 Great while they last, which isn't long April 3, 2008

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.
Any headphones that can't even last 2 months are not worth your money. I've also read other reviews where the same thing happened, so it's not like it was an isolated incident. Needless to say, I will not buy any Maxell headphones ever again and I suggest you don't either.

I am very impressed by the Maxwell HP-NC1 Headphones that I own. Though rather pricey clocking in at about seventy bucks they are worth it to listen to the great sound which vibrates from these excellent earphones. Not just great music quality is heard, but also it provides a great insulation quality for sound to keep all of the sound that you hear purely to yourself so that nobody next to you or across from you can hear unwanted music. Great for plane rides, train, or just long car trips with your family. The only reason I gave the Maxwell phones only four stars and not five is definetely not the quality, but the price I believe is too high and it is agravating if you wish to get high quality sound for less.
Surprisingly Effective NR; not bad headphones, either August 14, 2001

The noise reduction works as advertized. Low frequency sounds are _greatly_ reduced. Higher frequencies -- human voices, in particular -- are less damped. But if you spend time around machines (airplanes, air conditioners, etc.) they make your life a lot more peaceful. As headphones (for example, for a stereo) they are OK but not great.
Amazing technologi, less good comfort.... August 30, 2002

These relatively inexpensive noice-cancelling headphones really does its job well, remarkable how it reduces the cabin noice on a Boing 747 by at least 50%. It's actually possible with these to follow a movie being shown and understand all that's being said without too much concentration. As for the sound quality, they're probable nothing fancy but they produce a good deal more bass than your standard in-flight headset. My only problem with these is the comfort issue. After 1-2 hour of wearing my ears gets red/annoyed. This is because they rest on the ear itself where I would've preferred an over-the-ear solution. I am happy I got them however, great value for the money, the Sony solution is way WAY more expensive and I just need them for an occational movie in flight.
Good value but you get what you pay for December 30, 2002

I have now used these headphones on a few flights and have found the following:1. They help versus not using them, i.e. they make a difference
2. Battery life is very good
3. Price is great!
4. They are *not* very comfortable. My ears hurt after wearing them for the whole flight (longer than 5 hours) Overall, if you don't want to spend a lot of money on such gadgets, get this one. If you want the best, get the Bose one!
