Reddit mentions of JVC HAFX1X Headphone Xtreme-Xplosivs

Looking for a good pair of headphones for listening to musis and gaming on my laptop.

Budget: Flexible around $100

Source: My laptop (I use it as a desktop so I do not need these headphones to be portable)

Type of Headphone: Closed Headphones

Preferred Tonal Balance: Semi balanced leaning towards bass but still able to have a wide range. (I'm new to this so if you think this is wrong for the type of music I am listening to just tell my please)

Past Headphones: JVC IEMS. I still have them and will continue to use them for portable use.

Preferred Music: Electronic( Nightcore, Nightstep, Dubstep, House, Trap, Glitch Hop, etc.) Classic Rock.

Location: USA

Headphones I am looking at right now: Right now I have had Sony MDR10Rs, Shure SRH440s, and V-MODA Crossfade LPs all recommended for me and I think they suit what I am looking for and want to know your opinions.

Side Note I have also been recommended m50's by audiotechnica but someone else here said they are uncomfortable and have too narrow a soundstage for gaming.

I've bought these earbuds twice now and I love them. Heavy bass but its not overpowering, everything sounds crystal clear. The only reason I had to re-buy them is because I stepped on my last pair and broke them. Not sure if this is exactly what you're looking or, but these are my suggestions for cheap earbuds.

1) JVC HAFX1X

2) G-Shock GA-100 1A2ER

3) Keys with bottle opener and SanDisk 8GB USB

Not included - Nexus 4, 16GB, no case.

JVC Etremes. I went on Amazon when I wanted to buy a new pair of earphones, sorted by 'top rated' at the time. These come top out of around 5000 listings. I always assumed JVC to be a crappy brand til I got these I love them! I love electro music and they blast so much bass. On sale for around £12 aswell! Great value.

I bought some of these recently. Probably the best I've had for a long time.

JVC all the way i cant find the exact ones online but future shop sells a really nice pair called vc HAFX1X Xtreme-Xplosive Headphones. The cables are really think excellent sound quality and gold connector. They retail about 60 bucks and i love them. Lost my last pair had them for about a year only head phones i have had that never severed inside or broke in anyway 10/10!

Edit i lied i found them also 40 bucks off amazon; Id get them if i was you

These are the greatest earbuds i have ever had. Their drivers are huge, making the audio quality and bass quality amazing. Also they are $30 and are completely worth it as the only earbuds which have come close to the quality of these are more than $70. They are amazing.

I've had these ones for about 2 years, they've been through the wash about 3 times and they still work fine. Best £12 I ever spent

Anyone considering these might also want to look at
these awesome buds from JVC, they have a fantastic range, and thanks to their huge drivers for earbuds, have great bass without having to change the sound. Highs, mids, and lows are all really clear.

I'd go for the
JVC Xtreme Xplosive

Really great pair

I have these and they used to fall out now and then (they're pretty snug), until I changed where the cord runs. I used to run it down my back, out my sleeve and into my phone- now I just let them hang down my chest and push the excess cord under the armband.

It's the little things :)

Hey guys hopefully you can help me decide on my first good pair of headphones
Budget - $200,somewhat flexible
Source - iMac, Android smartphone
Requirements for Isolation - I will mainly use these at home, but I would still like a good amount of isolation
Preferred Type of Headphone - full sized
Preferred tonal balance - I am really not sure what I want; I enjoy bass and mids, but if I had to choose, I'd rather have clear vocals over bass.
Past headphones - JVC HAFX1X -  http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004S7Q8CA?pc_redir=1413179178&robot_redir=1
I found them bass heavy but lacking a lot of clarity.

Sony MDRZX300 -  http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005GXDDVO?pc_redir=1413200557&robot_redir=1
I found these to sound somewhat boring.

Preferred Music - I mainly listen to alternative, indie, rock, and pop. Some artists I listen to are: imagine dragons, AFI, two door cinema club , capital cities.

Location -US
Other notes :
I have heard a lot of good things about the ath m50x, and Beyer custom one pro. I definitely need removable cables.

For a cheap pair of headphones that are durable and sound good I'd recommend the JVC xx ear buds, I bought them for $25 dollars about three years ago and they still work great. They're the first pair of ear buds I've had that haven't had one side go out after a couple months.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004S7Q8CA?cache=38d33502656b412dad9758f70a54bd06&pi=SX200_QL40&qid=1409460769&sr=8-1#ref=mp_s_a_1_1

There are earbuds with decent bass, just have to get ones that specifically focus on having good bass.

Had these ones for 3 years so far

I've had good luck with the JCV Extreme Explosives

They're on sale on Amazon all the time (under $30.00 usually from $40.00 retail)

I really liked my JVC XX headphones. I want a pair that is similar to these but bluetooth. What is available? I want to stay under 100.

Quite a fan of JVC Extreme, they sit very well in my ear and with such a deep in ear part, the sound is properly isolated. Very durable, long cord and only £15 odd delivered in the UK.

JVC Xtreme Xplosive line is great for bassheads, so long as you don't want to lay on your side while they're in as they stick out further than regular in-canal headphones.

JVC HAFR201R Xtreme-Xplosiv Headphones (with mic)

I have these (no mic) and they're outstanding.

This may be good or the GR 07 Bass edition is another good option for it.

RHA MA390 Universal seems to be another good choice for the low end.

Earbuds like Apples white ones? Sure, the sound is tinny, with little bass, and a harsh top end. Not to mention the high sound leakage, and the fact they fall out often.

But IEMs? (In Ear Monitors) totally different. They create a seal in your ear, so you are isolated from the outside world (which has its pros and cons) The level of seal depends on the sleeve you use. I like comply foam squishy tips, if you use a silicone rubber you get a more complete seal with more bass than you would ever think possible from such a small enclosure.

If you want to try without breaking the bank, pick up [these] which are a great starter pair of this style of earphone.(http://www.amazon.co.uk/JVC-HAFX1X-Xtreme-Xplosives-Headphones/dp/B004S7Q8CA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1449595243&sr=8-1&keywords=jvc+xx)

These are the earbuds I'm using: http://www.amazon.com/JVC-HAFX1X-Headphone-Xtreme-Xplosivs/dp/B004S7Q8CA

Will have to try another pair and see if it makes a difference.

EDIT: tried another set of genetic earbuds, didn't do it. Went back to the JVCs, not doing it again for now.

These JVC IEM's are an awesome pair of headphones, only £16 and they have a ton of bass, it may sometimes be overpowering but i love them. I only really use them when i go to the gym but they are a great pair and if your looking for bass + your style of music im sure you wont be disappointed.

Budget: $20-40

Source: Everything, really, but mostly my laptop (nothing fancy)

Music: Similarly, all purpose. Nothing too heavy on either end, no house or EDM.

Isolation: Rather have it than not, but I'm not too picky.

Type: Earbud or IEM. Over-ear headphones are uncomfortable.

Previous: Currently use these JVC Xtreme Xplosives for my computer and occasionally my devices. They're good, fairly comfortable. Had them for almost four years and starting to show some wear. Also have gone through three pairs of the $8 classic Panasonic buds which I use mainly while working out. Very unglamorous but reliable

Tonal balance: Balanced or V shaped.

Improvement: I prefer an L shaped jack over a straight jack (I don't know any of the technical terms, I'm a newbie).

Currently looking at Xiaomi Hybrid IEMs and Symphonised NRG IEM but super open to suggestions. Thanks!

The box comes with these they're decent headphones for the price.

Budget - max 250€
Source - Android Smartphone, Computer
Requirements for Isolation - Not necessary, but would be good to have.
Will you be using these Headphones in Public? Yes
Preferred Type of Headphone - Over ear
Preferred tonal balance - Balanced with a good bass.
Past headphones - JVC HA-FX1X-E Xtreme Xplosives for Android, Logitech G430 for my Computer
Preferred Music - I listen to a lot of different things, this is my current playlist
What would you like to improve on from your set-up - Overall better sound quality.
Location: Germany

Would also be nice to be useable in the gym.

Other Information: I was in an electric store a few hours ago (german media markt) and I tryed a pair of headphones for a minute and had to go after that because my train was about to arrive. I had to pair them with my phone to test them and the linked device was the Bose AE2 SoundLink, they were really comfortable and sounded really nice to me. They were 329€ in the market tho and this is what I found on amazon, it doesnt say Ae2 tho, only around ear. I'm not sure if it is the one I tested. Maybe you guys know.
Something around the sound range of these would be very fitting for me.

I've never been a big Audiophile, I enjoy my music/ movies/ game sounds generally with these cheap speakers


and use these earphones more on the go but also to plug into the speakers if I'm playing games late




What I am looking into getting is a decent pair of headphones, good sound quality, microphone, wireless, ability to be plugged in (would that improve the sound?, also for non Bluetooth devices), the bluetooth is not a required feature but I haven't found wireless headphones with a microphone.

I'm looking at these headphones and was wondering if anyone had an opinion on these or has a better option?


Also I'd be running them off of onboard audio and a bluetooth dongle if I get a bluetooth one


I'm not looking to spend too much on them, maybe up to about £60. Any help would be appreciated!

i use the JVC HAFX1X ---- $30

As the M8 has a great sound driver, it automatically increases the quality of the earbuds
It also has some great review, but have in mind that after 2 weeks of usage, it can get a bit uncomfortable.

I had a pair of these and they were absolute garbage. They were pretty much all bass https://www.amazon.com/JVC-HAFX1X-Headphone-Xtreme-Xplosivs/dp/B004S7Q8CA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1487984173&sr=8-2&keywords=jvc+xx

JVC Xplosives
http://www.amazon.co.uk/JVC-HAFX1X-Xtreme-Xplosives-Headphones/dp/B004S7Q8CA

First time visiting this sub, so hopefully I give enough details for someone to help me.

Budget - £50ish max

Source - iPhone and PC

Requirements for Isolation - Some. Will be used at home and travelling.

Preferred Type of Headphone - IEM I think.

Preferred tonal balance - I'm not sure to be honest, perhaps somebody could advise me based on my preferred music. Definitely not a basshead though.

Past headphones - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B004S7Q8CA/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1409059657&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX110_SY165
I liked the way they sat in my ear, they were comfortable. But were maybe a little loose. But they weren't very durable, broke within months both times, I had 2 pairs.

Preferred Music - Mainly women, so a higher pitch in general I think. Gabrielle Aplin, Nina Nesbitt, A Fine Frenzy, Sara Bareilles, Tristan Prettyman, Birdy. And the men I listen to are Ed Sheeran and Passenger.

Hopefully that's enough info to help me, from my research I was leaning towards the RHA MA450i Noise Isolating In Ear Earphones with Remote and Microphone https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B008ET9VY0/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_9Bi.tb1VRJEHM

JVC Xtreme Xplosive earbuds - <$30

JVC Xtreme Xplosive over ear headphones - <$50

I have compared these to beats and there's very little difference. Beats have a bit more mid-bass, but it sounds almost muffled compared to the JVCs. Beats also have a bit more high range, but it's not $200 worth of highs. If beats were a 10, JVC XX is a solid 9.8.

They also last MUCH longer than skullcandy or apple earbuds. (The only ones I've managed to wear out multiple pairs of.)

Ill prolly just save up and get a good $100+ set one day.....any recommendations for over ear /open ear?



buddy of mine has these but the wired version and they're not bad. :P

I use Xtreme Xplosivs. They're easily the best quality earbud I've ever owned, and they're very reasonably priced. My old pair lasted 2 years before the left ear bud went out (probably due to the way I wrap them around my phone in my pocket without removing them from the port). They do get slightly uncomfortable after extended use - like 2+ hours of consistent listening.

I only really use earbuds because of their portability. When I'm at home, I use these Sennheisers which are very comfortable and sound great. Like you mentioned, they will mess up your hair and matt it down where the band goes over your head, but when I'm at home, I don't mind sacrificing my looks for comfort and superior sound, lol. Also, a quick ballcap usually satisfies the situation.

Check out the jvc hafx1x I've had mine for almost two years. They've been run over, rained on, gone through the washer and dryer multiple times and still sound amazing. They have great bass too and fit in your ear great.

Hi! first time posting, looking to buy a new pair of earphones, im not very fond of IEM but i think thats what i'll get since i plan on using it for music mainly, to follow the format

Source: ipod classic

Budget: up to 35$

Genres that i listen to: synth-pop, chiptunes, alternative rock and podcasts

i've been searching for one that is confortable and affordable, i dont expect to get the best experience, but i'd love to get the most out of my budget.

After looking at the lists the JVC HAFX1X seems like the one im looking for but im not sure that is the best for me.
Some background: i love my Sennheiser HD205 but after breaking the wires twice i've decided i need a smaller set of headphones/earphones to use it in the bus.

I got some of these - really impressed. Cheap as chips and sturdy as hell - they've survived being wrenched out of my ears and slammed into weights. Sound quality is nice too.

I just stick my phone in my pocket and run the headphones into my ears. Only gets in the way during deadlifts and shrugs.

JVC Xtreme Xplosive line of earphones are my go to ones. They can last a year, sound great and only cost ~£15...though, that is on sale. They seem to cost £25 normally. Though, they are on sale a lot.

Has noone mentioned THESE?? http://www.amazon.com/JVC-HAFX1X-Headphone-Xtreme-Xplosivs/dp/B004S7Q8CA/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1406024613&sr=1-1&keywords=jvc+xxx+earbuds

Really good pair. Recommended them to alot of friends and they prefer them over some of the cheaper ones they brought in the past.
