bogon07 Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 JVC HA-FX55wSpecifications:Frequency Response: 5Hz - 24,000HzNominal Impedance: 14ohmSensitivity: 95dB/1mWMax. Input: 20mWDriver Unit: 8.5mmhttp://www.jvc-australia.com/products/_pro...ils.asp?ID=1383Yesterday at JBL-HiFi I noticed these JVC earbuds @ $37AUD which have specs very similar (in terms of FreqResponse) to the Sony MDR-EX51, MDR-EX71 & Panasonic RP-HJE50 but half the price. They come with three sizes of buds which are in this case white to match the phones. The cord however has that cheap twice cable look about it. So far I've been quite impressed with their natural sound compared to the "forced" sound of my MDR-EX51s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bogon07 Posted August 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 After a few weeks these good pretty good for the price. The sound feels clear and natural so they can be used for extended periods without a fatigue that you have with some other earphones. Perhaps they won't appeal to those who listen to music with the loudness switch permanently on.I've found that the volume needs to be set a little higher than with the standard minidisc 'phones. The plug style earpieces reduce outside sound pretty well while keeping sound leakage to an absolute minimum and are fairly comfortable too.The main cause of concern is the cord which feels like 2.5m instead of 1.5m and I've used a plastic tie to bundle it up near the plug to the remote. The cord also transmits sounds if it rubs across your coat collar. The cord really needs a little more insulation on it. Unfortunately the store only had white which apart from making me feel like an iPlonker shows up the dirt easily. In summary: still happy with the purchase.
