No carbon nanotubes these are traditional Neodymium drivers which has me shocked. So it seems we haven't seen the best that the old Ne drivers have to offer. It is the sound tuning that make these stand out. The black part of the housing is made out of thick rubber. These actually have excellent isolation. Better than the FX40 and almost no microphonics. I think these would make perfect gym buds. I never thought this level of proficiency would happen at this price for bass earphones..The crazy thing is these have solid detailed highs and mids with the bass. It is crazy. If this sound came out of my CKS77 I wouldn't have been surprised but coming out of a $16 earphone? Lol!
 
With the latest from JVC. I am honestly considering redoing this entire thread. As great as the previous Isurus and the Philips earphones was. Those vs these new JVCs. There is no comparisons what so ever. Both these earphones will have you guys wondering why we spend so much for $100 plus earphones.It is kinda alarming actually. I would be happy selling off over half of my collection and just use these 2.
 
I think I will cus I can.. I am gonna focus this thread on these 2 and say goodbye to the previous 2 earphones that was a great bang per buck earphones.. FX40>Isurus, FX101>SHE3580..  Not by a little either.

Of course, being a good hubby,  I'LL have to break them in for her.

 

 

[Dsnuts]

These are the Micd versions they are called the HA-FR201 As far as I know these are the same as the FX101 but with mic for phones.

 

[BGRoberts]

Yeah, the green ones caught my eye as well.
And I know you're right, I'll wind up with my own pair before all is said and done.

Congrats, BGRoberts!

I feel like a kid in a candy shop. Lol. And I am still waiting on fellas all getting their FX40s and these FX101s drop on my lap. Lol! Forget this thread forget I mentioned how these sound. Just go about looking into more expensive stuff.. Nothing to see here..

I finally figured out what Dsnuts really is. He's a Siren from Greek mythology, drawing our wallets to their deaths on the rocks.

Lol!!  You aren't into bassy earphones so you got the right ones..But then again you do have the FX700s. Lol!
 
The FX40 for people who want the clean detailed sound. Acoustics, vocals, Jazz, Classical. You know who you are. But these do bassy tunes well too. 
 
The FX101 for people who want more than just bass but also detailed highs and full mids too. Hiphop, EDM. You know who you are too. If you guys are just into good sound period.. Both.

I needed some bassy iems! :O

Give these $16 JVC FX101s a try.. These are gonna surprise like you wouldn't believe.. I just got them not 5 hours or so ago and these blow the doors off of so many bassy iems it isn't funny.
 
Not only do these have proper bass for bassy earphones but they have a proper sound. Something that was hard to achieve unless you was willing to spend $100 or so..Just ridiculous what JVC is offering for so little. I will tell you guys right now. The Velodyne Vpulse which cost $89 don't have the clarity of these..There are bassier iems but not one with the balance or clarity these have with the big bass. Gotta listen some more. will report back with some burn.
 
Ya so this is not an exaggeration. Quality bassy sound for this price Just simply don't exist until now. Fans of the SHE3580 will definitely want to try these out. At this point in all honesty I have no idea which one is gonna be more popular over the other but. Seriously. Everyone must try both these JVCs. Both these have different sound they do their respective sound signatures too great not to hear.. I can't wait for the FXD80.
 
What is interesting is to me it seems both AT and JVC are stepping up huge in the earphone SQ department. The SQ for this price is crazy.  Eke I bet you once you hear what the FX40 sound like there is a good chance you might want to get these too. You want to try out basically JVCs take on the Solid bass series from AT. These are silly in every sense of the word. Wait till BG heres these I can't wait till you here these my friend. You of all people will have probably the exact same taste as I do so without a doubt it in my mind. Wait till you hear these. Lol! On OPEN box. No burn straight to source. 
 
$16 > $89> $55

 

[Dsnuts]

I hate to admit it but. These smash the CKM50s a new one. Lol!
 
After 6 hours of burn.. Oh man I am speechless. This cannot sound this good for this price. To my complete surprise these sound too good to be true to be completely honest. The sound is airy, clean wide stage musical deep.  The mids are full on balanced and clear as day..Someone tell me I am crazy. Cuz I feel like I am going crazy here. I am having a hard time with this. I can't comprehend what I am hearing from these. Now I have no idea which one I am more impressed with. 
 
JVC went with clarity and balance for less bassier XX series. The results. This is the sweetest I think I have ever heard Smokey sing. I second that emotion. Cus you'all need to hear a true classic.

.. Smooth just smooth..More impressions to come..
 
The FX40 has the leg up on speed but these sound amazing..Anyone thinking these will sound like a small improvement in the bassy yet fun FX1X.. There is no comparison. These frankly dont sound anything like them at all.  This aren't just an improvement.. These are special.. You all can laugh now. but wait till you hear them and then we will see who is gonna be laughing.
 
These sound too crazy.

Try the JVC Riptidz. Quite impressive for $8.
 
I think the Panasonic RP-HJE355 is also impressive thought at $20, and the Panasonic RP-HJE140 is quite nice for $8.
 
The JVC HA-S160 Flats headphone sounds quite nice at $13. It is my favorite headphone under $40.

 

[phantompersona]

It's so exciting when you find a new bang for the buck iem Dsnuts. Keep up the good work I'll be sure to pick up fx101's soon.

Well at least they're little rocks. My wallet can take a pounding of little rocks.

I bought both the 40's and the 101's.. 40's for me, but my girlfriend wanted green headphones with a mic, WISH GRANTED
