Review on JVC HARX500 Full Size Headphones Silver by Kevin Singh

Notes that should be obvious in the product description: These are stereo headphones with no microphone or an iPhone-style 'remote' button. The cable is not modular and cannot be replaced. After a dozen hours of wearing headphones, the pressure on almost every part of the ear begins to become uncomfortable. With headphones, the outer canal gets in the way, but with normal in-ear headphones, the pressure on the tragus and outer lobe starts to bother me. The JVC headphones are very large, more like headphones than headphones. Most of the pressure is not on the ears at all, but on the sides of the head. Out of the box, the headphones feel a bit light, which many associate with "cheap". This association is so strong that several well-known brands have added pieces with the sole purpose of weight gain! In fact, the lightness of this kit increases your comfort: less weight means less pressure on your ears and head. With an extra-long cord and lightweight design, these headphones are totally unsuitable for mobile listening, but a great addition to your workspace.
