The Maxell HP-101 are wired on-ear headphones designed for reliable audio and communication. Featuring a USB-C connector for broad compatibility, these black headphones deliver clear stereo sound through 30mm drivers with a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz. The integrated microphone on the 6-foot cable makes them ideal for everyday use with computers and other USB-C enabled devices, whether for virtual meetings, online learning, or enjoying your favorite audio.
Choose between open-back (spacious sound, leaks noise) and closed-back (isolating, punchy bass) designs based on your environment. For wireless headphones, prioritize comfort and Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) performance. Available from $10.8.
Wired headphones have no ongoing costs besides occasional earpad replacements. Wireless headphones function as consumables, as their batteries will eventually degrade after a few years of daily use.
