Digital camera reviews of Maxell Noise-Cancellation Headphones
Digital camera Review: Great Headphones for the Price
Summary: 4 Stars
These noise-cancellation headphones are the cheapest that I could find for my transatlantic flight to Ireland. I had another pair previously for my flight to Hawaii from the east coast. The over the ear design reduces cabin noise and doesn't start to bother you for about 6 hrs of constant wear. Take a break for food and you're ready to go again. They had reasonable sound and adequate noise-cancellation to drown out crying babies and cabin noise. Add earplugs if you need total quiet to sleep. The price was right for my occasional needs and for kids.Digital camera Review: Great Sound - Suspect Wiring
Summary: 3 Stars
I LOVE the performance of these very comfortable headphones. They do an excellent job of eliminating aircraft noise while at the same time delivering excellent cd and dvd audio. Whether you buy these or not - it must be said that noise cancellation headphones are worthless unless they cover your entire ear and this model is perfect sized.
The one drawback I have is that the first pair I owned only lasted about 6 months (of admittingly heavy travel use) because the cord broke at the point where it connects to the mid-cord battery pack. The connection integrity is pretty poor.
I like these phones so much, and they deliver performance only slightly below my boss's BOSE phones that I have already bought a second pair and am hoping that being extra careful during use and when packing that I get much longer life out of them.
Digital camera Review: Great price to performance ratio
Summary: 4 Stars
As someone that has tried the more expensive Bose noise cancelling headphones, I can honestly say that the Maxell NC-II are well worth the money. I recently wore these headphones with relatively high expectations, and feel that they performed well for the money spent.
You can tell that these headphones feel/appear made inexpensively - lots of plastic components. Take care of them, and they should last. Don't forget to grab a couple AAA batteries, as they are not included.
Digital camera Review: Great while they last, which isn't long
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought these in the second week of February. Today is April 3 and the right headphone is already on its death-bed. If I fiddle with the cord, I can get it to work, at least until it dies out again. It's an endless cycle of fiddling with the cord over and over again, only to have the right speaker die out again and again. I finally give up. I've read other reviews where the same thing happened, so it's not like it was an isolated incident.
Any headphones that can't even last 2 months are not worth your money. Needless to say, I will not buy any Maxell headphones ever again and I suggest you don't either.
Digital camera Review: HP-NCII - Good only for certain applications
Summary: 3 Stars
I read other people about Maxell HP-NC1 and decided to buy HP-NCII ($29.99). Here're the short list of what I have tested.
a/ Normal/Quite environment - When the noise cancelling (NC)is on, the white noise is quite noticeable and there's no effect to other people talks. I feel better listening to the music with the NC off.
b/ Snow blower and lawn mower - At slow speed setting, there's little different when the NC is on or off. But at high speed setting, the NC will block off the loud noise level significantly; the noise level coming through is about the same as the slow speed setting.
c/ Vacuum machine (12Amp) - there's no effect to the vacuum machine's whistling noise.
