JVC HA-S900 High Grade Lightweight

For those earbudphobic users who favor portability over features, such as active noise cancellation, there is a category of headphones that includes over-the-ear speakers and compact designs. Within that, we have JVC's line of lightweight headphones,...

The JVC HA-S900 headphones feature a lightweight design and fold-flat earcups for easy portability. A hard-shell carrying case is also included. The cushioned earpads offer decent passive sound isolation, and the overall sound quality is good.

The headband of the JVC HA-S900 headphones feels cheap, and the cable isn't long enough to use for at-home applications without an extender. The package doesn't include airplane or quarter-inch adapters.

Frequent fliers who prefer over-the-ear headphones but yearn for a portable design should consider the JVC-HA-S900, which feature good sound quality and come with a slim carrying case.

Great Sound, lousy cord

I will keep this brief. Pros: ligthweight (4.1 ozs), earcups fold flat, balance sound (low,mids,highs), nice protective hard case. Cons: The cord; it is very thin and short (about 42 inches in length). The plug at the end looks and feels cheap. Just go...

Good sound for the price

My partner has a JVC headphones they used years ago as a professional DJ. I love them, but since they aren't mine tried these. They are good for the price, only complaint is that you can hear too much sound from the room. But they convey fantastic...

The best portable headphone I ever tried

When I received this from Amazon I was shocked by the quality: It is such a light plastic headphone, and it looks like a 20 bucks headphone. I cannot imagine that the original price is USD 120+. It is very different from other Japanese brand product....

The portability is a pleasure

what can you really say about headphones. I looked at quite a bit before settling on this choice. I thought it was well rounded for the quality, design and sound. I am very happy with my purchase.

Product Specifications

The JVC HA-S900 offers high quality sound reproduction in a lightweight, foldable over-the-ear headphone. The superior performance of HA-S900 is achieved through the new RING PORT structure, which bonds the carbon compound diaphragm to the ported ring that controls the diaphragm's movement (sound pressure level), providing greater detail across a wide frequency range. Further enhancing the listening experience are sound-insulating ear pads that effectively block out ambient sound while also providing a comfortable fit. The cushioned ear pads fold flat, so they're easily packed, and a carrying case is included. Other features include a gold-plated iPhone-compatible plug and a four-foot tangle-resistant cord.
