An audio review & news blog. The volume should not exceed 80 dB is recommended. I usually adhere to the safe-listening style by WHO. Please note that my aural impressions and interpretations of measurements are also made from a safe-listening style.

Sound quality

The following review was tested with a FiiO M15.

 

Perhaps because the basic structure is almost identical, the sound balance of the JVC HA-SW01 is almost the same as that of the HA-SW02. The number of parts, such as the sound rods, has increased, which may have affected the distortion rate and resolution. The low frequency range seems to resonate more than the HA-SW02, the HA-SW01 is slightly superior in terms of contrast, and the overall balance is better, but perhaps because of the sound rods, reverberation seems to increase a little, and the HA-SW02 is superior in terms of resolution. However, since the sound quality of sealed headphones varies greatly depending on the wearing comfort, these characteristics may change depending on the wearing comfort, and in fact, for many people, the HA-SW01 and HA-SW02 are almost equal and unchanged products.

Sound quality general comment
  • Original Sound Fidelity: A-
  • Recommendation: A+
  • Personal preference: A+

 

If you want to be bathed and enveloped in a rich atmosphere of bright music, like light falling through the clouds, we recommend the JVC HA-SW01. However, it is little different from the lower-end HA-SW02, and if you prefer brighter, higher-resolution sound, the HA-SW02 is superior.

General comment

The JVC HA-SW01 brings a rich musical experience that surrounds you with music as it pours down. The problem is that there is a relatively large price difference between the HA-SW01 and the HA-SW02, while they are almost identical.
