Digital camera reviews of Maxell Noise-Cancellation Headphones
Digital camera Review: Bittersweet
Summary: 3 Stars
This pair of headphones was my go-to set for about three years. I couldn't even begin to estimate how many hours I put on these things. The sound was incredible--the operative word here being "was". This particular pair of headphones, despite their superior sound quality (in this price range, of course), has one serious flaw in its design. The earcups fold up into the headband for compact travel, which is neat, but to my dismay I discovered that after three years of folding and unfolding them that the wires frayed. The headphones are ruined now. I supposed that is to be expected with a set that folds up, but it is disappointing nevertheless. I've yet to find an adequate replacement, as I cannot find this particular kind anymore in local stores. Very disappointing.Digital camera Review: Bought and returned immediately

I'm with Maulleigh "Maulleigh" (New York, NY), these things don't fit (try bending your head down while wearing them and they slip off). Worthless.Digital camera Review: Can't be beat for [price]
Summary: 4 Stars
I wear headphones while at work because I sit in a project room, listening mostly to MP3s on my laptop. Since other people's conversations can get loud at times, the noise cancellation is a bonus. It doesn't entirely drown them out, but it definitely makes things less distracting.The volume switch on my set isn't well built. Sliding it back and forth can cause you to lose volume in one ear only, especially at lower volume levels. The headphones fit really tight, so I recommend bending them a bit at the top to make them more comfortable.
Digital camera Review: Cheap Headphones, there are much better options for the money
Summary: 2 Stars
I've never felt a need for noise cancellation headphones, but I received these as a gift. Fortunately, no one spent a lot of money on them, because they really seem cheap to me. The construction is flimsy, and they're bulky. Maxell might as well have included a paper sack to carry them in, as the bag that comes with them is not much more than that. It offers no protection to the headphones at all.
I just can't see packing this kind of bulk in my scarce carry-on space. I don't see any payoff for the bulk in terms of the sound that you get: these simply sound quite mediocre with the noise cancellation off. With noise cancellation on, the sound is even worse. It's flat and lifeless.
I had recently purchased a pair of Sennheiser PX-100s. They sound vastly better for the money. They fold down super-compactly into a nicely-designed case and even cost a few bucks less.
I don't know about the expensive noise-cancellation headphones, but I would rather have a better pair of regular headphones for this price.
Digital camera Review: Cheap, flimsy
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought these and had to return them two times. They just stopped working each time. The wires seem cheap and faulty. One side always stops working and then the next side follows shortly after. I hope this 3rd set holds out.
