Summary: Excellent Headphones for the cost
Review: After hearing a favorable review of these headphones from a friend on the internet, i was skeptical about them, given their relatively inexpensive cost.

However, when I recieved them and plugged them into my home stereo I was amazed at the Bass they delivered! I then tested them with my portable mp3 and cd players and found the same results, with slightly less volume, of course.

If you are looking for quality, inexpensive headphones, then these are for you.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not the best, but good anyway.
Review: 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.

Summary: mixed bag
Review: I bought these after reading some good reviews and found that they worked well with my home stereo but there was always some background noise. They did not work with my sony MD player and that was the main reason for me buying them. If you are not to picky and just like loud music these are surprisingly good. They are also very comfortable. However, for more complex and or subtle listening it would be wiser in the long run to go up the ladder a bit.

Summary: Great Home Stereo Speakers
Review: 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!

Summary: Not for portables
Review: I purchased these pair of headphones for both my home stereo and portable stereo needs. The sound quality was better than average - and for it's price excellent - when listening to a home stereo system. However I would definately NOT recommend purchasing these headphones if you plan to listen to portables. I listened through my portable CD player and minidisc player and found that I needed to turn the volume nearly to it's max to hear music at the proper level. It seems to deliver the high and low frequencies well, but the midrange is quite low.

The earpieces are probably the most confortable that I've ever used, but the 9 foot chord is way too long.

Summary: Excellent headset for classical music listener! :-),
Review: 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.
