JVC HA-V570 Supra-Aural Headphones

Customer Reviews

I have nothing really against the JVC HA-V570 Headphones in terms of quality for the price. You get what you pay for. I was just looking for a cheap pair of headphones that I can use to listen to DVD's on my laptop.
These headphones don't have sound definition in bass, midrange, or treble. Although the bass and midrange are definately better than most cheap earbuds. They sound 'adequate' which means that they don't suck and they don't excel in anything clearly.
My biggest complaint is that I don't like the Supra-Aural/Monitor-style nature of the earcups on this headphone. From the picture I guessed incorrectly that the pads would be extremely soft and cushiony on my ears. They are soft, but not as soft as that! And the cups heat up my ears after just 20 minutes of usage. So just imagine a 2 hour movie! They were sweaty and uncomfortable, especially when lying down.
I have a set of Sony Supra-Aural headphones that are extremely light-weight and just sit lightly against my ears.
Plastic construction should hold up to normal abuse/wear-and-tear. The added 1/4" connector is nice and the extra cord length is great for moving around (although tangles are a pain).
The volume control included inline is also a great reason to buy this if you need a cheap pair of headphones; great addition. This is great if you are using it with a PC so you don't have to keep changing the sound level on the computer.
Now that I have more experience, I will avoid all closed-type/monitor-style headphones in the future.
These JVC's are good quality for the price but they are bulky and not very portable. So research and test out headphones in stores before you buy online!
I also own a pair of GRADO SR225 that I can reference these JVC to. Not even close! GRADO is superb quality. But the GRADO also suffers from listening fatigue after 2 hours of use! Not very comfortable earpads either. :(

I had an old pair of these and they finally broke in half after 3 years of use. For me, this is a decent set of headphones at a reasonable price. I used to use my old pair for monitoring when I worked on my music. They have great bass which I love. I've had pairs of headphones that had no bass whatsoever and that really sucked because I would listen to a track I had made and then when I would burn it to a cd to play in the car I saw that there was extreme muddy bass in it! With these they allow me to take a lot of the bass out of tracks I make. Once you could hear a clear crisp sound through the headphones without a lot of kick from the bass that meant that the track was clean enough to make it sound good in the car. These are not going to give you a super professional audio sound, but if you just want to monitor your music, or listen to audio lectures, etc. , these are a decent pair of headphones and they last a surprisingly long time. The only drop back with these is as they get older you start to get a static sound from the volume controller on them. I learned to just turn the volume controller on the headphones all the way up and then control my volume with whatever device I was hooked into.
