Customer Review: Great Buy For Cheap Price
Summary: 4 Stars
I was looking for some bargain noise cancelling headphones for vacation, and ran across this set at Rite-Aid for $25 (50% off retail). After reviewing other sets like the Aiwa HP-CN6, and the Sony MDR-NC6 I noticed that these cheaper Maxells were more comfortable (padded head-strap and softer ear cushions), and a longer cable. I have tried the Bose quiet comfort at Target, and I thought that Maxell was much more comfortable. The earcups may be small for big eared old men, but fit my larger ears well. I would recommend this set to any budget minded individual.Customer Review: Great Headphones for the Price
Summary: 4 Stars
These noise-cancellation headphones are the cheapest that I could find for my transatlantic flight to Ireland. I had another pair previously for my flight to Hawaii from the east coast. The over the ear design reduces cabin noise and doesn't start to bother you for about 6 hrs of constant wear. Take a break for food and you're ready to go again. They had reasonable sound and adequate noise-cancellation to drown out crying babies and cabin noise. Add earplugs if you need total quiet to sleep. The price was right for my occasional needs and for kids.Customer Review: Can't be beat for [price]
Summary: 4 Stars
I wear headphones while at work because I sit in a project room, listening mostly to MP3s on my laptop. Since other people's conversations can get loud at times, the noise cancellation is a bonus. It doesn't entirely drown them out, but it definitely makes things less distracting.The volume switch on my set isn't well built. Sliding it back and forth can cause you to lose volume in one ear only, especially at lower volume levels. The headphones fit really tight, so I recommend bending them a bit at the top to make them more comfortable.
Customer Review: Great price to performance ratio
Summary: 4 Stars
As someone that has tried the more expensive Bose noise cancelling headphones, I can honestly say that the Maxell NC-II are well worth the money. I recently wore these headphones with relatively high expectations, and feel that they performed well for the money spent.
You can tell that these headphones feel/appear made inexpensively - lots of plastic components. Take care of them, and they should last. Don't forget to grab a couple AAA batteries, as they are not included.
Customer Review: Very Comfortable - Poor Wire Connection
Summary: 4 Stars
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.
