Better Than Bose!February 15, 2007 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
We just returned from California on a Red-Eye flight to Ft. Lauderdale. The plane was just about full and included lots of children and two dogs in carry-on cages. One of the little yappers was right in front of me and one of the dogs was in my row. We had stayed with my son in CA, who owns the newest Generation Of Bose Noise Cancelling Headsets. We wanted to purchase two sets..and two Bose were just beyond our (retired persons) budget. So we bought two sets of The Maxell Noise Cancelling Headsets w/ Full Ear Cups at a nearby discount store. My husband, who is an Electrical Engineer and VERY picky, decided to do a test: He tried both Bose and Maxell hooked to our MPC player, in our noisy rental car (in neutral and revving engine), with grandchildren yelling. His final assessment was that the Bose had marginally better sound quality, but the Maxell had quite acceptable sound quality and BETTER sound deadening. We used the headsets on the 4-hour flight home and were VERY pleased with both sound quality from the airline jack hookup and THRILLED with noise cancellation feature. In addition, the comfort of the full ear cup headset was excellent. After four hours, my ears did not feel "mashed" or tender. So, must say that we highly recommend them for anyone who does not want to pay the extra $$$ for Bose.
Perfect Comparison to BoseDecember 30, 2006 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
These cost me 34 dollars without tax, and i can say that they are completly worth it and more. They cancel out all the noise that bothers you, maybe not the really loud t.v. in the other room, but enough to where you could easily fall asleep with a tune in your ear. I would reccommend these because in all truth there is no 100% noise canceling headphone on the market, and these cancel just as much sound as the $150 Bose, and they sound great, with an amazing amount of attention given to the background sounds of a song. I am listening to a jazz song right now, and i can fully hear the piano and drums with the still vibrant voice of the solo trumpeter. Buy them, and you will be very happy.
Sound quality was sub-parDecember 27, 2006 Being married to a tone-deaf wife, she thought she was doing well. However, she considered headphones with the more advertised feature of "noise cancellation" as important. The sound quality of these headphones for the $50 price tag is very sub-par. I will say that the webservers we run are a little noisy and the noise cancellation is a nice feature (it works pretty well on these headphones) but a good earcup would suffice for me. It blocked out about 60% of the hum of the server rack (right next to me).
If you're looking for sound quality, these are not for you. They are really hollow (remember those old radio shack headphones?) If you're a Briney Spears junky and fly commercial airlines - it's a great deal. I really felt they lacked quality 1K response and it took me about 10 minutes with a parametric EQ to get anything quality out of the cups. The spectrum was false. Call me picky - but while listening to a 320Kps recording I should be 'wowed.'
These are going back to the store from where they came. I think I'll spend the $50 on some more acoustic padding and put the money toward the new Mackie Monitors that I had in mind. (I'll be able to afford them in 2010).
Bought and returned immediatelyOctober 16, 2006 1 out of 3 found this review helpful
I'm with Maulleigh "Maulleigh" (New York, NY), these things don't fit (try bending your head down while wearing them and they slip off). Worthless.
Not What I had hoped.July 29, 2006 The product is okay but the cups are a little small and are difficult to fit over my ear lobes; consequently, they can get uncomfortable after a short time. The On/Off switch is already failing after only a month. The static is being produced when turning it on or the right channel is cuts out when turning it on. I have to turn off and on several times for a clean signal or to get the right channel.
