JVC Xtreme Xplosives (Black) review

While most audiophiles value open headphones that emphasize balanced accuracy over artificial bass boosting, the popularity of digitally enhanced headphones like the Monster Beats by Dr. Dre Studio prove the average consumer's attraction to bass. JVC...

A unique Ring Port structure in the earpads gives the JVC HA-M5X full-size headphones a deep bass kick for a much lower price than competing models.

The headphones leak sound even at low volumes, exposing your music tastes to the world around you.

You'll get a kick out of the JVC HA-M5X headphones if you like music that emphasizes thundering bass, and their sturdy construction and adequate noise cancellation come at an affordable price.

"Great around the ear headphones for the price."

I have a pair of some premium noise-cancelling "Studio" gaudy headphones, and I don't exactly want to sweat all over them at the gym. With that said, the JVC Xtreme Xplosives are a magnificent value for the price. I listen to a lot of heavy rock and...

Cheaper than the leading gaudy headphones. The bass is in fact "Xplosive". Frequency response: 7Hz-23KHz. Not too many headphones sport a good freq response these days. I also dig the ridiculous aesthetic design.

Treble could be a little bit better.

Great around the ear headphones for the price.

Treble could be a little bit better. The actual headphone wires do not unplug from the headphones themselves. If they break at that point, you will have to fetch another pair. These are why I took half a star.

Great product for the price

I took the time to research several headphones before committing to buy this set. Although initially the size intimidated me, I have found that they do provide a great sound barrier. The bass and trebble ranges are superb and very much similar to the...
