Maxell HP-550F Digital Foldable Full Ear Headphones

 (11 customer reviews)

If you're looking for a simple pair of comfortable headphones at a cheap price, these will do for basic listening and to reduce noise pollution around the house. There isn't much bass at all, and the sound quality isn't spectacular, but they are comfortable and have an inline volume control. The cord is only 3 feet long from the volume control to the plug, so I bought an extension cord for $5.99 for easier TV and video game use. If you want exceptional sound, I would go with Sony to start, then decide how much you want to spend. My Sony earbuds I bought for the same price blow these away in sound quality.

If you really need headphones, those Maxell are not what you want.
First, they only look nice in the picture, yet when u get them, u dont know what you purchased: a sattelite dish? frying pans? what? Certainly not headphones. They are heavy, they don't fit the ears at all, and the worst thing: they squeeze on your ears as if you are being tortured. You really get a headache after you use them. Their sound is so so, you don't expect great sound when you purchase 10 or 30 or 50$ headphones.
The only nice thing about them is the way they fold. Other than that, they are not a good choice, I bought JVC last year from amazon for 5$, they were much much much better. Yes 5$.

good sounding head phones, and they help to cancel out other noises in the room
