Hello,
 
I started looking for new headphones today and saw this site, seems very professional.
I saw this article that help me understand things around, and I found those headphones that seems cool:
[size=14.285714149475098px](1) JVC HARX700, $30-$65. "A poor mans A700." Thumpy/muddy bass, decent mids, decent highs.[/size]
 
I saw that this article was around 2 years old so I decided to ask here in the forum before I buy.
 
The things I need:
* Closed headphones, most of my time with headphones is spent inside a bus.
* Optional - Foldable, I'm traveling a lot, this are not going to be home headphones. If there are no good foldable headphones I can live without it.
* Maybe a good online shop that have good prices and international shipping with low cost (I need shipping for Israel).
 
Thanks a lot, and if I need to fill in some more details please let me know!

JVC HA-S400 or HA-S500 folding headphones, really nice audio quality.
I own the HA-S500-Z (Gunmetal gray).
They are on ear headphones, not over ear headphones

Thanks for the quick reply :)
They look really cool, what the meaning of the letter in the end (b,z etc)? Are they better then the harx700? 

The "Z" is for the color (Gunmetal Gray), the black versions have a "B".
The S400/S500 come with Carbon nanotube diaphragm and I'm assuming the ZX700 are using a more "basic" material.
Also the HA-S400/HA-S500 are smaller and folding, so better as portables.

Ok, you convinced me, I think I will go for those :)
Does 40$ is a fair price for them?
I found on ebay someone from japan who sells them in 40$ and 16$ shipment.

My HA-S500-Z were shipped to me from Japan, paid $76.
So $56 sounds fair.
