 Not worth your time April 27, 2008
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I was going on a business trip, and didn't have time to get these in through Amazon. I had a previous version that went bad after four years, so I bought another pair (through Walmart).
Maxell really cheapened these up. The phone jack was flimsy, and started having problems after only three uses in my laptop. The fit around the ears was nowhere near as nice as the previous pair I had, and there seemed to be an intermittent (more on than off) constant tone around 9000 hz that was quite irritating.
Save yourself the time and aggravation with this pair, spend the money on a nice Audio-Technica unit (like I'm going to do) and get something that meets your needs for the long haul.
 Very Comfortable - Poor Wire Connection April 24, 2006
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I use these at work to drown out the close cubicle noise. They are very very comfortable, you can wear them for 8 hours should you need to. The problem is that the wire connection between the earpieces is very sensitive. I had to send them back to Maxell to be repaired. Maxell was really great about the whole process. However, a couple months later, the problem reoccured and only the left side would work. Oh well.
 Cheap Headphones, there are much better options for the money January 1, 2008
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
I've never felt a need for noise cancellation headphones, but I received these as a gift. Fortunately, no one spent a lot of money on them, because they really seem cheap to me. The construction is flimsy, and they're bulky. Maxell might as well have included a paper sack to carry them in, as the bag that comes with them is not much more than that. It offers no protection to the headphones at all.
I just can't see packing this kind of bulk in my scarce carry-on space. I don't see any payoff for the bulk in terms of the sound that you get: these simply sound quite mediocre with the noise cancellation off. With noise cancellation on, the sound is even worse. It's flat and lifeless.
I had recently purchased a pair of Sennheiser PX-100s. They sound vastly better for the money. They fold down super-compactly into a nicely-designed case and even cost a few bucks less.
I don't know about the expensive noise-cancellation headphones, but I would rather have a better pair of regular headphones for this price.
HP-NCII - Good only for certain applications December 23, 2004
4 out of 8 found this review helpful
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.

These headphones are seemingly without a glich.
Ok, they say these "Noise Canceling". But they can't be THAT good.
Well It's ok. Just ok.
PROS: -What People are missing is that there not just good at blocking out sound. THEY HAVE GREAT SOUND THEMSELVES!
What I mean is, they have REALY cool sound.
Example: You can hear a sound from behind your left ear.
Example: You hear a sound, than turn your head to see what made it.
THESE HEADPHONES HAVE GREAT SOUND!
CONS: People who listen alot (like me.) are dissapointed when they swich to a diffrent pair of headphones.
I think anyone who wants a diffrent listen should give these a spin.
