I bought these headphones for less than $5. Based on my experience, 'phones in this price range generally don't preform very well. Therefore, I was pleasantly surprised to find they recepted fairly well to bass and treble with only a little static at the higher ranges, but I can't complain for the price. The ear padding isn't of very high quality a little scratchy but keeps everything in place nonetheless. If you're looking for a cheap pair of headphones with satisfactory sound quality, I definitely recommend these.

And as an audiophile and audio enthusiast, i've owned MANY over the years, both cheap and expensive. In short, these headphones have a very 'veiled' and subdued sound, which noticeably holds back much of the music. Even for the low money, you can find much better sounding 'cans' in the ten dollar range. I have a cheap set of Sony's that cost me around ten bucks that 'blow away' these Maxell's in every respect... better and tighter bass, and more airy and detailed mids and highs. This probably why I found these on sale for four bucks at 'Big Lots'!

Bought these to replace my old Phillips headphones of a similar style. The Phillips were nothing special but after using these maxells my old ones seem like the damn pinnacle of hifi audio. I would rather hear to a band of kindergardeners blaring on recorders in my other headphones than listen to anything with these. I imagine the meeting where they came up with these went something like this.

Maxell President: Alright our headphones don't sound bad enough, who has some fresh ideas on how we can change this.

Worker: Well what if I took this tin can, attached some wires and Bam! We got our new headphone speaker!

Maxell President: Brilliant!

There are a lot of haters reviewing this set of headphones... to those people, let me remind you: you only paid $5 for them.

For my uses, namely jogging/working out, gaming on a laptop, these headphones work perfectly. Now, can you find better headphones out there? Yes. For $5? No. Like everything in this world, you get what you pay for.

These headphones replaced a $12 pair of Philips behind the neck/head headphones. The Philips had better bass response than these, but no big deal. I'm not sitting in a studio trying to engineer sound, I'm working out and sweating on them. They get the job done just fine. For what it's worth, they do not hurt my ears (no rubbing) like others have claimed.

The ones that arrived were not as pictured and tiny. They do fit my daughter, so she has commandeered them. Spend little get little. They do sound OK and again, I got what I paid for...
