 Waste of money - again November 3, 2005
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
As I've found too often, these lightweight type of headphones are just too inferiorly made, and the result is poor wire connection with the the jack, causing crackling whenever the cord moves. I have found this particularly true of the Maxwell brand, like this pair I ordered through Amazon. And as usual, the problem was evident upon first usage. Seeing I need a lightwieght pair of headphones for exercising, this simply won't do. I've tried several other pairs and brands and haven't found one that's consistantly well-made, I don't have an alternative to recommend.
I'm sending this pair back to Maxwell, under the terms of the warrenty, for a replacement, but I don't have great hopes they'll send me a pair that's any better.
The Design And Comfort Is Way Better Than The Sound Quality February 26, 2007

If I were rating this product merely on the design and comfort, I would have to give it 5 stars. They are extremely comfortable and snuggly fit in your ears. However the sound quality is horrific. I would expect to not have the best sound quality on a set of headphones this cheap, but the left channel on mine is considerably lower volume than the right making your music listening experience unbearable. If you're looking for dime store headphones check out Sony or Koss and stay away from these.
 Good value and getting scarce February 12, 2006
I love these. And if you like this vertical design, I recommend buying a few while you still can. (The design has yielded favor to hip-hop styles and earbuds, so Maxell seems to be discontinuing this model. It's disappeared from all the drugstores where I used to see it.)
Face it: no mfr.'s compact headphones/earbuds last very long under normal use. A cord gets tugged once too many, you permanently lose one channel or the other, and then you can't access the connections to re-solder them.
At least with these Maxell's, you minimize your upfront investment. They're comfortable and sound almost as good as the corresponding Sony models, but they cost only 1/2 or 1/3 the price. Maxell's cord is also a foot longer than Sony's (4' instead of 3'), which makes a surprising difference in convenience if you're plugging them into a laptop or into desktop computer speakers.
Don't Bother January 22, 2007
Maxell should stick to media and stay away from electonics.
These head phones are very comfortable and functional but that's where it stops too bad the performance of the product doesn't match the functionality. As a sound engineer I have used many headphones, but I can safely say that 2 tin cans on a string would sound better than these do if not the same.
Broken in a week January 30, 2007
Bought these cheaply to work out with. The connection was bad whenever you moved and the wire split within a week of purchase. You get what you pay for, I guess.
