Customer Review: Finally some good headphones.... thank you JVC!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I usually buy the vertical in the ear headphone models made by Sony... I like them because they are light and the better models usually sound good. The last ones I bought broke last week, one of the earphones gave out, and I immediately looked them up online to see if they are still being sold and I couldn't find them. So, with dread in my heart, I began searching for a cheap replacement set. I considered the sony WO8L but then I remembered them as not sounding so good. After reading a lot of great reviews I ordered the panasonic RPH21. These did not sound good to my ears at all and were quite uncomfortable. I was starting to get discouraged because in my experience, with the exception of the vertical sonys, most headphone to me don't sound very good. I remember the first time I heard the Sennheiser PX100's which are very well reviewed relatively low cost headphones and being unimpressed with the sound presentation.
Anyway, I was just surfing around and I stumbled upon the JVC flats, while checking out headphones on radio shacks site. The reviews online were all pretty good and they looked interesting (the headphones fold flat), different then what I am used to, and the price seemed cheap at around $17 so I took a chance and picked them up at BB. I was looking for the has150nb model which is what i saw reviewed but they did not have it. They had this model which is the latest model. The only difference I can see is this model has a wider frequency range at 12hz-24,000hz.
I have to say out of the box these are one of the best headphones I have ever heard. They are better than the Sonys I am used to. Nothing is exaggerated. Everything is just rich and clear, cohesive and well balanced. Even poor quality recordings sound very nice on this. It has just a really nice stereo sound. You don't need to turn the volume up loud at all. They also feel great on my ears. They are really very good. Thank you JVC.
