JWIN JHV100 Closed-Type Pro Digital Studio Monitor Headphones

I have owned and intensely used (often wearing out and sometimes even destroying) lots of very expensive professional headphones by Stanton, Pickering, Koss, Pioneer, Sony, Fostex, Clevite-Brush, AKG and Sennheiser in my previous career in broadcasting and recording studio work. I currently also have at home a pair of Koss Pro4AA and a pair of Sennheiser open ear phones.

My wife got these JWIN phones free as a rewards points premium from the bank. She gave them to me and I worked hard to keep from laughing. I'd never heard of JWIN. I probably never would have bought these in a million years in a store. They sat in the box unopened for months. The headphones I was using on my computer were a mic/headphone combo by Jensen which I bought at Wal-Mart for about $20 and the cable was too short which lead to eventually messing up the cord, but they sounded terrible with my bass guitar anyway. So I had this free set of JWIN JVH100's laying around and decided to try them...Read more

I live in an apartment building and play ( well, practice is a better word ) the bass guitar and needed headphones so I wouldn't bother neighbors or my wife whom sleeps and watchs TV about 6 feet from where I sit and play.

The 10 foot long cord was perfect for distance for sitting or standing and moving around while playing, so I wouldn't have to use an extention cable ( and usualy end up with feedback/distortion associated to an unshielded connector in an extention cable)

The volume control on each earpiece lets me adjust the volume so I don't have to mess with my amp or guitar volume settings I like to use when not using headphones. Makes it real nice too when using an instructional CD or DVD i can turn the bass sound off in one ear to hear the instructions clearly witout needing to seriously skew the headphones off my head.

Very light weight. Some headphones can weight the head down making you feel like one of them 'bobble heads'. Fits...Read more

These are great headphones.
I am very picky about sound but do not want to pay high prices.
Therefore there has to be a compromise, but not much.
These sound great in all types of music and go louder than many over the head phones.
I compared it with 5 or 6 other headphones below $30.
I compared against Jensen full size headphones that I put aside comparing for less than one minute.
Then I compared against Phillips HSP2500.
[ Phillips sounded louder but bass was muddier. Music and vocal didn't separate clearly.]
Again, I compared this with Sony MDR-XD200.
Sony MDR-XD200 was louder due to its sensitivity but didn't give clear sound.
The only headphone I liked besides these were Koss UR21C but that lacked loudness and long cord.
For $7 and above average sound quality, you can never go wrong.
Oh yeah, it is very comfortable.
I wear these at work for long hours and doesn't hurt even with my glasses.
