JVC Reviews

For $..., I suppose these JVC HAV560 are pretty darn good. They offer good frequency range with well defined high's, decent mid range and solid bass delivery. The 40mm drivers seem to need a little more juice to fully hammer your eardrums, but should be fine for most sound sources. They are light and comfortable although I think I'd prefer a tighter fit and perhaps more rugged wires asn these are just a little thin. As usual I am partial to the in line volume control which these headphones have. All in all I think they are a bargain.

I bought these headphones for mainly home use and have been impressed with them. For the price range, the sound quality is great, and the bass in strong (a rarity in inexpensive headphones). They are quite comfortable, and are great for music or movies. The 9' cord may be a bit long for portables, but it's nice for movies/TV because you don't need to sit so close, or worry about yanking out the cord from your TV/receiver. The only reason they don't get 5 stars from me is because the power delivered to portables is not quite as high, but is acceptable. All in all, a great set of headphones for the buck!

Two Thumbs Up! When I tried this headset with some of classical music CDs ( DDD, ADD, AAD ) and OGG ( 500Kbps Max_Value ) files made by them ( I tested them! :-) ), it is very different from other general headsets. It expresses music and sound with more deep and sharp with very sophisticated voices; therefore, each of instruments in orchestra expresses its discrete sounds very cleary. :-) I think that it has huge value with the price. Low price with high quality sounds. :-) I'm also satisfied with the volume control in the headset, especially for the volume level. When I listen to a classical music, i turned on the volume level with 55/100%. It is too loud for me to listen a music over 60/100%. I really recommend this headset when you are especially a classical music listener. It will be excellent choice for you.

Noise cancellation is adequate considering the price.

Positives:
Handy retractable cord
Decent battery life
Comfortable

Negatives
Noise cancellation uneven between earcups

This is the second pair of these headphones I have tried. I returned the first pair because it seemed as though the cancellation was not equal on the left side. I even flipped the phones around and sure enough, one side sounded different. My second pair behaved in the same way and I concluded that the microphone on the top of the earcup must have been obstructed by the headband.

Overall, a good entry level setup however my next purchase will be the Sennheiser PXC 250. They offer better cancellation abilities and music reproduction. Or, if you really wish to go all out, there are the Bose. . .

I bought these to use with my Ipod, especially on long haul flights. They fold down to a compact size so are excellent for travel. Sound quality is excellent when listening to music. The full shell earphone is comfortable and the noise cancelling function cuts out a lot of low frequency sound. Priced in the middle of the range I think these are great value.

These headphones have a constant hiss, even when fully charged. The sound cuts out every few minutes for no reason, and the silence lasts for a few minutes too. Since there is "automatic" tuning, then there is no way to adjust the tuning to get a better, or any, signal.

This JVC is awesome for the price. My husband & I are "First Timers" with a Camcorder and this one was so easy getting started. In just a few short minutes we were filming!!! I love the 3.5 inch screen. Most cams are only 2.5. That was a great feature. There is so much more to play around with, but I'm sure we'll be pros in no time. I would reccomend this one to anyone.

Was lucky enough get in on this one for $219 during last weeks Friday Sale, and good thing I did, as it didn't last long! Works great out of the box, EXCELLENT quality and deals with low light situations nicely. Can connect it to any VCR or computer with S-Video connection (or analog RCA). Still, I probably wouldn't have paid $349 normal price. But it's really nice and very comprable to DV's. And I got a free case, tripod, and cleaning kit!
