out any noise (an unadvertised feature, and one that should be!). The sound quality is simply amazing, comparable to something that you'd spent upwards of $100 on. They seem to have onboard amplifiers of some sort, as even at the lowest volume, the audio is adequate enough to be heard easily. If you looking for new earbuds and don't want to spend much, you should definitely consider these.

Maxell 190329S Stereo Line Neckband Head Buds (Silver) Review


These headphones are horrible. I bought them as a back up to my Koss P9 headphones and I am completely unhappy with them. The bud is actually physically painful after a whopping 5 minutes. The plastic used to cover the speaker is very flexible, but is only a thin layer over the speaker being shoved into your ear drum. The neck band is not comfortable and sticks out not less than an inch from any position. While the sound is acceptable, the pain caused by the bud completely distracts and annoys me while I try to listen to music. Overall, not only will I never buy these again, I strongly urge who ever does, to try them the second they get them, so that they will still be covered by Amazon's return policy!

Maxell DHPII Digital Headphone Technology Full Size Headphones Review


I got these headphones on Amazon after looking at similar headphones locally, all with higher price tags. I am happy with them. I sort of baby them and haven't used them much, so I don't know how much punishment they can take. The one feature that I found intriguing is the cord, which doesn't extend from the right side. Both the right and left signals come up a thin cord on the left side, a really thin cord which fans my fears of it breaking.

Maxell EC450 Digital Ear Clips Review


The cord is extremely short--2' tops--so you can't use them unless you're clipping your mp3 player on your arm or right at your waist. And I've only been using them about 2 weeks, and the rubber has already broken where the wire connects to the earclip, leaving the wire exposed. And when you use the in-line volume control, it can make half of the stereo sound drop out. I've seen other headphones with in-line volume control do that, but usually only after months, not right out of the box.

On the plus side, it doesn't have that irritating "cord management" thing, where one of the ears has a much longer cord than the other, forcing you to either leave your mp3 player on your left side (which makes SO much sense, since so many of us are left-handed) or have the cord cross in front of you. This one lets you pick which side to wear your ipod on.

Maxell P-10 Cassette Adapter Review


First of all, something like this should cost less than $7, $10 at the most.
Initially, the spindles makes squeaky noises, so I open the unit up to see how I can stop the squeaking. I soon found out that the spindle served no purpose at all for the particular head unit in my car (some tape decks require certain amount of tension in the spindle or it will stop). So I took out the spindle and the thing is as quiet as it could be. I also experimented with the flipping the adapter and switching the side A/B button on the head unit, and found that a certain combination works better than others.
The cable is long, much longer than what was needed, so I stuffed most of it inside the case to minimize clutter (this is a DIY modification which you have to open up the case).

Maxell 190316S Stereo Line Neckband (Silver) Review


I got these to replace my broken work ones. They were so cheap I got two and my shipping was still more expensive. The sound quality is very good for the price. My main complaint is the shortness of the cord. It barely reaches from the laptop on my desk to my head. If you're using these with an MP3 player in your pocket or something, you should be fine. Otherwise, you might need to buy an extension cable that would probably cost more than the actual headphones.

EDIT: After a week of using them, the left headphone died. They were cheap enough that I ordered two at the time, so hopefully it was a fluke and this one will last longer. Otherwise I can't really recommend these to anyone. I'd give 'em about 2.5 stars right now because they are a little tight around the head for long usage sessions (but I've got a big head too)...
