JVCHAFX1X Headphone Xtreme-Xplosivs, Black, Red

First of all I'd like to say that I'm not an audio expert by any means, I just love music and have owned lots of headphones.I ordered this product a few weeks ago, it was delivered in less than 5 days as expected. I was very exited to try them out as most of the reviews here are quite good. The first thing I saw as I opened the USPS box was the good locking package. It is almost impossible to open, this is probably my only complain about this product, but after about 10 minutes fighting against it I was able to get to the headphones, which were inside a very nicely designed carrying case (I didn't expected this, and it's actually a very useful addition).Moving on to the headphones - in one word they look AMAZING. They have a premium feel that I wasn't expecting for the price I paid, they look expensive... The build quality is very good, the housings are made of high quality plastic, they have a little "XX" logo and the (L)eft or (R)ight indicator. Although they are quite big, they are lightweight and don't fall of easily if you use the right tips (They included 3 different sizes) plus they are very comfortable, I can use them for long periods of time without trouble and I sometimes forget that I still have them on. The cord and the plug also feel well-made and I don't feel like they will break easily.The sound quality is great too, but as I mentioned before I'M NOT AN EXPERT IN SOUND, but I have used a lot of headphones in the past so I know how to tell if they sound good or not. After using them for about 25 hours I have to say that I'm quite impressed with the sound delivered by this under 20 dollar headphones. The bass is a bit heavy but I love the effect it gives to my music, it doesn't affect the treble and the mids at all. I fell like they were 50-60 bucks because that is the kind of sound they deliver.Overall I'm very pleased with this product, I would recommend it to anyone looking for an good pair of headphones for under 20 dollars. Both the build quality and the sound are amazing, so if you were doubting between this and any other product of the same price range just get this. You won't be disappointed at all!!Hope this review helped, it's the first time I post on Amazon and English is not my native language... so excuse my poor use of language ;)

After burning through three pairs of the standard headphones that come with Apple products in only a few months, I decided that I'd go ahead and try a pair of earbuds made by a different brand. I must say that I'm happy with my decision.As a professional producer and musician I can appreciate a great pair of headphones that put out some serious sounds. In fact, these JVC earbuds are the least expensive pair of headphones that I have in my collection but I needed a reliable pair that I could take on the road for casual listening without worrying about losing or damaging my $500 pair of studio headphones.Musicians and fans of music in general learn to appreciate the small things that make listening to music more enjoyable and personal. There are a couple of things about these earbuds that I have really become fond of:=== THE GOOD ===- Bass ResponseWhen I first read the advertised frequency response for these headphones was supposedly 5Hz - 23,000Hz I literally laughed out loud and began to doubt my decision to purchase them as I continued opened the package. I popped them in my iPhone, started up a track I was familiar with, and ended up very surprised with the amount of bass these things put out. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying these headphones accurately reproduce the advertised frequency response cause that wouldn't be accurate, but the quality of sound that these babies put out (especially for the price) is very impressive. The bass is deep and thick which really gives the extra punch to the kick drum and adds the right amount of 'special sauce' to the bass guitar which adds a very special touch to most tracks. The bass response alone more than justifies the price of the headphones.- ComfortThese headphones fit perfectly in my ears and are comfortable enough to listen to continuously for hours without becoming uncomfortable or accidentally falling out of my ears every time I turn my head. If you get inside your music like I do then you know that the headphones falling out of your ears can literally ruin a song. These things have managed to stay snug in my ears and have never fallen out, even though they probably should when things have been crazy on the road in the past. I'm not 100% sure the earbuds will fit perfectly in every ear, but I know they fit perfectly in mine. I mean, how different can the holes in our ears really be?- Cord LengthOnce again, we're talking about little things here. The length of the cord is just around 4 feet which ends up being just right. Think of it like having 'custom tailored' headphones for your body. The cord is just long enough for you to listen to them while your phone or iPod is in your pocket but isn't absurdly long which would open up the possibility of it getting caught on something and pulling the earbuds out of your ears or phone. This may not be a problem for some people, but I know that I've had problems with this in the past while traveling or in the studio.=== THE NOT SO GOOD ===If there's something that I think you should know about, I'm going to tell you. That's just how I roll. There's only one thing about most pairs of in-ear headphones that is important to think about. This 'problem' isn't only with this specific pair of headphones but usually occurs across the board with any headphones that go inside your ears. The way the human body is made amplifies noises made by your mouth, teeth, vocal chords, etc while these headphones are in your ears. If you're a vocalist and like to hum or sing to your tracks or occasionally chew gum or eat food while you listen to music, you're going to hear it more than you normally do. BUT, the upside of having in-ear headphones means that external noises are much less obvious which is a bonus. This is just a trade-off you'll have to keep in mind before buying any headphones. If you're cool with the minor issue of hearing the noises your mouth makes while you eat or sing with your headphones in then these headphones are a great addition to any collection.
