Negative Positive
Title: ok for the money
Review: I purchased these as a cheap alternative to replace my Sennheiser noise cancelling headphones, which were fantastic, but which I managed to break. The positives of the Maxell HP/NC-II: 1) they're very comfortable 2) They're fairly inexpensive, 3) battery life. The negatives: 1) they really need a volume control on the headphones to boost output, 2) they don't seem to cancel anything- they just put out a "white noise" regardless of your environment.If you're uncertain about whether to buy noise cancelling headsets and don't want to spend a lot of money, these would be an ok investment, as they'll leave you aware of the possibilities, but leave you hungry for the real thing.
