Sony MDR-XB55AP black

I bought both headphones; the JVX Xtreme HA-FX1X, and the Sony MDR-XB55AP. IDK why I bought the Sony earbuds, although they are a tad bit better. The fact the JVCs are $23 (50% off), and sound just as good as the MDRs... I regret spending more money to get them. However, I bought them both because I wasn't sure if one was better than the other. They are both affordable; you get what you pay for... But both of them perform like $100 earbuds. And I don't think I would regret spending $100 on these. The difference would be that the Sony MDRs sound slightly crispier and clearer, and have a better ear fitment. If you have 50 bucks, and the 50% off discount on the JVCs is no longer available, then I would consider the Sony MDRs. But the value you get with the JVCs is pretty crazy, especially coming from using AirPods Pros, which have an annoying buzz when the bass hits. I guess they are toast. Nonetheless, the JVC and Sony are both amazing, huge bass; they make the AirPods Pro feel lesser, surprisingly. So, summary. Sony = Cleaner, crispier sound (high quality), some bass. Overall cleaner sound. JVC = BASS... Low bass, bigger driver. Good enough quality to listen to if you just need daily earbuds for anything. If you like music with big bass, get the JVC. If you want cleaner sound, get the Sony. If you have the money, get both. If you have even more money to blow, and like bass, and good quality sound, and you happen to want headphones, Skull Crusher ANC 2. Pay the price, you will not regret it. Heard them for the first time, with bass, nearly cried of happiness. Felt like I was in a concert. after from isolated for ions. it felt like i was somewhere. get them. doo it. don't think twice. I also wrote a review there :D

Excelente sonido

Never actually "felt" bass from a headset before, even expensive ones. The sound seems so clean, so full of detail. Makes me actually feel the emotion in the music. I feel like I am listening to a high priced audiophile system - with a subwoofer, no less! Very light and comfortable! It stays in ear while running, does not slip out. It blocks out a lot of ambient noise. I went to bed with this headset on, and was able to sleep on my side (depends on the pillow too, I think, but this headset was not too uncomfortable for side sleeping.) Calls are crisp and clear as well. The mic works great. I asked, and the other party said they could hear me very well. The remote button can take calls and hang up. Pressing the remote button once can play/pause media. Pressing it twice moves to the next track. If it could also control the volume, this headset would be the gold standard of headsets. Not fair to take a star off for that, for the headset does not claim to control volume.

The colour was slightly lighter than I expected but it actually matched my gray realme master GT unexpectedly well. Bass is really good for this formfactor. It's not a professional in ear monitor and the audio sounds like there is too much treble in music on higher volumes (over 75% on my device), but otherwise performs fairly well with movies and other media I've tested it with where the bassy tweak shines the most which suits my usecase perfectly.

Best headphones I've ever owned, it is a shame that these were discontinued in favour of the lower quality bluetooth options. I have a pair that is probably 15-16 years old, and still works great. These have the best bass and a full sound similar to a real surround sound system, and I'm glad I had the foresight to order a second pair in 2023 before knockoffs came into the market.
