Overview

The JVC Xtreme Xplosives HAFR201AE are wired in-ear headphones engineered with bass enthusiasts in mind. Each earbud houses a 10mm large-diaphragm neodymium driver unit paired with JVC's Extreme Deep Bass Ports, which work together to push low frequencies with more impact than typical earbuds in this class. The ergonomic contoured body is finished with rubber protectors that shield the housings from everyday wear, and three sizes of silicone ear-pieces let you dial in a snug fit for better passive noise isolation.

The 1.2-meter Y-type cable is built from pure copper at a 2mm thickness — noticeably heftier than the thin wires found on many budget earbuds — which improves signal quality and physical resilience. A cord-mounted single-button remote with an integrated microphone provides basic call and playback control across Apple, Blackberry, and Android devices. These earbuds are a straightforward, no-frills option for listeners who want pronounced bass and reliable build quality without spending on wireless features they may not need.
