This might be a good deal...

I just found that MCM Electronics (a large OEM) makes JVC's second to top-of-the-line headphone, the HA-D1. List price is $150, but you can get it from MCM for only $90. The headphone might sound awful though, I wouldn't know

. Anyway, here's a picture:

and here's where you can buy it:

Well they dont look bad...

I think it looks rather nice/well built. It would suck if these cans sound like crap!

Looks like a cross of some high end Sonys and AKG 501s.


These have been around a while, Headwize mentioned them a couple years ago.

They say: "not very comfortable, bright and heavy, missing midrange"

Probably not worth listening to.

I think this one wins the headphone award for "closest visual representation of donuts". Maybe it could win the award for tasting like a donut too, but thats another story.

Seriously though they actually look quite comfortable to wear. Guess you have to try them out for sound quality.

btw: I DO NOT recommend that you try eating your headphones.

Hmm.. Can we really trust what they have to say about a headphone? Look what I found on that page:

Sony MDR-V700DJ - 65pt (rugged construction; strong bass; for DJs, but also consider for hifi)

...

yeah, the day when the V700DJ is considered equal to the beyer 831...

Actually, I thought looks and sound were inversely proportional?

 

[Xevion]

Yeowch. Didn't even notice the comment about the V-700s.

that might be a good thing, 'cause personally I think these look like crap!

but they probably are pretty lousy....still, who knows right?
