JVC HAG55 Traditional Headphones with 50mm Driver (Silver)

Summary: Decent cans for the price
Review: I'm not a true audiophile, but to my untutored ears these headphones sound pretty decent. Bass is rich, and they're able to handle whatever volume my ears can tolerate without distortion. They're quite comfortable and would probably fit just about everyone, unless maybe you have a particularly small head.

I wouldn't describe the sound from these as spectacular, but you probably won't find anything spectacular in this price range. Overall, I'm pleased with them.

Summary: Great "cans" ! (in audiospeak)
Review: My good ol' Sony MDR-V6's finally gave up the ghost, so I was in the market for a replacement. After comparing endless reviews and specs, I figured I'd take an educated chance on these. (JVC for headphones? Whodathunkit? I began my search w/the usual suspects- Sennheiser,Koss,Sony etc.).
I strongly recommend these! They have 50mm drivers (which helps in every way) and have a wide frequency response (12-25k Hz. which is beyond the 20-20 audible spectrum- get an extra pair for your dog!). I was tempted to get the HAG77's, but the only difference is that the frequency response is even wider (10-25...get this extra pair if you have space alien friends!).
Happy listening!
