Maxell's NC-II is the budget winner in Noise Canceling headphones.

byopenroad Mar 29, 2005

Pros Cheap, long battery life, decent audio quality, cancels a decent amount of noise.
Cons Artificial bass level, minor complaints with N.C. quality.
Recommended it? Yes

---- 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.

The Sony MDRG42LP Headphones--A Walkman Classic But Are They The Best?

byspongebag7 Jun 13, 2006
11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Nice, rich bass, lightweight, long cord, good looks, portable, durable
Cons Slightly uncomfortable, high end is a little muffled, beaks fast
Recommended it? No

After getting fed up with the speaker cord crawling out on both side of the speaker on my HS520 pair, and becoming extremely uncomfortable, I decided to ditch that pair for a different set. I looked at Wal-Mart and while they are very heavy in earbuds and old-school style headphones, they only had... Read full review »
