Maxell HP/NC-V Noise Redux Headphones
The Maxell HP/NC-V Noise Redux Headphones is another pair of headphones that is steeped in style and performance. A lot industry expert claim that they are a perfect cheaper alternative to Bose’s Comfort 15, and we agree with them.
The design is fairly straight-forward and neat. It comes in a dark gray color with glossy finish. The outer side of the ear cups have a blue and black combination with the words Maxell written prominently in white. This idea of using gray is unique and looks stunning. It appeals to people of all ages, so it tends to be popular with everyone.

Maxell 190635 DJ Style headphones
Maxell 190635 DJ Style headphones is another good quality headphone that comes at an affordable price of $18. Many users tend to turn away from cheaper headphones because they tend to assume that these headphones will have poor sound quality or a smaller feature set. Unfortunately, this is not true especially when it comes to Maxell products because this company specializes in making affordable Maxell headphones without compromising on the latest technological advancements. This is why Maxwell 190635 DJ Style headphones scores higher than many of the more expensive headphone models.
This model is designed mostly for DJ use, though it can also be used by music lovers anywhere. To start with, the design is bold and impressive. It has a bright red theme with silver casing on the outer side of the ear cups. Though on first thought, the use of red may seem strange, once users see the product, they are sure to love it. This headphone makes a statement with such a bright color, and this will make everyone to turn and have a look at it when someone is wearing it.
The head band and ear cups come with thick padding that make it comfortable for users to wear even for long periods of time. This padding is also red in color to match with the overall theme of the headphone. This thick padding provides excellent levels of noise isolation – a feature that is must for every DJ-style headphone. However, these ear cups do not swivel or fold down flat and this could be a slight problem for those DJs who are used to wearing only one ear cup. At the same time, this headphone retails for under $20, so it is not fair to expect too much out of it.
For the same reason, there are not much accessories included with these headphones. There is a cable that comes out of both the ear cups and joins with a single line that is shaped like the letter Y. This cable is also red in color to match with the Maxell headphones. There is nothing unique about the cable like tangle-free feature, but again, this is expected when the headphone retails at such a low cost.
The good aspect is Maxell has not compromised on the sound quality in any way. It delivers powerful sound that is also well-balanced to make it ideal for all music lovers. Highs are nice and crisp while the mid rage notes are soothing to the ears. The transition from one note to another is also smooth to give an overall good sonic signature.
All in all, Maxell headphones are strong and well-balanced in sound and style, and offer exceptional value for money.
