I've found these 2 cheap headphones in a store, they look quite interesting.
I'm don't have much money or options here, so im looking to decide between these 2. I'm going to use them to watch movies in my pc and play CS 1.6. My sound card is integrated: Realtek ALC855 8 channel HD Audio.

I haven't hear the panasonic but i own the jvc HA-V570 and here are my thoughts

10FT cord good bass and comfy but they go on the ear and not around but musically they sound great and have no harshness to them but the panasonics look better suited for pc use.

Now for portability the jvc are good but i haven't tried them on a pc so to be safe I'd go for the panasonics but really for a good headset id check an online retailer like newegg.com they have a cheap headset for below $40 from eDIMENSIONAL that sounds phenomenal for the price. I'd try doing so more research but from what i know thats one of the best you can get for your money.

Happy Fraging dude

I just bought those JVC's, should arrive on Thursday. I just bought them for a laugh because I remember buying those for six bucks at a discount store and loving them in non-good headphones days. It would be interesting if I still think they're good.

I also saw the Behringer HPS3000 and HPM1000, how about those two?

Well, tumama, I finally recieved the JVC's. They aren't nearly as good as I thought they were long ago, and aren't nearly as good as a pair of Koss KSC75's, but with that said they aren't half-bad either, especially for what, $10 cans? At the very least they passed my dirt-low expectations.

Their biggest faults are a slightly echoey, uncrisp, and dry midrange, somewhat grainy highs, and iffy isolation. Just recieved them about five hours ago and don't know how much they will improve over time. Otherwise they've got good, albeit not the deepest, punchy, unboomy bass. This is something to praise as most sealings create boomy, overpowering and bloated bass response. While the bass is a tad strong on these, it's musical. and although their mids and highs aren't great, they're surely listenable. I'd place these above the Sennheiser HD202 sound-wise anyday.

Isolation-wise, however, these are an issue. They are the type that are open but isolate sound from people around you. At a moderate listening volume, with the earpads closed, they leak some but very little sound. But you can hear the surroundings.

The JVC HA-V570 costs here like USD 26 and i saw a pair of Koss PortaPro at USD 35. Maybe i should try the Koss and compare with the other 2.
