Do You Want Bass? Because This is How You Get Bass
Budget headphones are a segment absolutely flooded with options. Thousands of different models saturate the market and manufacturers are looking for any advantage they can, whether by leveraging the power of a brand name bolstered by an obscene marketing budget or standing out with features and sound quality transcending their meager price point. Both are present here with the HA SR185 wired headphones, combining the eminently recognizable JVC audiovisual brand with a bass-centric alternative to run-of-the-mill headphones in the $20 and under segment. Given their target price and audience, these headphones get the job done but make few attempts to be anything better than more or less what you expect for the money. - Unboxing Impressions Competing in an entry-level space, I didn’t expect these on-ear headphones to be particularly meaty. The all-plastic construction doesn’t impress, but at the very least makes for nicely lightweight headphones. Joints have a little play in them which is also understandable at this price point. When unfolded the headset is sturdy. I was disappointed to find only the ear cups are padded, as other over-the-head headphones include a padded headband, and there even appears to be a cutout within the headband for them. The 3.5mm connector is a typical four-pole which will allow most phones and tablets to use the microphone, but devices with separate headphone and microphone jacks (e.g. computers, game systems) will need a breakout adapter, which JVC does not include. - Sound Quality Budget headphones will almost never deliver a flat response curve (where bass, mids, and treble are all balanced and none overpower the other) and the HA SR185s absolutely skew heavily towards bass response as advertised on the packaging. The heavy bass drowns out the mids and highs, and even after adjusting equalizer settings I couldn’t get decent response from the high end of the sound spectrum. Mids were fine once the bass was dialed back, but running these as-is will make sure you’re in Rave mode all the time. Sound isolation from the outside environment is almost non-existent. The overpowering bass is rough but workable for dialogue and lyrics, but is surprisingly fun to listen to heavy metal, electronic dance, and other drum-heavy music. The bass is clear if not overly boomy. I won’t say that these are a clear step above the bog-standard earbuds that phone manufacturers include in their devices, but they definitely invert the response curve to bring back the bass that was otherwise missing from earbuds. There’s some distortion across the entire audio spectrum at very high volumes but that’s to be expected. On the bright side, these headphones are low impedance so they’ll get plenty loud when used with a phone or handheld game system. With an inline microphone, these headphones can be used to make calls or audio recordings. The microphone is of decent quality and the positioning is similar to that of a lapel mic, resulting in very clear speech. - Comfort & Convenience The lightness of the headphones makes these reasonably comfortable on the ears. The clamping force isn’t overbearing and combines with the pivoting ear cups to make these easy to wear for long periods. The adjustable headband expands to accommodate an enormous head size. As a larger-headed individual I only needed a short extension to make these fit my head with at least an inch to go on each side. Unfortunately there are a few downfalls to the headphones’ design. The ear cups are at times difficult to pivot into a contracted position, and even when fully closed the headphones still take up quite a bit of space. These are only decently portable and will need to be stowed in a bag or backpack rather than a pocket as a result. Further, the headphone cord is on the short side, which makes it hard to use with desktop computers and stereos without a headphone extension cord. A little more length would’ve been appreciated. - Bottom Line For their $19.99 MSRP you could do a lot worse. The JVC HA SR185 wired headphones indeed deliver on their bass-boosting promises, and are quite comfortable to wear, even if there are options closer to a neutral frequency response in this market segment. As a self-proclaimed audiophile I do see some use cases for these and I didn’t detest the sound. Kids will likely enjoy these for their music and games, making them a good gift option for tech-addicted youngsters. With a few caveats as described above, these are Recommended!

Quality Sound!
I bought these for my husband because he was going through earbuds like candy! Either losing or breaking them. I feel better about his hearing in these verses the buds because he listens to his music so loud I can hear it! He is soooo happy with them and claims he has a better sound experience with these than with the earbuds. Great purchase!

Great for gaming as well as music!!!
My son had a set of gaming headphones and they seem to be a nuisance as the mic was annoying and just was not as good as he thought they would be when we bought them. Here comes a simple JVC set with mic on the wire, only thing I needed to do was get a extension suitable for a headset with a mic inline and boom, got myself a new headset for under $30 which he loves. He could take them with him to use with his ipad as well. My son for some reason does not like bluetooth headsets, I bought him a high end set of JBL's and he hated them. He is using these on his nintendo switch. When it is docked he plugs these in with the 10' extension purchased on amazon. When you purchase the extensions anywhere, make sure they are compatible with headsets with mics. bestbuy does not carry them unless ordered. The correct extension is the one with the 3.5mm plug with 3 lines on the actual plug itself, the other extension will have audio but no mic on it. I highly recommend this headset and would buy them again for the reasons I purchased them. I myself use wireless jbl headphones for most everything I do, specifically over ear headphones.
