I am really sorry this happened on 2-pairs of JVC's! Its a real nightmare when something you love breaks on you. Thats what is happening to my TV right now. LED's are going out and flickering, and dark spots are showing on bright screens, its terrible. Its even worse when you know something is dieing or is broken, but you don't have the money to replace it right now. I myself have been curious as to what the proper replacement to the JVC's cans were going to be. I've heard very few recommendations from people on the subject, probably cause there is not a whole lot out there that can match what JVC's do. I think I am aware of the bluetooth JVC cans you are talking about.
And to answer your question, you can't amp a bluetooth can, they have their own op-amps that operate off the battery. But you can EQ them still, although I find that bluetooth cans seem to not take EQ as well as big wired cans. I also own the Cowin E7 Pro's, which are a popular bluetooth can that uses 40mm drivers. They actually sound pretty good for their driver size, but obviously don't compare to a JVC 55mm Kelton Nano Tube driver lol. But when I raze the bass on my tablet app, it makes the bass a bit muddied on the Cowin E7 Pro's. I am going to look up those V-Moda Crossfades LP2 cans.
So far, I've been quite lucky that mine have not snapped. Its really unfortunate that it has happened to so many JVC owners, that we can obviously see a pattern here. Its also unfortunate that JVC has no interest in supporting the basshead community. But waiting for a company to put out a product you want, is like waiting for the government to solve its problems. In other words, it probably aint gonna happen. And were going to have to jump ship to somebody elses product to get what we want. Please give us a full review on the V-Moda Crossfades LP2 when you get a chance.
Ha, thank you for your sympathy.
Ya, shame, I had even used friction tape to reinforce where the 1st pair snapped. Guess I should have reinforced every moving part, heh.
Yeah, you're right about JVC keeping up with their consumers. I've searched high and low and nothing has as much bass as their SZ2000/1000. I've tasted the forbidden fruit and now must downgrade a bit, ha.
Which is ok. I'll keep living. If I really have the time it's still possible I might be able to fix them, initially it was just reattaching the plastic break, tried few methods, super glue gave out, and because only thing keeping the huge earcup on was the 2 little wires, one eventually severed and so gave up on plastic fixes. Would have to fix wiring first, which at first glance would be tricky if not impossible. Well, I guess I could cut both cords and solder same gauge. But still need find a way to get at them (only like 1/4 inch is visible).
Anyway, I've tested the Crossfade LP2s enough to be satisfied. Used frequency app and with the amp, from 20HZ to 80HZ with ZERO distortion, full volume on amp and phone.
Possible I might exchange them out for the V-Moda Crossfade M-100s, about 100$ more, but I guess they're, uh, better? I forget why or specs, ha, but most people, including on hear, suggest the m100s almost 10 ot 10 times.
Yeah, I know you can't amp wireless, although.....I have the Sony - XB950B1 Extra Bass Wireless Over-the-Ear Headphones and they do include an optional TRRS cable. Haven't tested with amp though. They're no SZs or even Crossfades, but dang, for wireless, I actually use them a lot, and have a few apps that have gain adjustments past what my iphone volume goes to.
Anyway...will try to report on any updates.
