JVC HASX500 Bi-Metal Headband Style Headphones

Product Review

The new JVC HA-SX500 achieves high quality sound with a large 16mm neodymium driver unit and new Bi-METAL structure. The lightweight headphones fit securely and comfortably with a cushioned metallic headband and 3 sizes of ergonomic earpieces. The HA-SX500 delivers enhanced dynamic sound by employing a large 16mm neodymium driver unit, offering greater power handling and sensitivity. The Bi-METAL structure, meanwhile, designed to holds a stainless steel base unit with a ring made of brass, high specific heavy metal, and controls its movement for superior sound reproduction across the frequency range. The vast reduction in friction noise is another innovation to please audiophiles. The HA-SX500 features flexible rubber joints, reducing friction noise while increasing comfort, and uses OFC (oxygen-free copper) to minimize transmission loss in the 0.8 meter friction noise reduction cord. The HA-SX500 also offers up-to-date connection possibilities with an iPhone compatible plug. The lightweight HA-SX500 headphones also feature an ear-conscious design, making them comfortable and practical, fitting securely in the ear while at the same time delivering superior isolation from external sounds and minimizing sound leakage. The ergonomic earpieces come in three sizes to provide snug, customized sizing, supported by a cushioned metallic headband for a secure fit and hours of comfort. A number of convenient accessories complete the package, such as a 0.7m extension cord and a handy carrying case.

beware of these earphones, and Buy.Com, September 18, 2008

If you see a high rating for these phones , do not believe it.They have absolutely no bass response at all.The tips are hard and don't fit or sit right in your ear. I listen to all kinds of music , but mostly jazz. I expect at least some presence of all the highs and lows in music. These phones do a real good in midrange and treble,but produces no bass at all. I am very disappointed with this product. Also Buy .Com will not give store credit or refund if the package is opened,even if it is defective.The best they will do is replace them. Beware of them as well. I would rather listen to my ol' trusty Spark Plugs. Believe me,I know what to expect out of them.If you buy them , remember I told you not to.

Painful, November 30, 2008

These headphones are painful for me to wear. Luckily, I bought them at a store that allowed me to return them.

In order to get acceptable bass response, the ear buds have to be pushed into the ear canal. None of the three sets of rubber ear pieces that came with the headphones fit my ears properly. When I pushed them in far enough to get good bass response, my ears felt like they were bruised. I tried unsuccessfully for two days to find a way to wear them that didn't hurt.

OK, but Nothing to Write Home About, October 21, 2008

The price from this retailer was great compared to others on the net. Item doesn't perform as well as I thought it would. Difficult to get folded back into the case, I actually don't even use it. I use a plastic sandwich bag for storage. Sound is OK, but the levels are low. My 9.95 Sony over the head ear buds are brighter and louder.
