| dakonium's Full Review: Aiwa HP-V165 Consumer Headphones |
I bought these headphones from J&R for $14.99 hopping that I will get something that I will blow my head off. I was totally unsatisfied. These headphones create an environment as if you are in a car driving at 100 miles per hour with the windows open! I think AIWA was aiming to create headphones to imitate the sound of car stereos. They succeeded for a 100 mile/hour car!
Now to get serious, this product is a complete waste of money-and they were not cheap. There is zero bass boost, TOO MUCH MIDDLE FREQUENCIES, and very little treble. If you find devices with the ability to handle middle frequencies, you might get something out of them. The sound is really flat as it is.
I own a pair of Philips In-Ear Headphones, model HE245 (http://www.audiomarket.ru/product.php?prod_id=9730&from=abc) and I have not heard better sound quality in different In-Ear headphones that I have tried. I bought them at the Greek Airport when I realized my old ones (Over-Head AIWA) were broken. My old AIWA were great, maybe even better than the Philips, but for someone who prefers In-Ear headphones, like myself, they are Top Of The Line! I have not found a place here in the US that sells them but maybe you will be luckier (Amazon and Yahoo does not have them).
My strong recommendation to you: STAY AWAY FROM THIS PRODUCT AND DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY. Trust me, I am a musician and I want the best sound when it comes to listening to my own music or other CDs.
If you are looking for THE BEST Over-Head Headphones, buy yourself KOSS KTX-PRO. They are BY FAR the best headphones I have ever tried (and I have tried about 15-20 different headphones, with prices up to $50-$60). They cost about $15!!!
Be wise and look elsewhere...
