JVC HAG101 Closed Ear Headphones (Black)

Luckily I have these for my Computer which has a graphic EQ. The treble is harsh, but the bass is not over-pronounced or outspoken like some of the other complaints people had about JVC's. Like most typical cheap transducers (speakers/headphones) there is a pronounced high mid boost, so I adjusted to compensate... They just don't have the detailed imaging that my old, worn-out AKG 260 have. [...] they are pretty comfortable [...] I am using these with a DFI nF3 250Gb motherboard (which is powering the headphones)

I bought them for a cheap spare for recording with many people, so everyone has something to hear the tracks with. I just plugged them in 7 minutes ago so I haven't tried them with any other devices.

I purchased these headphones to replace the awful walkman style ones we were forced to use for our talk radio show, and since using them, our sound quality and consitency have improved dramatically. Now we hear the mixer output at the same volume with stunning clarity. They sheild just enough outside sound so that ambient noise doesn't get through, and you can still be aware of your surroundings. I would recommend this product for anyone on a tight budget planning to do sound editing or play online games.

These are selling REAL cheaply on Amazon. For under five bucks, you can't even get a meal, but you can get these headphones. So ends the positive things I can say about these headphones.

Now for the negatives: Harsh treble, muddy bass, overemphasized midrange, not very comfortable if worn over long periods, kind of ugly and clunky. I can't think of a pair of headphones for less money that's better, if you consider that a recommendation, but for about twice the price (still pocket change) you can get a decent cheap set of Koss KCS75 earphones which are better in every conceivable way to these. I mean, even the junk earbuds that came in the box with your mp3 player are likely better than these.

Uh, well, every way unless you WANT ugly and clunky over the ear phones. If you want good over the ear phones, Koss offers those, too, at reasonable prices.

If you think "they can't be THAT bad, and at the price I'll try them" then I'll remind you that a...Read more
