On-Ear Stereo Headphones

The maxell HP-100 is a wired on-ear stereo headphone with a 3.5 mm connector for portable stereos, boom boxes, cassette players, tablets, smartphones and computers. Its supra-aural ear coupling rests on the ears rather than enclosing them. The open-air design allows ambient sound to pass through while you listen.

Sustained Listening Comfort

An adjustable headband and soft foam pads distribute pressure evenly across the head during long sessions. The lightweight build and single-entry six-foot cord reduce fatigue and cable drag when the headphones are worn for extended periods. No battery or wireless link means the sound remains consistent as long as the source device plays.

90 dB/mW Sensitivity

At 90 dB per milliwatt the drivers produce a moderate output level from typical portable headphone jacks. Buyers who need higher volume from low-power sources or who require noise-isolating closed-back cups should consider a different model.

Questions about this item

Does the 3.5 mm wired connection draw any power or generate heat during all-day use?

No, the passive 3.5 mm plug requires no power and produces no heat, even after hours of continuous listening.

Which devices must already have a 3.5 mm headphone jack for the HP-100 to work?

Any smartphone, tablet, laptop, portable stereo or cassette player with a standard 3.5 mm output will drive the headphones directly.

Will the 90 dB/mW sensitivity match the volume of older portable players I still use?

Yes, the 90 dB/mW rating is well suited to the lower output levels of classic boom boxes and cassette decks.
