  And if anyone has the razer kraken test the bass out on them and have a change of underwear ready they are insane at producing the bass and cost so little and dont distort until a rediculous volume I urge all bassheads to try this headphone out you will be shocked.

when i saw them on "Did not make list" i thought they looked like gaming headsets.  I just checked right now... and they are...

Well god dang - check that slo-mo - it got serious clean sub bass air flo - no need to call fire brigade bro - jus' call the dudes with heavy in-car audio

Not only do these dudes put out fires, but the slo-mo sound can be sold to movie makers for helicopter effects - and that's all good to go, now you know

I'll have my 77x  at 23-25 July, eager to test SZ2k with 77x pads (and 77x itself).

Fooling around with 77x for 2 days - they are really good bugdet bass cans, they are ok with dubstep, boring with acoustic guitars and stuff. Swapped pads SZ2k<->77x - now SZ hits harder, but not hard enough, it seems like E12 is the next think I'm looking for in my guest for extreme bass

 Tried HBB's EQ settings for Ipad with foobar2000 with Equalizer APO+ 07K bass boost, it sounds and feels definitely better than Clear Bass + 07K. My 77x distort earlier than SZ2k, I know that's the result everyone get, but i feel like this is old version of 77x HBB mentioned somewhere else (maybe I'm just spoiled with SZ2k). Instructions look like this

It says HA-MR77x-J, but I found info only about HA-MR77x-E, if anyone with 77x can check out full name of cans printed on instruction it would be great.

Mine is printed ending with "-E" which I assume references to the region they are sold in Europe, and I'd think your J stood for Japan?

I might be wrong but I don't think this end prefix determines any technical variances.

But be under no illusion - the 77's are pure bred cannons - I've just picked up the American Audio HP 550's which also have same diameter 57mm drivers and are very good indeed - check the bass/paper test video a page back or so - but they don't hit as hard as the 77's - I'm guessing due to the JVC's "extreme deep bass ports" - whatever they are - my technical know how is pretty schiit - maybe HBB, gelocks or PocketSmiley can help out here - I'm also guessing that earcup chamber size plays a big part in bass response too, which the 77's in noticeably larger than the American Audios also?

HBB lives in Japan though I don't know if he purchased his 77's over there or back in the States, only other member who I know lives in the land of the rising sun is Currawong, but I'm pretty sure he doesn't own the 77's but he may have an idea whether the "J" prefix relates to region they are intended for (Japan), or not?

Me, pictured yesterday trying to understand bass science....

Mine don't have a manual...LOL

 
 
Yes...the cavernous cups help a lot with the low end response
 
I have never seen an inline mic control on any of the 77/30's here in Japan.

They run at their own speed over here.
I always wondered why there was no inline remote on any of the XX cans I owned??? Japanese are uber chatty with phones...what gives???
 
That bass candle test was just another version of what we are doing. A visual of low freq energy.
 
Science.......love that stuff!!

iphone compatible  apparently means it will plug into an iphone

Ref - translations link

Movie : Army of Darkness - Japanese translation = "Captain Supermarket" - that's priceless

Yeah, that dude with the serious car bass - all he did was wind his window down next to candles and use his remote to fan the candle flames controlling bass settings/vol - slo mo watching it is epic

LoL - video that gif was taken off is as classic as the model F-990's - not bad going for a pair of 1970 something cans, who'd have thought it?

​

These came to me from the States and the carriage cost more than the cans - think cans alone were only $22 USD!

I find these cans intriguing, as though they are in some way a portal back to there era and a taste of how some experienced headphones at that time, which I guess is what they are.

They are on the heavy side, but quite comfortable, sound is veiled and the bass when EQ'd is mighty meaty but very muddy and bloated, but that just adds to their charm, the SQ feels and sounds right for what they are if that makes sense? But these cans were made to last for sure and push bass air no problem.

Serious bit of vintage kit

That guy in the gif should have been wearing a pair of these before he lit his home made explosives and he might have only taken half the blast force to his face - lol

Seems to be a running theme here, even with these vintage classics - MADE IN JAPAN

I ordered mine from US Adorama store, so why it is J, JVC, what the hell you are doing with your product names 

At the same time, Amazon has 2 versions of 77x - discontinued hamr77x and ha-mr77x
 
http://www.amazon.com/JVC-HAMR77X-Headphones-Discontinued-Manufacturer/dp/B00C1TBYBC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1406355413&sr=8-1&keywords=hamr77x

Mic and controls works with Android phones too, so it's not just Iphone compatible. Oh well, we'll see how this J version performs when I'll have e12.

I don't care what they sound like. They were made when 8 tracks and vinyl were the standard. Those bands and padding and everything scream awesome at me. Man I love the look. That's just drop dead beautiful. Travel back in time...I wanna go back....maybe these help me.
Please never ever bass test them again. They were built 40 years ago. They deserve relaxed normal listening time travel duties

 
 
 
 

Thanks for sharing!!​
