Customer Reviews
Decent product for a decent price 
2008-06-30
Appears to be a well made product at a resonable price. Good volume and clarity when connected to my Sansa player BUT bass quality AND isolation of outside noise are nowhere near as good as my Shure IC2 and Emotic Research ER6i isolation earbuds but the price is much less.
Little ears, big sound 
2008-06-12
If you are one of the many who find ear buds to be a pain in the, well, ear, let me be one of the first to recommend the Maximo M-490 headphones.
Unlike Apple's buds, the headphones fit easily into the ear canal, where it delivers impressive stereo- rich and deep bass, clear treble response and and predictable separation. I have a Sharper Image quiet place Noise-Cancellation Headphones (FJ454) whose noise reduction technology screens ambient noise impressively. But note for note these headphones deliver higher quality sound.
I'm loving them!

I have been extremely pleased with these earphones. My primary reason for buying them was to use while running on a treadmill. I have tried a couple other types of headphones that have not worked well. Traditional earbuds get jarred out of my ear every few minutes. I found these in-ear earphones to be comfortable and very secure. I really like the metal housing with its solid look and feel. I like the way that it diminishes the competing noise from the room. I also like the zipper case to keep the cords organized when I toss it in my gym bag. I have only been using it with television, so I cannot yet comment on the audio quality with music. I have been very pleased, and they were just what I had been hoping for.
worked well for a month and then one of the earphones stopped working

the good things
- sound is v good, sounds full, good base
- you can play your mp3 player on the lowest volume and still hear clearly in the subway, the isolation works pretty well
the bad
- one of the ear phones stopped working after a month, so my set became useless
- if you listen to music often or for long, your ears may hurt due to the isolation created by the earphones ... especially while pushing the earphones into your ear or while removing the earphones
i liked the earphones, just wished they had lasted longer!
Very good sound isolation earphones 2008-05-07
The earphones were a good purchase. Very good noise isolation; especially on subway when wishing to only hear music or view a movie on my IPOD.

Missing parts 2008-04-16
I love these Maximo earphones. The sound is amazing. It took a minute to get used to them as they don't just rest in your ear like the regular earbuds. I recommend them. The only problem is that even though the package states it came with sizes small, medium, and large, the only one in the package was the medium. Now I've lost one of the black coverings and have no other pair to replace them with and may have to buy a new pair. :( .. they are worth buying a second pair but it would have been nice if the package included everything it said to have inside.
Great for noise cancellation, not good for exercise 2008-04-14
I'm not sure if I'm just ignorant about things, but noise cancellation earbuds are not comfortable when running. It builds up pressure in your ears!! At least, it did for me.
Otherwise, this are really good quality earbuds.
died after 5 month's 
2008-03-26
I loved these earphones for my sansa, but now they are dead, it's like it was yust yesterday in september when i bought these, now the left one does not give me any sound and the right one is dying, sorry but for the price i thought i would last a year or so. i only used it for college nothing else.
INSANE HEADPHONES BUY THEM NOW !!!! 2008-03-22
Just stop reading this review right now and buy these things!! You WON'T be dissapointed! I was not a fan of the in-the-ear headphones, but thought I'd give these a try since they were supposed to be a match for my Sansa MP3 player. From the first Jimi Hendrix note to the bass in Brass Monkey, these earphones are more than ready for the job. I thought the $h1T about these earphones being "specially designed for Sansa MP3 players" was a line of BS, but I couldn't be more wrong!!! AGAIN...STOP RADING AND JUST BUY THEM!!
