Customer Review: Can't beat these JVC's!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was perusing the local electronics store one day and it dawned on me that I haven't have an adequate pair of headphones for quite some time. I used to have a set of Kenwood over-the-ear phones but the padding had long since been destroyed. So I decided to purchase a pair of affordable Sony noise reducing headphones. It was kind of an impulse buy. The Sony's are okay. They're not uncomfortable and they're great for portability, but sound wise, pretty mediocre, with no bass to offer at all. Not quite the full sound I want when listening to Creedence through my Harman Kardon receiver!
I was determined to find some decent over-the-ear headphones at an affordable price as I'm allergic to spending $100 on a pair of headphones. The trick is also finding a pair comfortable for me. I have rather large ears that stick out slightly (no, I'm not a Hobbit...I'm more Elf-ish) so the kind of headphones I prefer are also tend to make my ears sore after a while. So I needed an over-the-ear set of headphones that perform well, with decent bass, fit comfortably and are affordable. Too much to ask perhaps, but for those aspects I can sacrifice asthetics. They don't have to look pretty. Also, I'm no audio expert so it's okay if other brands are known to perform better, as long as the pair I choose still perform well.
Thanks to the reviews from these good patrons of Amazon, I decided on the JVC HA-RX900. The RX700 also had great reviews but the softer ear pads gave these the edge. 5-stars to Amazon and the merchant for speedy delivery!
LOOKS:
The JVC's weren't much to look at on a computer screen, so I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the box. They are fairly attractive upon closer view. I like the black/dark gray colors. There's little vents around the outside of the earpieces to allow some of the sound out. So they're semi-open...or semi closed...not sure. I'm also not sure what the benefit is, but it looks pretty cool. There's a subtlety to the design of these headphones I like very much.
FEEL:
The JVC's are large and seem well constructed. Yet they are also lightweight, at least for their size. They feel good around my head, thanks to the very soft ear pads. There's been no soreness from my ears, which is a relief. I'm trying to get used to the pressure overall from the both the mesh head-piece and the ear-pieces. It's been quite a while since I had headphones like this. But they are far and away easier on me than those old Kenwood's were. The JVC's will stay on your head too. No way these babies are falling off while jamming out to some classic rock.
SOUND:
Man, these do sound good! I read somewhere that they sound better after about 80 hours of use. I'll have to take their word for it because I have no intention of counting those hours. All I know is they sound terrific now! The bass is perfect. I half expected heavier bass from some reviews I read online, but the bass is neither too much, nor too little. All other audio aspects are excellent too. My Harman Kardon has a "Dolby Headphone" setting (or DH), which works nicely off 5.1 surround sound-based material (such as a DVD connected through a digital audio cable). But when listening to a CD, I find it best to play through normal stereo cables while switching off the DH setting (and on to BP for the "Bypass" setting) on my receiver for a more conventional stereo effect. In fact, it's spectacular. Usually, when I play Creedence's "Born on the Bayou", I barely notice the clapping that joins in at the beginning. With these headphones, set to BP through stereo cables, the clapping is just as clear as the bass, drums and guitar, as well as the cowbell which comes later in the song. To top it off, John Fogerty's roar is as powerful as ever! In other words, it passes the Creedence test! I also turned my cable onto some "Throwback Jamz" under the 5.1-supported DH setting to test the bass for good measure (what better way to test bass than to go old school hip hop?) and was delighted by the deep booms.
So I'm thrilled with the JVC HA-RX900! Who knows? Perhaps on the 81st hour, I'll say, "Hold on a minute, NOW it's awesome! All those other hours were crap compared to this!"
