Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Maxell's folding stereo headphones offer an inline volume control to adjust the listening level from your portable MP3, CD, minidisc, PDA, or cassette player while you're on the go. This frees you to place your listening device in deep in a pocket, purse, or backpack without surrendering the ability to increase or decrease your listening level.

The HP-700Fs use large, 30 mm drivers for full-bodied sound. Their open-ear design means the sound will be less subject to coloration and unwanted resonance than closed-ear models, though some sound may bleed in and out to and from the earpieces. The headphones' adjustable headband gives you form-fitting comfort.

Product Description

A larger folding headphone with great sound, the HP 700 will meet the demand of any digital sound source. The locking adjustable headband and inline volume control make listening more comfortable.

1.0 out of 5 stars These headphones are the worst, October 30, 2004

This review is from: Maxell HP-700F Foldable Digital Stereo Headphones with Volume Control (Electronics)

I purchased these headphones to use with my portable mp3 player. Technically, I purchased the HP-700 model which does not fold, but I assume they are similar.

Right on the packaging, it says "Gold plated mini-plug" yet the plug is NOT gold-plated at all, it is in fact a standard nickel-plated mini plug. The sound is incredibly tinny and even with the volume control is lower volume than my Sony headphones without the volume control. In addition, the plug does not create a tight fit with the player, so that as you move on a cardio machine, it slides around and causes static and lack of sound in the headphones.

This is the second pair of Maxell headphones I have had trouble with in the past 6 months. I have learned my lesson. NO MORE MAXELL!

I bought these to pack away in my tote bag for when I listen to my music on the go. They put out good sound, and fold up quite small. I would buy another.

These headphones arrived quickly and in great condition. Only improvement: company should have tracking numbers available so packages can be tracked.

The headphones are wonderful. The volume adjusting button on the cord is excellent! And I love the foldable feature- I desperately needed foldable headphones and these are perfect. Good sound quality, also.
