Digital camera reviews of Maxell Noise-Cancellation Headphones
Digital camera Review: Horrible battery pack
Summary: 2 Stars
I previously had a pair of Sony noise-cancellers. The big downfall of the Maxells are the battery pack. It's about half-way down the cord. If you use them at a desk and move much, you'll constantly pull the pack off of the desk and it'll fall with a sharp jerk to your headphones. The Sonys only used a single AAA battery but the Maxells use two. So, Sony was able to put it in a compartment on the headphone band with no aggravation. Oddly, the Sonys seem to have much better battery life for me. The Maxells do enclose the ears much better to help block sounds, but they do start to hurt your ears after prolonged use. If you wear them for hours at a time, the similarly priced Sonys are easier on the ear. I'm not wild about the way the Maxells fold up, either. The Sonys kind of spin in and make for much flatter storage. Another problem with the Maxells is a loud creaking sound from the plastic. Often just moving your jaw seems to produce a loud plastic-on-plastic noise that comes through quite loud. With a slight re-design, Maxell could have a nice set of headphones. Wait until then or try another brand.Digital camera Review: I love it!

Initially I purchased Sennheiser HD201 Headphones. They didn't last two weeks, so I thought i would try the Maxell Noise Cancellation Headphones. I got them yesterday and I am so glad I did. I love them. The noise cancellation works well and the wires are heaver than the Sennheiser Headphones. It also came with a handy tote bag to keep them in and even has as adapter for airplane travel! I think these are "keepers". Thank you Amazon:)Digital camera Review: Is GE a better choice?
Summary: 3 Stars
This is my second purchase of the same model. I use it in noisy situations like lawn-moving, vaccum-cleaning etc.
Actually, I was not really thrilled with my first one. It was heavy, the battery had to be carried in an external case, the noise cancelling is ok. The wire going into the left ear cup broke leading me to find a replacement.
I looked for something similar with with large ear cups for the sake of comfort. In the price range of this one, I could not find any that performed better than this one. One JVC model looked good but reviews said that the noise cancelling is bad. So, I ended up purchasing this one again.
Later, at a Home Depot, I noticed a GE model that looked similar. I will check it out next time.
Digital camera Review: Kinda P*ssed off
Summary: 2 Stars
I got them out of the plastic and they're huge; they barely fit and I'm a medium-sized woman. So women: beware. Also, the cord is and drags almost to the ground. That's awkward for doing a lot of things: exercising, walking, sitting on the train.Digital camera Review: Lasted a matter of weeks
Summary: 1 Stars
I had these for only a few weeks and they have quit working entirely. Fiddling with the cord doesn't help. For $50, I expected much better quality. I am sadly disappointed and will not buy any headphone that says "Maxell" again - you can't trust anybody these days, they've all gone for cheap and to heck with quality.
