How would that work with these headphones? Each driver has wires coming from them... 

  I opened them up (which was surprisingly very easy to do) and both wires from each driver is still attached. One of the wires is a little frayed, so maybe that's the problem? I guess I could detach the wiring and cut a few inches off and re-solder them, but then the cable would be even...

This is unbelievable...   I managed to yank the wires loose from where they insert into the headphones... Now my s500s don't work at all =( I got the wire tangled while I was squatting to get something from my bag and when I stood up the wire got caught on my knee and my knee yanked on wiring...

One year later... I'm just the regular listener. I listen to house/trance. I love the sound of these headphones, though this is only my second pair of headphones. The original pads have softened quite a bit and they are fairly comfortable now. I did buy the HM5 pads, which were the softest...

Just an update. I ended up getting the HM5 pads and the O rubber ring from ebay.   The HM5 pads are probably the most comfortable pads I have ever worn. They are so soft and comfy on the ears. I also find that my ears do not get sweaty. I can wear them for quite a long time and not get...

Quote: +1   When my HM5 pads arrive i'll post some pics. I need to find some O-rings though.

  Ohhh, I didn't scroll down to your other post. http://www.head-fi.org/t/621063/the-new-jvc-ha-s500-get-your-pic-idea-ready-for-the-21st-ha-s500-pic-for-cheapo-gear-day/3510#post_8929288 Got it. Thanks!

  Yeah, I checked the OP and I couldn't find any info about what music player you can use. So you can use any music player, cool. Thanks

  I'm not sure about the kbps on youtube and you're right, sometimes changing the quality doesn't change the sound quality. I only posted the youtube video because I was on youtube at the time, but the soundcloud links are usually always 320kbps so I should probably post those from now on. =D

You guys seem to love trance. I'm more of a house/hardstyle kinda EDM'er I like the build up, bigger drops, and the harder beats. Trance is too "trancey" for me? I've been jamming out to this quite a bit lately. It drops at 2:30 and I go into dance mode instantly =D...

  Great thanks!!! I'll definitely check it out.

  Where did you get the O-rings from cute?

I wasn't sure on the HM5 pads or the ATH pleathers, but based on the last few responses i'm glad I got the HM5's. Pretty excited now. Dsnuts, so you're saying you don't need to sew the HM5's?

  My HM5 pads should be coming in a few days. Hopefully, I can get the mod to work since I haven't sewn anything since grade 9 home ec. Really hoping for the best here.

  Yeah, I know that feel. I can't listen to music and study also, it's way too distracting. Wait, what are you doing on this forum then? haha Edit: Just curious: is there the model number on these headphones? It doesn't say S500 anywhere from what I can see, is it only me?

On an unrelated note, are all of you guys using the Sandisk Sansa Clip MP3 Players? Is there any reason why so many of you are using it? I am in need of a new mp3 player and was just going to get an iPod, but it seems like many of you are using the sansa so I might give that a go as it's so...

  Would you ship to Canada if I paid the extra shipping? On another note, my friend just bought the ATH M50's and wow. Those are pretty amazing as well. They fit way nicer on me and sound just as good imo. I kind of wish I just got the M50's as they seem so much more comfortable and they...

BTW, in case anyone was curious about the isolation of the headphones. They aren't very good, at least in regards to EDM music. I have them plugged into my laptop and on only one volume bar you can hear very subtle noise leak. I would not feel comfortable listening to music in the library...

  I'm not sure if I actually need an extension cable yet. I'll experiment a little bit first. But, good idea. This may be a stupid question, but you don't lose any sound performance by adding an extension cable do you? ie. if I bought a cheapo one off ebay will this suffice or should I get a...

I finally got my S500's after a total mess up with my package being delivered (Ordered on Oct 11 and I just got the package today...) And WOW these things sound amazing. I listen to EDM and all of the songs explode on these things. It's pretty unbelievable. I have two cons though: 1) After short...

Just wondering if any of you think the JVC S500 would be better than the new Tiesto AKG K67 or K167's?

I tried to search this but came up with nothing. Sorry if it's a repost.   Anyway, on a lot of other forums you can increase the number of posts viewed per page on threads. Currently, I can only view 15 posts per page. I tried to look in my user settings, but I can't find this option...

Quote: Interesting. I have the HA-M750's and they look exactly like these. I like the sound of the M750's. It's decent, but I can't wear them for long. Maybe an hour max? My ears start to hurt or get too sweaty. Hopefully the S500's don't have this problem as that's going to suck.  ...
