Aiwa HP-X222 Consumer Headphones

Pros: Good earmuffs, massive drivers, deep throbbing bass
Cons: Not for the audiophiles, uber-bass drowns all else out.

Well, I was in the market for some new headphones over christmas. The pair of bargain-basement generic 'phones I'd bought from K-Mart just wasn't cutting it for me. I was looking for a decent set of headphones that would have acceptable sound quality,...

Pros: Relatively inexpensive
Cons: Sound quality not great, fit not terrific

I needed a pair of headphones to perform two basic tasks:

1. For PC Gaming
2. To listen to stereo-quality songs on my computer.

In my search for a pair of headphones I wanted a pair that:

1. Had clear, full,...

Pros: just about everything
Cons: slight discomfort after long periods of usage

When I bought my first 3d positional audio sound card for games, I was finding that my tiny computer speakers were inadequate. They distorted easily with the volumes I liked, and those volumes tended to disturb others in the household. So, I set out to...

Pros: Great sound, Comfortable, Cool looking
Cons: Kind of big, but they have to be.

These are the best headphones I have ever owned. I am one of those people that doesn't pay a lot for anything. So when it came to headphones I don't spend much on those either. I knew there had to be a pair out there that didn't cost 100's of...

Pros: Good sound, deep bass, comfortable, long cord, external sound is blocked, affordable
Cons: Immense

Since purchasing this pair of headphones at a local Best Buy retail store, I have looked no further. Thats because not only are these headphones extremely affordable but they provide you with some really good stuff. These headphones can easily outperform...

Pros: Decent (not great) sound. Outside noise blocked out.
Cons: Sound quality could be better. Big. Bulky.

Of course, if you happen to be sitting in your house...

Pros: Mute Button. High quality for average users.
Cons: Easy to break. Not for audiophiles.

These headphones are great headphones, however if your an audiophile, don't waste your time. These deliver great quality, along with great comfort for an average person.

These are mostly targeted at the everyday consumer. I personally use them...

Pros: Price, Clarity, Powerful, Great Range and Mute Button
Cons: Only a 10 foot cord

Well, these headphones can do that if you want them to. They, indeed, do have the power to achieve a sonic headache. But, at low volume levels, they are very accurate, too.

I have been reading opinions on many headphones over the past week....

Pros: Tremendous sound quality, big ear cups, fits snug
Cons: Mute button in bad spot

I searched for headphones for a long time. Before I bought these, I had listened to about 10 different ones, ranging from expensive to dirt cheap. I took a gamble on these because I bought them online without trying them, and I hit the jackpot. I payed ...

Pros: Big comfi cups, long cord, good trebles
Cons: No bass, useless mute switch, cord comes out of the left cup

I have had HP-X311 for maybe 6 years now. Great fit, great bass, good mids and trebles. They were $34.99 at BestBuy, a great deal. So I decided to get the HP-X222 considering the good experience. They are $29.99 at BestBuy again.
First of, I did...

Pros: Good value for the price. Comfortable.
Cons: Long cord. Lightweight. Boomy.

It seems that many of the reviews written here are from those using the headphones with their computer for gaming an the like. I've been using the HP-X222's to primarily listen to music from a variety of sources ranging from my Marantz home system to a ...

Pros: Good range, good fit, better than probably any other headphone in the $20 price range.
Cons: A disappointment after reading such praising reviews, but I have been spoiled by "audiophile" headphones.

They are good compared to the throw-aways that come with your $30 cd player, but not that great compared to quality headphones. The sound is okay, not as bad as the free ones, but way too much midrange and treble. There is deep bass in there, which mean ...

Pros: Very good sound for an audio enthusiast, Mute button, fair price
Cons: Large but that is to be expected with these kinds of headphones

I bought these headphones as a compliment to my Aiwa NSX-DS11 surround system, and I'm happy that I did. They match my system very well, have great sound (except the high end sounds kind of fuzzy on certain types of music) and are a pretty good looking...

Pros: Very Comfortable Headphones. For the Price I sound quality is best on the Market!
Cons: Your Ears Get Hot After Long useage. Just givem a 20sec breath and your good!

I bought there Headphones from Bestbuy 3 months ago. I only bought them because they were the only one left on the shelf.
I know the Aiwa Name and trust it.
Well I got home and Plugged them in on my computer. You know something? They...

Pros: Its very comfortable
Cons: I haven't found nothing yet (that's good) d:-)

I bought this product about a month ago because my old skinny headphones broke so I decided to try out the good quality of headphones. I bought for about $30.00 at Target and I went home to try them out. I took them out of the package and...

Pros: great sound, inexpensive
Cons: not enough bass

These headphones have great sound when listening to any kind of music. they have a frequency response from 5Hz to 25kHz so the soundstage is excellent. The high frequencies are crisp and clear. The power handling is quite good, I can turn the volume up...

Pros: Extremely comfortable, Great sound quality, Great price
Cons: none

I think these are the best headphones I have ever owned. They are also better than many other, more expensive headphones that my friends have, like $100 Sony's. These have a VERY nice sound quality and are EXTREMELY comfortable!

It also...

Pros: Good Quality Headphones,durable,and handy mute button.
Cons: After two hours of use you might feel a little discomfort.

I purchased my Aiwa HP-X222 around a year and a half ago. These headphones replaced some very low quality headphones I had at the time and it was a big upgrade. The headphones have a comfy fit and they snuggle quite gently around the ear area. Although,...

Pros: Strong sound. Sits AROUND the ears.
Cons: Heavy. Good ear muffs.

Due to the fact that I bought these phones based on the other reviews I won't say much about their technical/acoustic/style. Read the other reviews and trust them!!

However, the real reason I need some new phones is the fact that I have a...

Pros: 10 foot cord, large adapter plug, mute button, look ok cosmetically.
Cons: a bit bulky, crappy BASS, strange head size adjustment, Made in China

I was doing some research to get a new pair of headphones and stumbled upon this site. I needed a new pair since my old ones(JVC HA-D500 made in Japan) were broken on a flight by my silly girlfriend, who pushed against the plug as they were plugged in. I ...

Pros: Comfy fit. Decent outside sound blocking.
Cons: Lots of distortion in the mids and highs. Bass artificially high.

I was looking for a pair of headphones to replace my old ones that were my dad's from the 1970's. I use them plugged into my guitar amplifier when I play at night. These headphones sounded TERRIBLE. There is too much bass, and the mids and highs are horribly distorted. The old 1970's headphones of my dad's sounded 100 times better. Maybe I'm expecting too much, but I figured that speaker technology would have improved over the last 30 years.

If all you listen to is ghetto-rap, with no mids or highs, then these might be alright for you. They did a decent job of blocking outside noise, and felt fairly comfortable on my head.
