JVC HAS4X Xtreme Xplosives vs HAM5X heaphones

[DexterMorgan]

 How do the two compare to each other

Right now I can get (in Europe) the HAS4x for $32 and the HAM5x for $48. Is the HAM5X worth the $16 upgrade?

The HAM5X is worth the extra $16 because it has larger drivers, 10mm big than the drivers in the HAS4X, so you get a advantage of achieving deeper sounding bass from the HAM5X.

The sound is about the same; both aren't very good headphones for general listening, but they are bass monsters that push a lot of the low-end. I prefer the M5X due to comfort issues. I haven't had much time A/B-ing them, but I think the bigger can has the ever-so-slight edge in sound quality.
