Maxell Bass 13 ANC headphones for work and travel

The Maxell Bass 13 model 199685 is a pair of over-ear Bluetooth headphones with active noise cancellation and a detachable boom microphone. They are aimed at commuters, students and office workers who want wireless freedom and clearer calls without a bulky headset. The circumaural design covers both ears for binaural stereo sound. A folding frame and supplied travel case make them easy to pack.

ANC reduces outside noise by 20 dB

Active noise cancellation cuts ambient sound by roughly 20 dB when switched on, giving about ten hours of battery life. Turning ANC off extends listening time to fifteen hours. The 40 mm drivers deliver full-range audio while the built-in microphone handles hands-free calls. Bluetooth range reaches ten metres, so you can move around a desk or small room without dropouts.

Detachable boom mic and travel case add flexibility

A removable boom microphone plugs in for clearer voice pickup during video meetings and unplugs for casual listening. The integrated microphone remains available for quick calls either way. The collapsible hinges fold the earcups flat, and the included travel case protects the headphones during transport. No extra cables or software are bundled, so setup stays simple across any Bluetooth-enabled device.

Questions about this item

How do I pair these 199685 headphones with my phone and what step do people skip?

Enable Bluetooth on your device, hold the headphone power button until the LED flashes, then select "Maxell Bass 13" from the list; the step often missed is keeping the headphones in pairing mode long enough for the phone to detect them.

Which parts of the Bass 13 will need replacement after daily use?

The ear pads and the detachable boom microphone are the wear items; pads can be swapped for compatible circumaural cushions, and the boom mic unplugs for a direct replacement if the boom arm or capsule fails.

At what point does the active noise cancellation stop working during a long session?

ANC runs for 10 hours on a full charge; after that the battery is depleted and noise cancellation ceases until recharged, while passive isolation from the 40 mm drivers and circumaural fit remains.
