Can’t beat these JVC’s!
I was perusing the local electronics store one day and it dawned on me that I haven’t have an adequate pair of headphones for quite some time. I used to have a set of Kenwood over-the-ear phones but the padding had long since been destroyed. So I decided to purchase a pair of affordable Sony noise reducing headphones. It was kind of an impulse buy. The Sony’s are okay. They’re not uncomfortable and they’re great for portability, but sound wise, pretty mediocre, with no bass to offer at all. Not quite the full sound I want when listening to Creedence through my Harman Kardon receiver!I was determined to find some decent over-the-ear headphones at an affordable price as I’m allergic to spending $100 on a pair of headphones. The trick is also finding a pair comfortable for me. I have rather large ears that stick out slightly (no, I’m not a Hobbit…I’m more Elf-ish) so the kind of headphones I prefer are also tend to make my ears sore after a while. So I needed an over-the-ear set of headphones that perform well, with decent bass, fit comfortably and are affordable. Too much to ask perhaps, but for those aspects I can sacrifice asthetics. They don’t have to look pretty. Also, I’m no audio expert so it’s okay if other brands are known to perform better, as long as the pair I choose still perform well.Thanks to the reviews from these good patrons of Amazon, I decided on the JVC HA-RX900. The RX700 also had great reviews but the softer ear pads gave these the edge. 5-stars to Amazon and the merchant for speedy delivery!LOOKS:The JVC’s weren’t much to look at on a computer screen, so I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the box. They are fairly attractive upon closer view. I like the black/dark gray colors. There’s little vents around the outside of the earpieces to allow some of the sound out. So they’re semi-open…or semi closed…not sure. I’m also not sure what the benefit is, but it looks pretty cool. There’s a subtlety to the design of these headphones I like very much.FEEL:The JVC’s are large and seem well constructed. Yet they are also lightweight, at least for their size. They feel good around my head, thanks to the very soft ear pads. There’s been no soreness from my ears, which is a relief. I’m trying to get used to the pressure overall from the both the mesh head-piece and the ear-pieces. It’s been quite a while since I had headphones like this. But they are far and away easier on me than those old Kenwood’s were. The JVC’s will stay on your head too. No way these babies are falling off while jamming out to some classic rock.SOUND:Man, these do sound good! I read somewhere that they sound better after about 80 hours of use. I’ll have to take their word for it because I have no intention of counting those hours. All I know is they sound terrific now! The bass is perfect. I half expected heavier bass from some reviews I read online, but the bass is neither too much, nor too little. All other audio aspects are excellent too. My Harman Kardon has a “Dolby Headphone” setting (or DH), which works nicely off 5.1 surround sound-based material (such as a DVD connected through a digital audio cable). But when listening to a CD, I find it best to play through normal stereo cables while switching off the DH setting (and on to BP for the “Bypass” setting) on my receiver for a more conventional stereo effect. In fact, it’s spectacular. Usually, when I play Creedence’s “Born on the Bayou”, I barely notice the clapping that joins in at the beginning. With these headphones, set to BP through stereo cables, the clapping is just as clear as the bass, drums and guitar, as well as the cowbell which comes later in the song. To top it off, John Fogerty’s roar is as powerful as ever! In other words, it passes the Creedence test! I also turned my cable onto some “Throwback Jamz” under the 5.1-supported DH setting to test the bass for good measure (what better way to test bass than to go old school hip hop?) and was delighted by the deep booms.So I’m thrilled with the JVC HA-RX900! Who knows? Perhaps on the 81st hour, I’ll say, “Hold on a minute, NOW it’s awesome! All those other hours were crap compared to this!”

My favorite headphones + Mod instructions
I’ve owned two other sets of headphones: Bose quietcomfort 15, sony md6 v6. These JVCs can hold their own to both – but you need to mod them first (see below). They just have different uses. I like the QC15 for flights (noise cancellation excellent but adds distortion), HARX900 for home / office (good sound and very comfortable but very clunky), V6 for on-the-go (best all-round phones – small, excellent sound, less comfortable than HARX900). If you’ve never owned a decent set of phones, buy these, mod them, then relisten to some of your favorites on cd or a high bit-rate source (spotify, not youtube). You’ll think that it’s a different recording, you hear so much more detail.Pros:+Excellent large driver with strong punchy bass – great for hip hop, EDM, top 40, anything with lots of bass+Decent highs and mids once you mod them (see below)+Extremely comfortable, wearable for many, many hours on end (I think I’ve worn these for 6 hours without even noticing them. Suffice it to say I get sick of listening to music much sooner than these get uncomfortable)+”Closed” so you won’t bother your neighbors as much as open headphonesCons:-Needs to be modded (only tool required is a small flathead screwdriver) to unleash full potential-A little unbalanced – I’ve noticed that the headphones have slightly different response at different frequencies. How do I know?[…]The sound should be right down the middle for all frequencies. With these, I noticed the sound moves left and right depending on the frequency. Not a big deal for me, since these are cheap headphones, and you’re still getting excellent drivers even if they are a little inconsistent.***MOD INSTRUCTIONS (you will not regret this – I’m 99% sure)***The phones have a felt filter that blocks out all the higher mids and highs. It’s really easy to remove, all you need is a screw driver.Just take off the soft ear cups, you’ll see a plastic guard with 2 screws. Take off the screws and the plastic guard and discard them. Behind the plastic guard you will see a layer of felt glued on. Scratch as much as you can off. I used a sharp kitchen knife. Poke holes through the felt so that the air can travel from the driver directly to your human sound receptors (aka ears). Be VERY CAREFUL you only poke through the felt, do not damage the driver that is right behind it. I might suggest using a pen or a sharpened pencil, because the width of the pen or pencil will prevent you from damaging the driver. The more felt you can scratch off, the better your phones will sound.Once you’re done scratching as much as you can, put the cups back on. Et voila – $200 headphones for $50 and 5 minutes of your time. I forgot to do this but I should have scratched one side, then do a sound test before scratching the other, to really appreciate the mod. I did both at the same time before testing them again, but you’ll really get to appreciate your work if you do one side first, do a sound test, then the other side. Once you scratch off the felt, the highs are much, much better – not more felt blocking the air flow! Try listening to some high female vocals – bliss.I have no idea why Panasonic would ruin such a sweet sounding set of phones by adding this crap in front of the driver – maybe they were trying to please low bit-rate listeners by softening the ugly digital sounds in the highs that you get with lower bit rate samples, or maybe they were going after bass music listeners (hip hop? EDM? trolls who buy dre beats headphones? I hope you didn’t by dre beats, they’re just $40 phones distorted to hell + $20 of marketing that they sell you for $200)Hands down the best sound $60 can buy. These aren’t quite the sony’s – those are studio monitor quality. But for first timers, they’re a HUGE upgrade from any sub-$60 phones you may already have, and definitely an upgrade from desktop speakers. You won’t believe the crap you were listening to before!

I bought JVC-HARX900 because these phones are better than SONY MDR V55 and SONY MDR 7506 I have been using for the last 2 years.Since my first cheap headphones were demolished by teeth of my lovely rabbit, I started to search for the best one no matter how expensive it should be.The first attempt.I was upset with cracking construction of SONY MDR V55 – but sounds loud and very nice. But these stuff are painful for my middle sized ears.The second attemptIt was worldwide popular old fashioned SONY MDR 7506 with very nice sound and ability to isolate me from the outer sounds and home noise. But these stuff are also painful for my ears. Moreover, when I feel a pressure on my head around ears I start breathing harder – maybe some acupuncture point is treated in wrong way….The third attempt was associated with a found of JVC boombox RV DP100 with made a deep impression on me with a quality of sounding as FM radio and CD/Cassette as well. So I decided to investigate the market on JVC headphones.By visiting both amazon.ca – amazon.com and amazon in UK I figured out the difference in reviews between people in America and Europe. I liked the taste of UK people and tried the JVC 900 instead of 700.What can I say? One month after the purchase I am totally satisfied as well as my ears/ The big size of these headphones provides me with a comfort I was looking for so long without success. What about sounds? I mostly listening the music and movies on the Internet. And I really like these phones!. I am currently watching a long lasting movie called Sheriff Walt Longmire – and I have to say I am so pleased to hear any tiny sounds in the forest or any other places on the movie…. Wonderful found. Sound is wider and deeper than SONY gives me. It makes me feel like I am exactly where the sound takes place in movie in front of Sheriff Longmire (This is funny but I found this movie thanks to Sheriff Longmire Jacket available on amazon.com/ca).RESUME.I do recommend these headphones for those who are looking for not just a perfect quality of “true colors” in sounding, but the comfort for head and ears firstly. Because to my mind any beautiful headphones become useless if does not provide a comfort at all.Buy it and try it. Good luck!P.S. If you want to know more about acupuncture points and the truth about health and longevity I invite you to read my book available on amazon – The secret of longevity or truth dissolved in water by Serguei F. Roudnev https://www.amazon.com/secret-longevity-truth-dissolved-water-ebook/dp/B016FRZ4WA/ref=pd_cart_vw_2_1?ie=UTF8&dpID=51kWuwK0Z6L&dpSrc=sims&preST=_SL500_UX300_PJku-sticker-v3%2CTopRight%2C0%2C-44_OU01_SR85%2C135_&psc=1&refRID=XNBXTN48HXTSFW5MV580#nav-subnav

My son has been using them for the past few months and they are of a good quality. He is hard on them and he has had no complaints. It is a good option for affordable middle to high end headphones.
Debashis Bose –
Very Comfortable. Full range sound. Quality bass but not punchy bass. Punchy bass loves will regret. Low output through mobile phone. Needs amplifier for proper sound

pro: good sound, confortable, inexpensive, quality materialscons : little too big, not for big ear, ear overheating after 1-2h.

These headphones are on the large and cumbersome side of the scale. Their 50mm dynamic drivers mean they can reproduce a massive frequency range and once they’re worn in the sound really warms up and you can safely hook up a headphone amp without worry as the impedance of these cans is quite high. An amplifier will bring out the potential of these big sound for little dollar cans. They’re a semi-closed back design. This means that they utilize a bass port ring around the the entire putter circumference of each ear cup. If you’re just getting into the hi-fi audio scene then these are by far the best option in anyone’s budget to get a feel for what you’re missing when you listen to a compressed audio mp3 file over FLAC or other formats that have lossless or cd like quality (which are huge in terms of storage space required for each file. My only gripe is the permanent 11 foot cable attached to the left side. Materials are not leather or suede or aluminum like high end headphones, but that’s where the cost kept down. JVC actually did a great job in the design and construction of the HARX-900 headphones.
