The Purchase

I had been looking for some new headphones to replace my Sony MDR-D22s. The Sonys sounded fine, but they were too big for me to carry around with my mp3 CD player. The Sonys were also semi-open, meaning that some sound leaked in from outside, and some of my music leaked out... Read full review »

B is for bright!

Pros Great with binaural recordings
Cons very limited use, bright with stereo recordings
Recommended it? Yes

Designed to work with binaural recordings, their equalization circuit compensates for the rolled off high frequencies lost due to the binaural process. These recordings use a dummy head with microphones in the ears to record the... Read full review »

---- Why do I need 'Noise Canceling'? -----

During my last cross-country plane flight I was seated next to a young man wearing what appeared to be large silver earmuffs. At second glance I realized they were actually headphones, as if the large Bose logo on the side wasn't a hint. After... Read full review »

Great headphones, but not comparable to high end models

bydreammaker182 Jun 5, 2005
11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Maxell's unit costs less and still are effective for those on a lower budget.
Cons Lower quality noise reduction may not be as attractive to those seeking high end...
Recommended it? Yes

ears. They look and feel solid too. These headphones easily fold for storage. Using a pouch supplied with the headset helps making cord and N.C. on/off slider safer when carrying it around. Noise canceling is good for low pitch noise. I haven't flown in them, but I've worn them in noisy places and... Read full review »
