These headphones sound just horrible! August 22, 2005
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
Please, don't buy these headphones. According to the quality of their sound they should cost half a dollar only. I've been searching for a vertical headphone during weeks and finally, after checking a lot of models and prices I decided and purchased this crappy little garbage. They sound just awful. Terribly awful. Also, they lie in the package since the package boast a frequency response of 16Hz-22000Mhz and the online info regarding this model says it's actually 20-20000. So, unless you wish to hear your music as coming from inside an empty Coke can, do yourself and your ears a gracious favor, and stay far, far away from these headphones which don't deserve that name.
Not for average-headed folks June 21, 2006
Unless your head is the size of a football player's, stay away from these headphones! I'm a normal sized female, and these headphones need to shrink another 2 inches to sit on my head comfortably. If I lean forward, the band falls across my eyes.
The sound quality is pretty bad - even with the volume turned way up it still sounds like I'm listening to a tinny radio half a block away.
Finally, the earbuds hurt my ears after about 5 minutes of use. Although could that be because the headphones don't stay in place, and are always pivoting around? I'm not going to wear them long enough to find out.
Back to Sony I go!
 Poor Sounding and Designed Headphones from Maxell Once Again December 30, 2006
When it comes to headphones I'm anything but easy on them. A pair, with me, usually lasts a maximum of six months. If they last longer than that they are lucky. Therefore, I decided to go on a search today to find a pair of earbuds that sound at least average, are comfortable, and seem to put up with some rough activities. I do have my Sony MDRE828LP earbuds, but the cord is starting to come off and the right side of the earbud gets blown out every once in awhile which is a sign that they're on its last couple of weeks. And I didn't want to get stuck without any earbuds for my iPod.
I bought these at...Walgreens. Yes, Walgreens. If I went all the way to Target or Wal-Mart my day would be gone. Walgreens doesn't typically have much more of a selection of headphones other than two brands, Maxell and Philips. Maxell had a pair of earbuds, but they were the deaded white. I looked at other selections and I found the HB350F headbuds. They seemed like a good deal and were on sale for seven dollars.
Hey, what do you expect for the price? At least something that has fair bass, good mids, and a clear sound. These do indeed have a clear sound. However, they have a really bad lack of bass tones. They don't sound BAD, depending on your standards, but to me were not worth it at this price-point. Even with the bass booster on, no matter what I tried I just could not get a good sound out of these headphones. I thought that since these were canalphones that they would supply much more of a solid low-end.
Unlike other earbuds, these are a bit different. As shown on the Amazon picture (although mine were red, not black) they have a band on the headphones, which makes these have a more secure fit so you won't have to worry about the earbuds falling off all the time while running or doing outdoor activities. But the comfort is killed by the design of the earbuds. The earpieces are huge and did not fit in my ears very well. After thirty minutes of wearing these my ears were in extreme pain.
For other extras, they do have a volume control, but don't get too excited here. It's more like a loud to a mild sound than it is very loud to off, but it could be useful in some cases. Also they have a nice folding action that makes them fit perfectly into my iPod's case.
I used to own the Maxell HB202 headbuds and was dissatisfied with the fit, and these are no different. They have a well designed folding action, and don't fall out of my ears, but are painful to wear and do not sound up to the price. If you find these at a very low price, like under five dollars, they may be worth it if you have big ear canals. Otherwise, not a good set to me at all. 2 stars.
Awful June 2, 2007
No bass. It really *does* sound like you are listening to a (distant) transistor radio through a coke can. I can't believe they put these on the market. Back to Walgreeens.
