In 1961, Hitachi consolidated its dry‑battery and magnetic‑tape operations into the new Maxell Electric Industrial Company, positioning the brand as Hitachi’s key vehicle for consumer recording media.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThroughout the cassette era, Maxell became one of the most respected tape manufacturers. Their formulations, especially the XLI-S (Normal), XLII‑S (CrO₂), and MX (pure metal particle), were widely regarded as peak‑performance examples of the Compact Cassette format, earning strong loyalty from audiophiles and home recording enthusiasts. Maxell also produced a full range of consumer and professional magnetic media, including computer and broadcast tapes, before later shifting away from in‑house optical and recording‑media production.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe company’s cultural visibility peaked in the 1980s with the “Blown Away Guy” advertising campaign, which cemented Maxell’s reputation for high‑performance audio cassettes. Even as Maxell diversified into batteries, storage, and functional materials, its cassette legacy, and its long-standing connection to Hitachi remains central to its identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(90, 31, 209);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaxell My 1 - 1999 - Made in Japan (JP)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maxell","offers":[{"title":"50 Minutes","offer_id":67616812892452,"sku":"MAX-MY1-C50-99-JP","price":11.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"54 Minutes","offer_id":67616812925220,"sku":"MAX-MY1-C54-99-JP","price":11.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"54x2 Minutes","offer_id":67616812957988,"sku":"MAX-MY1-C54x2-99-JP","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"64 minutes","offer_id":67616812990756,"sku":"MAX-MY1-C64-99-JP","price":12.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"70 Minutes","offer_id":67616813023524,"sku":"MAX-MY1-C70-99-JP","price":13.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0254\/5208\/5345\/files\/2C1891E1-ED06-4767-B7FE-C7572AEAF9FC.jpg?v=1791047592","url":"https:\/\/www.cassettecomeback.com\/products\/maxell-my1-1999-jp","provider":"Cassette Comeback","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
