Maxell 199840
The 40mm drivers deliver a bass-forward sound profile, while the closed-back, noise-isolating design passively blocks ambient noise for distraction-free listening. Weighing just 164g with a soft cushion headband and earpads, these wired headphones remain comfortable through extended sessions and include a built-in microphone for hands-free calls. Best for budget-conscious users needing a lightweight, durable headset for casual music, podcasts, or office calls where wired reliability is preferred.
