JVC HAS700 versus JVC Flats-HAS150?

[roark37]

Hi, I was wondering if the JVC HAS700 has the same type of sound as the JVC Flats-HAS150 or 160.  I have the Flats and actually like them and think they are a good low budget choice but was looking for similar but hopefully better with much better comfort.  For those that have heard them both does the HAS700 seem to fit that description?  Also is the HAS600 essentially the same headphone as the HAS700?  Thanks.

I have both and I like them for different purposes. I think the s700 offers a more solid bottom end along with greater comfort and very decent isolation. For around or less than $30 I recommend them.

I don't know if there have been a comparison of the HAS700 and HAS600 but believe it or not. I like the HAS600s better in every way.. It is more fun listening phone.. The Carbon Fiber diaphram on the HAS600s throws out not only better bass but over all sound is cleaner, smoother and imaging better Imo. The sound on the HAS700. The mids on them I find kinda weird almost a scooped out sound to it..The bass is no where close to the HAS600s. The HAS600s after a good 50 hours of burn sound great and the bass a lot more pronounced. The drivers vibrate violently  when them bass notes hit the lows. I find the HAS600s much more musical and better sounding over the HAS700. One of the best portable isolating phones for the price. Many skip on the HAS600s just because of the number scheme.
 
Everyone thinks the HAS700s are better because of how it is named but I find the sound of them dull in comparison to the HAS600s. I was very surprised when I got my HAS700s and they didn't sound better to my ears in any way..The HAS700s have same specs as the HAS600 but use standard Neodymium Drivers.. This makes the phones sound kinda dull in comparison. Not too many guys will tell you about the HAS600s but they were a complete surprise to me when they beat out my HD238 and HD203 Sennheisers in sounds with better dynamics and clean balanced sound for music...Out of the 2 I would definitely try the HAS600.
 
Oh yea the HAS160 are a freaking marvel, people here don't know much about those either..Think of the HAS600 as the proper upgrade to those. Avoid the HAS700s.
