EXTREMELY DURABLE AND MUST BUY EARPHONES!
Well R.I.P to the best earphones I've ever purchased! I ordered these back in 2018 and I've loved them from the unboxing until they met their final demise! They have been through a lot from being washed/dried TWICE! and stood on a number of times!Then I broke them, yes it was my fault I came straight to Amazon to order a new pair and I went and had a look at different pairs before landing on the same ones again!110% recommend these! Not only are they extremely durable they also have great sound quality and the curved earbud that goes into the ear is something I really loved!
Thank you for your feedback

Well, originally i owned an Creative EP-630, and that Earphone alone was top notch. Compared to my old earphones and headphones that doesn't provide any noise cancelling ear buds, the Creative EP-630 had a really top of the category sound and is really worth the price. And originally buying it at the price of 7 quid, now its at 10 quid looking at how high the demand of the existing headphone created by Creative Tech.

But sadly mine got broken, still works but you need to spin the earphone around and around until it starts to work again and i thought it was mainly caused by being pulled up. And was literally my own fault for sleeping while using it knowing i really move alot while asleep i probably pulled the wires connected to the earphone's causing it to malfunction.

Thats when i though of buying new Earphones and said, why not try something new? then i found this JVC HAFX1X Xtreme as a recommendation.

And in my opinion it is a decent headphone together with the EP 630 that i used to use. Although it has it draw backs compared to the EP 630.

Mainly the HAFX1X Pro's:

>Aesthetically it looks really nice together with that red and black color's

>>The wire is decent in length and the wire is solid copper and pretty stiff they havent tangled that much for me so far which is good

>>>The sound quality is good as well and its as good as the EP 630

>>>> Originally both this JVC HAFX1X and the the EP 630 had the same price so i guess it was just a matter of changing the prices but both earphones perform great!

>>>>and the Noise cancelling works pretty well! but avoid using them while crossing the road! or riding a bicycle/motorcycle

Yes i think this is a good value for money, But together with The pro's on all existing products, they will most of the time also have the Con's, but this con's are mainly things that i found after using it now for 2 weeks.

Con's:

>well ive read some stuff on the reviews section and did found people saying the bass is rather too much, and i guess i have to agree with this. Depending on the soundtrack's i play and mostly they are Progressive rock, Melodic Rock, Alternative Rock, Psychedelic rock, etc. etc. and mostly instrumental's mainly listening to them while walking or doing something and making the things i do (walking, reading, Jogging etc) as the vocal for t he instrumental i mostly listen. The Bass is too much that the other sound and tunes are being overshadowed by the base. Also when i do have soundtracks with vocal, again that vocal is overshadowed by the bass, you barely hear other sound since the bass is beating that hard. But in some of the tracks i listen too the Bass doesn't act up to them.

>> the wire is probably too stiff and as always i try to tape the wire on the 3.5mm audio jack to avoid it being strained when accidentally being pulled or pressed, since its the main reasons why my headphones or earphones starts to stop working. Mainly because of the wire getting pulled. Its just that i feel its more prone to getting damage from the inside from getting pulled because the wire is more stiff (solid copper) and that its also stiff on the 3.5mm audio jack to wire connection.

Anyways its just me, overall this Earphones are good! Currently using it but still gonna get myself a new Pair of Creative EP 630 though before that version ran's out and before its prices sky rockets!

But yes both Earphones are of top quality!

And ! i don't suggest using earphones listening to soothing soundtracks while falling asleep! its imminent death for the good earphones! :<

Having just bought this set of earphones & played about with them for 2 days, I thought I would give them one of my typically subjective long-winded yet dispassionate reviews.

I somehow lost my previously-loved Creative EP 630 earphones, which are re-badged Sennheisers, btw, so I needed something to replace the atrocious Apple earpods supplied with my iPod & to listen to & watch iPlayer TV on my Kindle Fire HD.

These fit the bill precisely. The JVC plastic carton in which theyre supplied needs a chainsaw to open, as has been previously mentioned, but after 10 minutes of hacking, eventually youre presented with the product. The actual ear canal phones are default-supplied with medium sized silicon ear-inserts on, which fit my earholes perfectly, but if youve super-small or gigantic lugholes, a pair of small & larger ones are supplied. The supplied case is also jolly useful, & unlike one of the revevers pics suggests, the actual earphones do fit inside the case quite happily, along with the wire, as theres not much point in leaving the breakable bits outside the case, is there? Anyway.....

The phones are a lot more durable-looking than my lost Creative/Sennheisers & the ear-canal bits go further inside my ear, so as effectively cut off outside noise & not fall out when I mow the lawn....they go in quite a long way & are supremely comfortable to wear. The wire is red. Now, never having heard of Dr. Dre, & his no-doubt super products & "music" , yet being aware of the brand through reviews of this product, I have yet to be questioned about whether or not theyre "Dres" by my septuagenarian neighbours whilst outside in the garden. The wires are twice the girth of my Creatives & Apple earphones, very robust & do not tangle & twist about themselves, which is a major plus compared to other thin-wired ones. Nor do they transmit rustly noises when touched. However, they are red, so be warned!

The Sound.

They are VERY LOUD. So turn down your volume before playing a track, then crank it up to taste. The base is punchy but not overtly overwhelming & drums particularly crisp & noticeable & the sound drills into your head very nicely, with good stereo separation. The higher frequency sounds are a tad exaggerated & marginally rough at full volume to my taste and the way these phones have been configured clearly muddies the midrange a bit. I used to be an audiophile, with fancy hifi setup & so on & highly critical, but Im not so fussy now.

But hey.....theyre 13 quid right now & you can always adjust the equalizer on your device to compensate, cant you?

Ive been assured by my wife that theres no external sound leakage also, even with the volume at 11. These things really go quite far into your ear, & probably also loosen any irritating earwax problem you may have, eventually, so thats another plus.

On my Kindle Fire HD watching TV programmes, the sound settles down, turned to mediumish & the ambient sounds in the production are faithfully produced & the stereo stunningly rendered.

Im very pleased with this purchase, & believe me, they beat the Creative 630s hands down in the budget stakes, stay in your ear whilst mowing the lawn & probably when running. I wouldnt know about the latter as I dont think running is a good idea unless youre being pursued by a zombie, but thats just me. For the price, an excellent choice, & the funky little box they supply means you shouldnt really lose them in your bag, if you remember to take the little box with you, that is.

All in all, an excellent product at a very reasonable price.

The black necklaces piece that attaches the cross to the chain came barely tightened to the point the cross pendant slipped off the attaching piece and because of how small it is, I can't squeeze it to tighten it in order to fix it nor can I get an exchange for it. So that's dope now I lost my necklace due to a fckn attachment piece being microscopic and unfixable on top of coming unattached to begin with
5.0 out of 5 stars These Are Amazing & They Gave Me An Exchange When Needed
Reviewed in the United States on 29 June 2024
These headphones are so freaking bomb and this is easily the best $26 I've ever spent. The sound performance, bass, and strength of these are absolutely insane and amazing, I can hear parts of songs and videos that are unable to be heard without them, like I literally have heard parts to songs that I have listened to for years that I've never noticed before. I absolutely love these headphones! The color makes them easily seen and is actually a really pretty red. Now, in full disclosure I did have my first pair end up having no sound in one of the buds out of no where! It made me really upset because I didn't have the money to replace them and I use these CONSTANTLY (easily 12 hours a day, sometimes I even use them to sleep AND I AM ABLE TO DROWN OUT MY BOYFRIENDS SNORING EVEN WITHOUT PLAYING RAIN VIDEOS WHICH IS A HUGE DEAL) but BUT THEN THEY GAVE ME AN EXCHANGE FOR FREE, THEY EVEN MAILED MY NEW PAIR INSTANTLY BEFORE I RETURNED MINE FOR FREE TO A UPS STORE! The stability, size, performance, and connection are ALL FRIGGIN TOP TEIR. I have literally stepped on them and they were fine! I weigh 220 so that's beyond the definition of stability to me and that's in sound and durability. I could go on and on but really all I need to say is BUY THEM.
YOU'RE SAFE IF THEY BREAK AND CAN RETURN IF BY SOME ODD MIRACLE U DON'T LIKE LOUD, BOMB, ASS BASSFUL HEADHPONES.

Reviewed in Canada on 27 October 2023
I love JVC buds but this lost a star because the bass wasn't as great as previous similar models-good but not drop dead great. I don't mean the boomy overdriven bass of some, just clear and deep. I appreciate a good bud for music and use bass pedal tones to evaluate the worthiness- and these are good. The vocal mid-range is fabulous for an earbud especially one under $25. JVC, fix the bass and you'll have a killer earbud for the price.

Reviewed in the United Arab Emirates on 19 June 2024
Disappointed with the sound and bass quality of this one for its price though it improves if you use an AmpDAC.
Youll get better bang for the buck in Chifi IEMs which has better build and quality but same price range or cheaper than this one.

Um fone de ouvido muito bem produzido, com ótimo acabamento e tamanho. O som é limpo e sem chiado. Só achei que os graves seriam mais acentuados, principalmente pelo anúncio, mas ficou devendo essa. Não tem nada de excepcional. O preço está dentro para o que oferece.
