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.
