very good with just one drawback..........2007-12-24
Maxell manufactures excellent 60 minute "XL2" cassette tapes for very good quality tape recordings of music as well as, of course, all purpose general recording. As long as you have the right kind of equipment, these tapes record the sounds of record albums, radio shows, CD-Rs, people talking and more. These tapes have 60 minutes worth of blank recording tapes on them so there are 30 blank minutes for recording on each side. The tape playback will work well in just about any tape deck including the one in your car.
The tapes allow you hours upon hours of listening enjoyment because you can record over them many times; and they take up very little room so they're easy to carry around with you.
Unfortunately, these tapes cannot produce the same quality recording reproduction as a digitalized copy would give you. This means that if, hypothetically, you were to copy a CD-R onto another CD-R instead of a Maxell "XL2" cassette tape, the quality of the sound on the CD-R copy would remain sharper and clearer with less background noise than a Maxell cassette tape or any other brand of cassette tape could give you. It's just not quite as good as a digitized CD-R recording. Moreover, cassette tapes can break if not handled with care. They can also break if used a few too many times, too. Therefore, I recommend that any important recorded material should be copied onto another blank tape and then keep that second tape in a safe place to use as a backup. These shortcomings frustrate me and therefore I will have to take off one star to make this a four star review.
Overall, Maxell makes the XL2 cassette tape to give us a great choice when we want reliable cassette tapes to record music at a high level of quality for a cassette tape. This cassette tape can be used to record other things, too, including lectures at school. I have used this brand for a while now and I cannot think of any major complaints. I highly recommend Maxell XL2 60 minute cassette tapes for you to use when you need to record something onto a tape--especially music.
Maxell's "XL2" will excel for you.......2007-07-03
As the author of the Jefferson Airplane book "Take Me To A Circus Tent", a former radio disc-jockey, and a collector of music I am often asked to write and or discuss various tape products as well as recordings from the 60's and 70's.
The Maxell XL2 and XL2S have long been the standard for blank chrome tapes (Position 2). The long term reliability is superlative as well as the initial quality.
I have used thousands of Maxell tapes the past three decades plus and have never been disappointed with their audio tape or video.
In order to receive the optimum performances please keep the tape heads clean. If they are not regardless of the great product, you will hear a muddy sound on playback.
For music recording Maxell's chrome tape will surpass the harshest critic's expectations. If you are recording voice, only Maxell's Position 1 (Normal Bias) will be suitable for your needs.
Enjoy the music and be well,
Craig Fenton

The Best and Most Consistent Blank Audio Cassettes.......2007-02-10
I prefer Audio Cassette Tape Recording over CD recordings. I find the sound to be richer, more dynamic and much more consistent over homemade CD recordings. I always preferred 60 minute blank tapes over 90 and 100 minute Capsule tapes. I have always used Maxells. The 60-Minute High Bias Type II is the best. I have recordings I made in 1987 of THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS soundtrack and of a-ha's first album and they sound excellent to this day. The Pack of Five is a good value all around.
Maxell blank audio tapes are great........2004-08-17
First off, any idiot who uses these fine blank music quality cassetts for speech recording, as is suggested in the lame desctiption, deserves to pay so much. Setiously, I have used these tapes for years to record music and I am still listening to some I had recorded over 15 years ago. I can't say I have ever had a "lemon" tape; all have been up to the highest performance. P.S.: If you are looking for speech or "normal" bias tapes, go for the Maxell UR tapes.

Annoying.......2007-06-28
The product seems to work fine but everytime I turn on the Sony camcorder or press record it tells me it recommends the Sony DVDs. Its really annoying, to the point next time I will just buy Sony so I don't have to see that message anymore!!
Does what is says on the tin!.......2007-01-23
Bought the disss a few times, mainly through amazon. I had no problems whatsoever. They also come with the cases which makes life a lot easier especially when it comes to storing the disks. It is a simple product and it does exactly what is says on the tin

Customer Reviews:
Worked perfectly.......2007-04-17
This was advertized as a 2X DVD-RW and it was. It worked perfectly with my Sylvania DVR90DEA DVD Recorder.
2x VS 4x.......2006-01-10
It is extremely important that you know exactly what type of DVD-RW's you're buying - this listing should be more specific. I was just given a Samsung VHS / DVD Recorder and it lists very, very specific DVD's that the unit accepts (IE: It takes Sony DVD-R 4x, but it won't take a Sony DVD-RW!) AND... It only accepts 2x DVD-RW's! I made four trips back and forth to Staples just to find out they didn't have the specific brand name that I needed & I eventually found the Maxell DVD-RW 2x @ a not so local Sears Electronic store. Read your directions closely.
Best for DVD Recorders.......2005-09-29
I just got me a Toshiba recorder and is very picky on the kind of media you use in it. It doesn't like verbatins or sonys which are very good (except for this type of recorder). So if you are looking for a good media for your recorder, this is one you can use.
why my previou reviews for this product are not posted???.......2005-04-08
why doesn't the speed of the DVD-RW state on the description??
Remind you that it is "2x write speed". (4x write speed would be better)

A little harder to handle but better price............2007-05-13
The 100 rolls are better for one reason, the last disk on the 50 rolls are scuffed and don't record good. The 100's seem to hold up better in shipment also. You can always use an empty 50 pack to place 20 blanks from the 100 roll, I always keep my empties to store my recordings of less importance.

Customer Reviews:
DVD-R spindle.......2007-09-04
I have used this product before and it works great. Once in a while I will get a disc or two that do not work. I was disappointed when I received these in the mail because the spindle was busted in three spots and the discs were wedged in so hard that many were scratched badly. There was no cushioning in the box. So far only a few dics are bad. I am otherwise satisfied and know this was just bad shipping.
