Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great and comfortable pair of headphones!

By no means am I an audiophile, but I feel I can still appreciate the sound of some good 'phones.

The NVX's are extremely comfortable to wear, even for long periods of time and with eyeglasses (I'm an all-day wearing of my specs so this was important!). My ears never feel sweaty or like my skull is weighed down while they're on. They're actually a pleasure to wear!

They feel sturdy so far, but I'm not rough on any of my possessions so I can't speak for how well they'll stand up to drops and such. They're bulky though and not exactly the greatest things to wear around in public. The XPTs are large and noticeable from far off, but if you're okay with that these babies are more than worth that small shortcoming.

As far as sound goes, they seem very balanced to me. No single tone seems to outshine the other at any point; the bass is warm but not loud, vocals shine but aren't overpowering, and you can definitely hear every instrument in a song without any of them feeling muddied or muffled by another. The bass is clear in rap songs where it's needed and invisible in songs where it's not, which is another huge point for them. In all I love these headphones and feel like I couldn't have made a better choice in buying them.

Great Headphones

These headphones are incredibly neutral, balanced, easy to drive and the best headphones for $100 I think I've ever used and I have experienced many high end $500+ headphones as well as $100 headphones

Great headphones

Performance vs price this is a great value. Excellent range. Very comfortable. L/R plugs - one is all black the other has a gray stripe. Gray goes on the right (not stated in the manual.)

Excellent Studio Headphones

These headphones are flat out amazing. They firmly, yet comfortably, cup your ears so you are isolated in the experience. They are soft and will not make your ears over heat. The large 42mm neodymium drivers deliver the 10hz-26khz sound and expose parts of songs I had never heard before. I thoroughly enjoy my music, or I can really work in these to deliver an accurate mix to a client in whatever environment I am mixing in. With the warranty and all the extras they come with you would really be doing yourself a disservice to not at least take a listen. I'm buying a second set.

Good deal

NVX, what else do I need to say? Good sounding head phones.

A hard to beat buy

Simply put the NVX XPT100 are, in my opinion, the headphone to purchase in the ~$100 range. They provide a sound that's compared to headphones 3 times it's price while severely outclassing every closed headphone in it's price range, again in my opinion. As a complete package the XPT100 are astonishing headphones, the inclusion of angled pads and a second set of cables is icing on the cake.

If you have any concerns about the quality of these, please drop them at the door and order a pair if you want a balanced closed headphone at an excellent price.

Very Comfortable Cushion

Very soft and very comfortable cushion. It gives no pain/stress in my ears. What I don't like about this headphone is the build, the headband is so flexible.

Best reference headphones under $150. Period.

These make the legendary-status Creative Aurvana Live! ($60 to $80) sound bad. That said, there is no headphone currently near this price that will deliver the same neutrality, accuracy, control, or comfort that the XPT100s do.

I could do an extensive comparison between these and the other sets of headphones I own (CAL!, ATH-M50, Panasonic HTF600, Marley EM-JH020-MI, I could go on), but I won't because there is simply nothing to compare. These win in every aspect except for portability. The cheapest headphone that compares to the NVX XPT100 is the $170 Sennheiser HD25-II 1.

If you are looking for at-home listening cans, buy these now. You needn't spend any more time reading reviews, finding comparisons, or doing any other kind of research.

Great Headphones

These are very good Headphones and work great with Laptop.

Very Comfortable and Good Sound Quality

I've been using in-ear headphones for a long time and I wasn't sure about over-ear headphones. But with XPT100 you'll get a great sound for the money and it's so comfortable you'll want to keep them on your ears even when you're not listening.

Good product

Very good sound, well built and I like all the different size ear pieces that come with it.

Nvx for the win

Great headphones , good construction and terrific sound. nvx did not let me down on this product.I am extremely pleased with this product and would recommend these to friends and family.These are by far the most comfortable headphones I have ever used.I got these in a package deal with the nvx earbuds and while I was unimpressed with the earbuds the headphones made it all good for me.

Very nice

I've been using these headphones for the past several months and they have really grown on me. I had previously been using HD280 pros and M50s for my monitoring but these have fit right in with my standard issue headphones. The angled ear pads make this more comfortable than my others so i find that i'm using them more. I'd recommend them.

Awesome headphones

These headphones are awesome. The sound is better than any other headphones I have every used and they are comfortable enough to wear for hours. The noise reduction is so good I can’t hear my wife yelling at me in the background. They give a whole new meaning to drowning in sound. I can't wait to use them on long plane trips.

The way I go through earbuds, I figured this was meant to be.

I may have been wrong ? These are very well made, I have been using them for over a month daily, with out any trouble. The only thing that could use some improvement, would be bass, but that goes for most, unless you spend some money. They are so comfortable, and you never have to put in a earbud that fell out, never. I LIKE THEM !!!

Love them!

I love them! They are more then comfortable. The clamp is light and the cushions feel like leather pillows wrapped around your ears. I really like the appearance of them, totally my style with that dark brushed look. Some have complained about the super flexy headband, but I actually like it. Some have also complained about the big carrying case, but I actually like that too; I throw it in my gym bag with everything else on a daily basis for work and I know they're safe. I guess my ONLY complaint, and a small one at that, is that on devices that don't output allot of power will make you wanting the volume louder when already maxed out. But, I will probably be getting a portable amp/dac combo for that. also, the extra angled ear pads i found nice when laying down, because you can tilt the headphones foward and still have a proper fit.

as for the sound: clear and clean. these are very nuetral headphones, which makes them very versitile. youtube/netflix is great due to this. also, i am a little sensative to high treble, and these headphones let me listen without discomfort. it's exactly what i wanted, nuetral sound with easy-to-listen treble, and clean bass ( i don't listen to rap or anything, and i don't like over-done, muddy deep bass ) and extremely comfortable. for the price, get these no questions asked.

LOVE!

These are amazing! They are very comfortable, have incredible sound quality, and have a slick design. Also, extreme quality of these headphone insure me they'll never wear out -- like so many other brands.

Best buy

Nice and comfort over the ear headphone from NVX. Recommended product. The disadvantage - unable to rotate them.

Excellent, maximum bang for your buck!

Prior headphones: Senn HD650, grado sr325is, where se530, audio technical es7, vmoda m100

These headphones are very impressive. Out of all my headphones, these are the most neutral. They have a decent soundstage that doesn't get congested. Their sound is the most versatile, doing justice to all varieties of music, faithfully. They benefit from amping, but don't need anything powerful. Unless you have a solid DAC/amp, these are superior to even the senn 650s. I've never purchased a headphone that was as worthy as these, given they're only 100 dollars. Compared to the $300 M100s, these are absolutely superior. These lack any strong coloration, which depending on what you're looking for, may sound dull at first.

The construction feels a little flimsy at first, and they could be a little tighter( build wise, not fit). However the trade off is these are incredibly light, and very comfortable ( I personally prefer the default flat pads).

Bottom line: if you're looking for a cheap jump into the headphone world, honestly look no further-

I've also heard where 840s, Sony MDR v6, audio technical m50s, akg k240s. None of them provide such textured bass, smooth mids, and detailed treble, with such comfort and low amp requirements for $100. Lack of portability is the only limitation. Get 'em!

No need to look further if your budget is up to $100

I have tried few headphones before settling with the XPT100s. What I like about them is:

1. Comfort - You will not forget that you have them on but the padding is very generous and does not put pressure on your ears in any spots. Though due to their size they are not suitable for outdoor use unless you do not care how you look. At home - very comfy.

2. Large ear cups - I like when headphones do not touch my ears and they are perfect in this area.

3. Sound - Very natural sounding and easy to listen to. There are no harsh highs or booming lows. Soundstage is somewhat lacking but that can be expected from a closed headphones. Overall you can listen to them for hours without fatigue.

4. Isolation - They isolate very well. I guess that's due to the large ear cups and extra padding.

5. Short cable (in an addition to a long cable) - Good when your main use is laptop or mp3 player so you do not have to trip over extra feet of cable.

So far I have no dislikes. I haven't rated durability as I own them only for a few weeks. So far they have held up pretty well. NOTE: I put 3 out of 5 (middle) just because I can't submit no rating.

I would highly recommend them if you want good home headphones on a limited budget.

best earphones

I have had a lot of good earphones in my past but these are absolutely the best pair I've ever owned it has such clarity on the highs and you can feel the lows. I liked them so much I bought another pair just to have in the house.

great headphones

Great headphones. The sound is awesome. The only con is that they're not collapsible and are not good for mobile use.

Wow

These blew me away. I got them for free in a deal with some AT-M50's, and these are much better. The quality is supreme.

amazing!!!

amazing product. the quality is great. the feel is great. the sound is unmatched. and better then anything i have ever had before

Great Value

Got this one during President's Day sale and I would say it is the best bang for the buck. Sound stage is outstanding. Good all-arounder. Pads are comfy but get a little warm after an hour or two. If you want a fuller, punchier bass, you might wanna consider something else though.

Don't stay in well

Not wanting to use the harder component that wraps around your ear, they do not stay seated well even with all the various rubber pieces.


****
Manufacturer Response:
They are made to wrap around your ear. If you use them as direct input with cord hanging down, it is recommended you switch the left and right sides as the design would be more of a natural fit due the curves purposely being made to fit an around the ear style. That being said, you would also reverse the sound stage in that type of a fit.
****

Just because it's going doesn't mean that it's bad!

Before I got this product, I have never heard of this brand. Granted that I didn't need to risk anything because the pair came in free worth the purchase of another circumaural headphone I bought, but the quality of this little one matches the quality of the other more famous brands out there like shure and nose. The silver coated finish on the cord is also nice in blocking too much entanglement happening. It takes little getting used to for the East hook thing but over you get it, it will be awesome while traveling because these buds will not really fall off.

Best headphones i've ever used.

good lord. Props to both you Sonic Electronix and NVX. these headphones are top notch. i was expecting mid grade sound out of the ES10's but i plugged these babies in and listened to RUN DMT - Curse of The Mummy (plug because it's an excellent bass song for systems) and when the bass finally hit, it gave me goosebumps. FROM HEADPHONES. these things are amazing. it wasn't too loud, or to harsh. but the smooth clarity of my music is honestly amazing. i haven't even plugged in the FiiO yet and i'm blown away.

These things handle the long, strong bass hits of dubstep, trance, and trap flawlessly. it handles the choppy aggressiveness of metal, and it makes rock and indie sound so much more dimensional (clarity of reverb, and balance of instruments). I even threw some Gustav Mahler (classical music) at them at it handles beautifully. these play the range of music beautifully, without any flaws.

That's not to say that all music sounds good on them :) poorly mastered and recorded music shines through as well. clipping and over compression sounds like nails on a chalkboard in these, which is a good thing! i mainly listen to metal, and dubstep, but i have everything from the 50's to Trap in my library. these headphones have made it so i can explore my library all over again :) THANK YOU!

The best earbuds under $100

Where do I begin with these? They have so many features for $100. The only feature they do not have that I wish they had is a mic + play/pause button. Here is my breakdown:
Sound:
I must say I never heard of NVX and was a bit worried about the sound quality before buying, but their over ear had some good reviews so I figured why not. I was incredibly impressed with the sound quality these have. They are so much better than my Klipsch S4i it's not even funny. The response is really balanced and sound staging is excellent. The bass also feels incredibly natural and not overbearing like some others and overall I am just really pleased. I have listened to alternative/rock (Counting Crows, Matchbox 20) and hip hop (Hopsin, Lecrae, Lupe Fiasco) and everything sounded the way it does on my studio monitors. I was left feeling like nothing was missing and that was really important to me in terms of whether I wanted to keep or return... These are keepers!
Cable:
Quite possibly this is the sturdiest cable I have ever had on earbuds, including much more expensive Shure and Westone. I contacted NVX to find out what they used and it is a pure silver cable. It never gets tangled, is durable as hell, and you can just tell the quality compared to standard plastic or even twisted/flat designs out there. On top of the toughness, it also looks great as it is silver.
Eartips:
The sheer number of eartips included is almost intimidating, but I got over it and got the exact pair that fit me. I really like how there are silicon tips and then also silicon with foam tips included. I went for medium silicon w/ foam and they are extremely comfortable. I also like the comfortmax flexible foam tips when I am traveling in public (airplane, bus, etc) as they offer a bit more noise isolation and I am even tempted to go buy a set of comply tips to compare.
Adjustable Nozzle Sound Port:
This is a really cool feature that is extremely undersold in my opinion. It is my favorite feature on these buds. Maybe it is because my ears are not normal or average, but because of the adjustable port I can fit these better than anything else I have previously owned.
Memory wire and earhooks:
The memory wire and earhooks are pretty cool and I have seen them on other sets, but the memory wire is softer than my Westone and more flexible. I am not a huge fan of the earhooks, but maybe for some people they will like those better. I left them in the box unused. For me, the memory wire works great at the gym or when I go running and really helps when it comes to plopping them out and then leaving them resting on my ears so I can talk with friends at the gym without having to have it hanging from my chest.
Cons:
I like complyfoam tips as I stated above so that would have been great to get those. I have an Android phone so I am not huge on the Apple 3 button mic thing, but either would have been better than not having that option at all. Even though I am fan of over the ear designs, I still find simple plug and play to be a little easier.
Overall:
I am pleased with the sound they produce and all the neat things that came with them.

Excellent sound quality; were several times their price!

The user has to take a lot of care to use the tips that provide a completes seal in the ear cavity. When that happens then the bass quality snaps into focus and the entire soundfield taks on a much more spacious pleasing quality. If a good ear seal is not achieved then the sound can sound Peaky and harsh. A good ear seal is easy to achieve because the unit comes with 15 different tips therefore achieving a good seal is just a matter of finding the right tip for the users ear. The soundfield expands outside the boundaries of your head and avoid the typical boxed in earphone or headphone sound. These should be on any serious listeners short list of earphones for consideration.

Good headphones

I haven't been using them that much, but so far they sound good. They are durable and have a lot of features.

Great pair of ear buds for the price!

For $*** dollars these are a steal, get loud than beats by Dr.Dre with less distortion! Crisp mids and highs, and the bass pounds, can't listen to very long due to west coast tweeters at very high levels atleast.

Great!!

Very comfortable and good sound. For the price, I don't think you can find any better headphones

Amazing, Can AMP these like crazy

I don't hear well at all (dual hearing aids). What normal people hear from a non amped iPod, I hear with a Fiio e12 about about 1/3 volume. I bought these. Did not receive as part of a deal or anything. They are great! I had never heard of NVX before. I have a drawer full (literally) of blown earbuds, from klipsch s4-i7, monster, etc. They just can't handle the power I am putting through them. I won't warrantee something I abused.
These handle the power with no trouble AT ALL! I could tell there were problems in the other buds as they would get hot. These sound great and, if they are holding up for me, nothing can kill them :).

Excellent Studio Earbuds

These ear buds are perfect for recording, listening, and even working out to music. they reproduce the best range of sounds in a majestic way but finding the right pair of tips was kind of a long struggle. Nevertheless, great ear buds that stay on and in their place.

real bagain

good and cheap!!!! the accesories are awesome and sound great in mids and bass.

Nice Product!

The NVX EX 10S is probably one of the best set of in ear monitor ear buds I've ever had, they are not as bright on the highs as my SHURE ear buds, but the lows/mid lows are far superior. I LOVE these ear buds.

Great Value. Perfect for Every Persons Ear(S)

These are really great Earbuds. You can turn the volume all the way up (MAX) and it does not distort. The Sound is Amazing and You can actually hear everything that Your suppose to hear when listening to a good music. I'm really happy I got the NVX EX10S.

Suprising sound quality

Well made. Highs are notably crisp and clear. Good value for the money.

sounds great!

These sound great and there are so many options of ear cushions, so finding a fit is easy. most do not fit my ears comfortably, but these do, the add on ear hooks they come with make it even more comfortable!

Excellent gift

The first thing my son did was to try them on with the flat pads ... then he changed it with the angled pads. He simply loves them.
The sound of this headset is so great that I have to yell twice to call him diner's ready... :-(
But it really was a great Christmas grift. My son says they do exactly what their website says and that was the reason he chose them.

Excellent headphones for the price

Pros:
Excellent sound for the price.
Articulated tips allow for very solid and comfortable fit in your ears.
Well built housing and cable.
Includes a large variety of tips of different sizes and styles
Accessory pouch was perfect size store tips and accessories

Cons:
Cable guides do not stay on well.
Over-ear wear can be uncomfortable for some.
Does not include headset controls.

I love these

These things seem indestructable. They're comofrttable and they sound better than any other buds i've owned.

Great Deal

I got these free with the studio headphones I purchased for my boyfriend. Amazing quality !

Great sound, great comfort

It has been years since I have used headphones. That being said, these sound great to me. The sound is very clear and somewhat neutral - no range (bass, mid range, treble) seems to be emphasized. They are extremely comfortable. I can also use them with my computer (or wife's iPad) without added amplification. The only drawback I see is that they are somewhat bulky - I probably won't be using them for travel, though they do come with a large travel case.

Nice Product, Decent price

These earphones are quite sturdy and they sound really well. Have good enough bass and not too much distortion on high volume. It's little tricky to get the proper fit but once you are used to it then it's just child's play. Love this product. No complaint at all.

A nice standalone or ad-on pair

Bought the ATH-M50s and got these for free with it. The sound quality is impressive as well as the variety of ear pieces. I gave these to my dad for his birthday but from what I heard, these are a good quality pair of headphones.

Satisfied

Great full sound for earbuds, a little on the low end for my taste but not annoyingly so. Also comes with a ton of earbud tips and a convenient leather pouch. Would recommend.

Exceeded my expectations

Really like the features and sound quality of the NVX EX10S- Earbuds. It was a pleasant surprise to be able to custom fit using the supplied adapters and over the ear loops. Great product!

I really like these headphones

I really like listening to music on these headphones. They are way comfortable like that other guy said. They sound pretty close to some of the other earbuds that i have owned, but there is just something slightly different about the sound that i like better. I think it is a little more warm and rich then the others. They sound really nice. Very enjoyable.

The only drawback is that they give way too many ear tips and it took me a while to find the ones that fit perfect. The wrap around design is great and reduces the amount of noise that i used to get when the cable would rub against my shirt or other clothing.

Overall, i would buy these again.

Really nice earphones

Pretty durable, been leaving it in my hoodie pocket for more than a month and still good. Comfortable enough that I didn't know I had earpiece on backwards in the wrong ear. This is because the tip can be tilted in a 360 degree fashion making it able to fit alot more ear types. Adding all the earpiece endings, you'll surely able to find one that fits. They are worn loop over the ear and has a extra tube add on to reinforce the wire if you desire. No designate call button. But sound is great and clear.

Nice and comfy

of all the earbuds i have ever owned these are hands down the most comfortable. i wear them for several hours a day during work and i almost forget that i am wearing them. they sound greaet too. very happy with purchase.

Amazing Sound Quality

I got these headphones to replace a Sony MDR-XB500 that I've had for 3 years and wanted something different. As of now, I've owned these headphones for a month, and I must say that NVX has made one of the best headphones I've ever experienced. The characteristics of these headphones include:

- Very Lightweight
- Studio Grade Sound Quality
- Soft/Smooth Leather Cups

Comparing these to the Sony I had before, it has a much more clearer sound response, but the bass isn't as strong as the Sony. Don't get me wrong though; these headphones can hit subsonic notes and still sound somewhat loud on the bass.

I also use these headphones for music production with FL Studio. When experimenting with sounds, you can hear the slightest irregularity in uncorrected sounds to allow you to produce better sounds.

Needless say if you have considered these headphones, but hesitant to get one, you won't be disappointed.

This promo package is a steal!

I highly recommend this product for anybody who is looking for quality sound for a decent price. I've tried and owned several headphones and ear buds ranging from skull candy to shure and these beat them in every category. The pros are that these are very natural sounding and the highs,mids, and lows blend perfectly. The sound stage is great and the different textures in the music will cut through. One con is that in order to get the full experience from the headphones they will need to be amped up a bit or with a good sound card it should take care of the job. Again I highly recommend this product you won't be disappointed.

Outstanding Quality

These ear buds have a great sound . I was surprised when I used them on stage for the first time as in ear monitors . They sound better than the original buds that came with the system! And at about a quarter of the price than other buds you can't go wrong .

Good design and easy to wear

Great product overall and can wear them while exercising. But no volume control. The best thing is that the rubber piece is interchangeable to suit your ears. Recommended.

A Welcome suprise

I got these as a bundled deal with my ATH-M505. And I wasn't expecting much since these were basically free. When I tried them out, I found them to be quite comfortable and sonically pleasing. All the extras that came with the earbuds made for a very pleasant experience.

Not what I expected

First let me say I am a huge nvx fan and have always enjoyed nvx products.After stating that fact it pains me to say these earbuds are average at best.I recently bought some klipsch earbuds also from sonic and for the same price the klipsch put the nvx to shame.The nvx sound is lacking in all areas compared to the klipsch and if I had it to do over it would be klipsch all the way.

Best portable headphones

They are loud. You can't go more than 75% of your iPhones volume. In terms of SQ I prefer polk audio ultra focus 6000 (they have also noise canceling..not very efficient but it works) but I dislike those because the noise canceling module is always rip out your ear pods because of its weight and bad positioning on the cable. The Nvx are great product overall with good SQ after you find the perfect rubber for your ears. Also you can take them anywhere. I don't use the extra rubber on the cable because I were glasses but they never fall. The cable is very flexible and they are very well made and look durable!

Great Headphones, BUT

I love the sound of these headphones. But the short 1.3 meter cable was bad , lucky they also came with a 3 meter cable. No replacement cable on NVX site. Found Brianwavz HM5 cable on mp4ntion.com for $9.50 free shipping. from Hong Kong. Received the new cable in 15 days. Works great.
I do not think anyone could go wrong with buying these, I listen to them for hours at a time with zero problems. I remember buying headphones for $50 back in the 80s (a lot for me then) that did not sound this good. $80 was a bargain and with the $5 refund for the bad cable, just cake.

dank af tbqh

Pretty comfy, good sound, good cables and stuff, not too pricey, 11/10 would recommend

Highly Recommended

These headphones are awesome, very clean and balanced sound when listening to anything from music to movies. Easily the best sound experience I’ve had with a pair of headphones, and also really comfortable. They do a good job of blocking ambient sound, too, so you can get really immersed in what you're listening to.

Good quality

Not going to say they are the best. Ive heard different things on reviews. They are infact uncomfortable to wear with regular glasses. They did infact make my ears sweat. Sound quality is great.

Great neutral headphones

These are some of the best headphones you can get in the price range, especially if you're looking for something neutral.

Great headphones.

Good sound, extremely comfortable, I like the two cables in each ear rather than just one, I use it with a Zalman mic and it's incredible. The sound is very, very decent.

Mixed Blessing

Have you been sent to the couch lately? these should be there for those times when some light shines through and others when they are just as miserable as you can be.. don't have a best or worst thing to say, they are sometimes source dependent Amp/Dac or not, they have presence for sure.. are boxy sounding at times and suprisingly open in some cases.
I would go ahead and pick'em up for the price jjust because you know your going to do something wrong.. these are right enough!

NVX Audio XPT100

Once burnt in the sound is beautifully full and clear... The instruments are separated, and once i increased slightly bass frequency the headphones become the ultimate listening experience for anywhere close price range. The cushions are super comfy and I can wear them for a super long periods of time.
Highly recommended.

Best under $100

These are some of the most comfortable headphones ever;super plush pads. For under $100 they are some of the best overall value. Good sound

Not What I Was Hoping For

Given all of the reviews I read on the NVX Audi XPT100 headhones and how so many people thought they were amazing, I was thoroughly disappointed.

I was buying these to replace my Sony MDR-XB500 headphones as they're getting old and starting to wear out (I've had them for about 5 years now). After switching back and forth between the XB500s and the XPT100s, listening to the same part of the same song and keeping the volume exactly the same, the XB500s are better.

Between my father and I, we have around $50-60,000 worth of home audio equipment (surround sound, vacuum tube amplifiers, high-end this, high-end that and so on). I wouldn't quite go as far as to call myself an audiophile, but I am really picky when it comes to my headphones, and the XPT100s didn't quite reach my standards. I'm not saying they're bad headphones, I'm just saying the XB500s perform better for what I like.

For lows, the XPT100s are rated to 10Hz whereas the XB500s are rated to 4Hz. Granted, average human hearing is only down to about 20Hz or so, but as the frequencies drop below 30Hz, the XPT100s fizzle out and stop producing low frequencies while the XB500s power straight through and rattle your entire head.

For volume output, the XPT100s aren't quite as efficient as the XB500s. Keeping the volume the same on my laptop/headphone amp, and the XB500s produce more sound on the same power. And as I increased the power higher and higher, the XPT100s began to distort much sooner than the XB500s did.

Also, everyone raved about how comfortable the XPT100s were, but (again, in my opinion and what I've been using for the past 5 years), compared to the XB500s, the XPT100s felt cheap, with minimal cushion on the ear cups.



All in all, they are decent headphones, but compared to what I've been used to for the past 5 years, the NVX Audio XPT100s are no match for the Sony MDR XB500s.

Is gud.

Very comfortable and great quality of sound. Would recommend to friend.

Worth everything it cost

Would I pay MSRP? Yes... the cost on sonic make them even more of a steal, i'm wondering why i didn't buy them sooner, I am just completely lost in my music, the bass is good, the trebles are crisp, and everything is where it should be. They are on the larger end of the spectrum given its size, but the large size means comfort, right? in this case, yes, these are the most comfortable headphones you'll wear ever. I've worn turtle beach, bose, and beats audio headphones (beats audio is horrible). These are better at comfort and sound in both turtle beach and bose, and it's no competition when compared to beats audio.

There are some great features on these headphones found only on other higher end sets that cost 3 or 4 times what these cost, like removable cables, a custom case, different style drop in ear muffs, and made of completely of metal. Never have i heard music as good as this, and never will you hear music as good as this.

- Overall a 5 (i'm a huge NVX fan, basically NVX everything for audio)
- Value, given this is a $200 set of phones for $80, definite 5 and i would stay pay $200 for these
- Durability is a solid 5, the flexible head bridge I was able to twist with little effort and it just whipped right back into place, so will not break easily
- Features is a solid 5, different lengthed cables and two ear muff styles to suit your needs, definitely has more features than some $300+ phones
- Ease of use I am only giving a 4, the jacks that attach to the cans aren't letter labeled, so i had to go into the manual to find that grey is left and black is right. it also takes a bit of force to get them to pop in, this should become easier with time.

arrived on time and work great

If you are like me you found theae from doing research on the most comfortable headphones for the price. They did not disappoint. Smart buy.

Great headphone with lots of accessories

I own a ton of headphones. Opening the box of XPT100 makes me feel like I got a lot for my money. Definitely nice to see ton of goodies in the box. An extra set of pads is something I appreciate a lot.
Headphone fits my relatively big head comfortably. As a comparision DT880 premium doesn't fit my head as easily as these.
Sound is neutral. I still haven't listened to these extensively. So I might come back later to update this review.

Great quality for price

Good sound quality, especially at this price point. I have been using for 6 years and the headband and long cable finally broke on me, but it is easy enough to replace. These do cancel outside noise very well, which is awesome.

Excellent audio quality, don't miss my active noise cancelation

I was skeptical/hesitant to get these because I had some top of the line Able Planet active noise canceling headphones that were double the price, but I've heard a lot so I decided to bite since my Able Planets were falling apart after years of use.

The NVX cans sound great -- better than my dated Able Planets now compared side by side -- and the build quality seems similar. Don't even need the active noise canceling because the ear cups fit snugly and nicely and the sound is so full.

Note that the black marked cable is for the left phone, and the grey marked cable is for the right.

Great Headphones!

The XPT-100 are great value headphones for the price. Comfortable fit, noise cancelling, good base and tone. They are sturdy and the ability to purchase replacement headbands is very handy.

very nice sound

My son bought these and he has went through a lot of different headphones to find just the right ones.

He loves bass and uses it for his autism therapy. This is the first set that he has had that he is totally pleased with.

Thank you for making such a quality product!!!

Superb audio quality

Audio quality is on par with my over ear headphones. I raised my eyebrow about calling these "studio monitor" earbuds at first but they really are pristine quality.

Worth 40$ ? You bet

These earphones are very sensitive to the type of ear tip used and depth of insertion.But once you get what is right for you figured out I dont think it would be easy to better them anywhere near this price point.

HeadPhones

I really like the headphones, at first I did not because they would not stay in my ears. After messing with them for about a week I realized it was user error. I did not know when I got them that they are an over the ear and in and not just a straight in to the ear unit, Once I figured that out I think they have amazing sound and am really happy with them.

Not what I expected

I found only a couple of reviews about those IEMs before buy then.

I read on head-fi that those are a Vsonic GR06 rebranded for NVX.
Considering the buzz around the GR07, I thought that GR06 could be "something like". However I was pretty wrong.

The package is nice and have a lot of good quality accessories.
The IEM itself has a great build and quality too.
The problem is the sound. It is cloudy, with no detail, definition, soundstage or instruments separation.

The only way I could use it was setting up the high frequencies to make possible to hear some instrumental separation on the EQ.

The bass and low-mids are really overpowering making the highs get pretty lost between then. This really makes the sound cloudy and diffuse.

I sold the extra pair, and really don't know what to do with the other one. Maybe I'll use then for running since they can hang pretty good on my ears with the ear guides and the cable does not make noises.

Good value

I'm very happy. Good Speakers and good sound. Thank you.

Best In-Ear Headphones I've used

When I was in the market for new earbuds, I wanted to try NVX as I've used a lot of their other products and have been surprised time and time again. The same holds true to these headphones. First off the quality of these are much better than the $50 price tag. Second I use these 8-9 house a day, 5 days a week and they do not fatigue my ears at all. Very hard for me find earbuds that fit snug without hurting as I have an abnormally small ear canal.

Onto the sound.
I tend to consider myself to have a ear to detail in the music. These have yet to disappoint me regardless the music played. Comparing to other headphones these are leagues ahead. They create a nice soundstage with everything having tonal accuracy. The highs are very present, but not bright which leads to the comfort of these as your ears don't get fatigued from the listening. Midrange is smooth and reserved while the bass is tight and accurate. The only downfall is that they don't dig down into the low low frequencies (Sub 35hz) like some others I have had, but they do what they do effortlessly.

Overall verdict,
If you need great balanced sounding headphones that have the comfort for a full work day then do not hesitate to purchase these.

Very good buds

I got these in the package deal with the over ear headphones (also fantastic) these buds sound awesome has good sound all around good highs, mid bass, and low end my son has the dr dre buds and these completely kill them in every way. He begged me for them because he knows I dont even like earbuds. So I gave them to him and he couldn't be happier so the I think $100 his mother spent on the dre buds are just collecting dust. Overall quality of these is great the cables are thick and sturdy unlike most skinnier cheap feeling ear buds for this price. NVX is just quality all around needless to say my whole stereo system in my 98 dodge ram is all NVX from wires to amps, crossovers, component speakers, subs, d-blocks. All very high quality super efficient amps super SQL speakers and subs. I highly recommend this brand for any of audio needs that NVX supplies.

A little bright

They are nice except for they are a little too bright. So if you're like just be careful with songs with a lot of highs

outstanding

Definitely recommend these outstanding ear buds. Comfortable, and a incredible sound. A true value.,A+ and the silver wire does not bind up really nice.

Not Impressed Thus Far

I own several iem's in this price range including Monster, B & W and Bose. After listening to them for a short time so far they do not have the clarity I would have expected and the sound is rather dull compared to the others I own. I am hoping after further burn-in the sound will improve.

HPMC

These earbuds have great sound and are a good bargain. They come with a wide variety of adapters that ensure a good fit that results in the great sound. It would be nice if it had a microphone so you could talk on the phone without taking the phone out to talk on.

Outstanding

First off I live with my headphones have them on in the morning, when im not working, and when im going to sleep. So I need comfortable phones and these are great I can where them for hours without strain or my ears being all hot. My other headphones that would happen. These have all around great balanced sound and I love bass in my phones which these do not have. The sound is really smooth but crisp. I have listened the crap out of these for a month strait on ALL types of music and these are just outstanding phones. I even listened to decaf just to see if the bass would be on point. The bass was very well on point but so smooth while doing it. If you want the most of these I would highly recommend a amp for them. For build quality they are awesome. There is a demo picture of people wearing these and people still buy them and complain there to big you can clearly see there pretty big on the photos. I wear these everywhere even the gym and I dont give a damn I like my music sounding good for whatever activity im doing. Also the flex ability of these is awesome some people complained about that to I think its awesome especially if your a DJ and for people saying there light and feel cheap they are very light which is a huge plus and they are by far from cheap. These will S!&T on all the Dre beats and other rapper headphones especially for the price. Even some $300 phones. my son has dre beats and when I get home from work hes bumping my damn NVX headphones annoying . Theres a lot more I want say but ill stop here. Overall very satisfied with
these and HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

As for the NVX earbuds also great im not into earbuds but from the ones ive had or listened to these are well worth what they sell for yet again my son has the dr dre buds and he begged me for these because he said his sound distorted and muffled. So ya I gave um to him I dont even like earbuds. The quality of them is nice and all the accessories they come with is great. Even the cables are thick and very sturdy most earbuds are very cheap with the skinniest wire. But they dont just look great they sound great I was honestly impressed when I tried them out very clear and have some clean bass.
