I have nothing really against the JVC HA-V570 Headphones in terms of quality for the price. You get what you pay for. I was just looking for a cheap pair of headphones that I can use to listen to DVD's on my laptop.
These headphones don't have sound definition in bass, midrange, or treble. Although the bass and midrange are definately better than most cheap earbuds. They sound 'adequate' which means that they don't suck and they don't excel in anything clearly.
My biggest complaint is that I don't like the Supra-Aural/Monitor-style nature of the earcups on this headphone. From the picture I guessed incorrectly that the pads would be extremely soft and cushiony on my ears. They are soft, but not as soft as that! And the cups heat up my ears after just 20 minutes of usage. So just imagine a 2 hour movie! They were sweaty and uncomfortable, especially when lying down.
I have a set of Sony Supra-Aural headphones that are extremely light-weight and...Read more

I'm a transcriptionist and spend my entire work shift with headphones on. I need something comfy that doesn't squeeze my head & give me headaches. THESE babies are great! They are wide-set enough to *not* squeeze my head too hard. They have slipped off when I tipped my head all the way forward or backward - but that's not something I normally do. They have a soft, cushy padding on them and a thin "leatherette" covering that doesn't make my ears *too* hot. ANY on-ear headphone is going to retain a little heat. They don't block outside sound entirely, but they do muffle it quite a bit. That's nice in my line of work.
One of the coolest things about these -- which was a pleasant surprise to me -- is that they have a swivel point for the ear pads! That means they really conform to the shape of your head nicely. Face it, most headphones are made with some pretty weird angles that don't really approximate the shape of a human head whatsoever. THESE DO!
The other "must...Read more

I had an old pair of these and they finally broke in half after 3 years of use. For me, this is a decent set of headphones at a reasonable price. I used to use my old pair for monitoring when I worked on my music. They have great bass which I love. I've had pairs of headphones that had no bass whatsoever and that really sucked because I would listen to a track I had made and then when I would burn it to a cd to play in the car I saw that there was extreme muddy bass in it! With these they allow me to take a lot of the bass out of tracks I make. Once you could hear a clear crisp sound through the headphones without a lot of kick from the bass that meant that the track was clean enough to make it sound good in the car. These are not going to give you a super professional audio sound, but if you just want to monitor your music, or listen to audio lectures, etc. , these are a decent pair of headphones and they last a surprisingly long time. The only drop back with these is as they get...Read more
