JVC HARX500 Full-Size Headphones (Silver)

I've had the JVC HARX500 -over ear- Headphones now for a week.What I wanted:1. Replace existing (in)ear-buds due to wear and poor sound quality.2. Be able to hear more bass, mids, treble...better sound quality.3. High comfort and stylish, as I commute on the train everyday to work & school.4. Good price.5. Noise cancellationI already own a pair of professional studio headphones (Sennheiser), which i've had for more than 5 years. But they are big and not for wear 'on the street' - I just use them for in the music studio.I've been drumming for 13 years -both in studios & live on stage-, and I have high expectations when I listen to music, whether at home, in the car, or on my mp3 player (Phillips GoGear vibe). I need to hear it all & it annoys me when the sound isn't right, like the basic EQ levels. I am always changing them to suit the song I'm listening to. I listen to a wide variety of music; from 90's grunge to temporary psychadelic trance to jazz and talk radio and everything in between.That said though, I am a college student, so I didn't expect to be able to find something with high quality sound for what I was able/willing to spend.I read pretty much all the reviews for the headphones in my price range and decided to get these JVC HARX500's. At first the 300's seemed enough but for $7 more you get the Neodymium Driver. JVC has always been a favorite of mine when choosing any music related electronics and I am, again, really happy with these headphones. The sound is well distributed between crispness and lower range. The structure is sturdy, yet flexible and not too heavy.It meant all my expectations:1. Good replacement for my old in-ear plugs, and I will add that it probably will be a for any, as the over-the-ear provide so much more depth to the sound.2. I think the bass is really nice. Not too muddy or too much. The mid's are right on par, and the treble is cristal clear. If you have an equalizer, I suggest fooling around to find your own personal sound preferences.3. These headphones are really comfy. You can adjust them every which way and (like mentioned in other reviews) the 'muffs' can turn to fit your ears. They are not too big, so I can easily put them in my backpack, and on the train, or walking around they, don't say "look at me". The cord is too long for my comfort, but I just tie it up, and stick it in my pants/jacket pocket. The headphones also even keep my ears warm in the winter!4. The price is, for such a high quality product of its kind, really unbeatable.5. I can turn this bad boy up and not hear a thing when your talking to me, or other background noises like trains (stations), cars, buses. I just 'tune out' and enjoy the music!In short, if your looking for these things I mentioned in new headphones...get this one and you wont be disappointed.

I run a podcast and I was searching for an affordable solution that provided three key factors: Comfort, Clarity, and Compactness. The comfort factor was the most important because if you are going to have a few of your guests wearing these for an hour, they need to feel like nothing is there. Clarity for the quality of the sound and to make sure your guests hear themselves clearly. Compactness for a podcast that has to go to multiple places.I tested these JVC HARX500 against the following: JVC HARX330, Monoprice Premium Hi-Fi Dj Style,Vogek On Ear Headphones with Mic, Tascam TH-02, Koss UR20, and Panasonic RP-HT161-K.Here is how they stacked up:JVC HARX330: decent clarity and lower profile for over the ear headphones but they really hurt my ears because they didn't completely cover my earsMonoprice Premium Hi-Fi Dj Style: If this purchase was for just listening to music or doing something other than my needs, this would have been my choice. The set was comfortable, albeit a bit on the heavy side and the clarity was unsurpassed. By far the best of all. However, these headphones had a good seal around my ears and I was unable to hear ambient noise. As a podcaster, I need to be aware of A/C units running in the background and I was unable to hear mine when wearing this. For my purposes, I need to be able to hear things that the microphone may or may not pick up.Vogek On Ear Headphones with Mic: I tried these just to see if on-ear headphones would work. Not for the comfort factor. However, these won the compact prize. They could fold up to the size of my palm which was a bonus.Tascam TH-02: with all the great reviews, I thought this was going to be a winner. However, it was very bulky and didn't fit on my head properly. Good quality sound but still not great. So it didn't win the prize for comfort because of its weight. These however did fold so they could have gotten a bonus point for compactness.Koss UR20: These things were a beast. This means it didn't pass the compact test. However, the sound clarity was terrible. I was amazed at how distorted voices were. It sounded like every time I talked I could hear myself clipping and I didn't hear that with any other headphone.Panasonic RP-HT161-K: Decent slimmer profile but didn't pass the comfort test.The JVC HARX500 met 2 of the 3 conditions I felt were the most important, comfort and clarity. After putting on these headphones, I just felt like I could easily have them on for hours without any worry of fatigue or my ears hurting. The sound coming from the speakers was true to self and was great for the price point. As mentioned above, it still allows some ambient noise to penetrate so you can hear background noise and isn't completely noise isolation which I needed. These fail the compact use case but they are still slimmer in profile compared to the Monoprice and Koss ones. I can overlook that for the top 2 needs

Produto bem acabado, som límpido. Atendeu minhas expectativas. Só exagerado o cabo que mede mais de 3 metros. Recomendo.

Primeiro é um fone para ouvir, não possui microfone, controle de volume ou qualquer botão.Segundo, o som é muito bom para quem gosta de harmonia. Não é um som alto.É possível ouvir os detalhes das músicas com muita qualidade.Não conheço de músicas e todas as especificações, mas quando ouço uma música, quero algo equilibrado e este forne conseguiu trazer isso.Se você procura um fone simples, sem botões e microfone mas com um som bom, este é o fone, agora se você quer um fone bom e com praticidade de botões, procure outro.Até...

These headphones are OK, sound is normal, it fits on my ears for long periods of time that's why I bought these so I'm glad these feel nice and comfortable. The wires a bit long for me but other than that this was a good purchase 10/10 would buy again

buon suono e ottima vestibilità
