JVC if you're seeing this , I love the sound of these when I tried them , but just cant get over the pleather part knowing they will 100% fall off eventually if you are able to make something like a special drop cloth version of these , definitely would buy them in a heart beat.

IMO these headphones are awesome! The wood dome driver produces a smooth and balanced sound, very pleasant to my ears. I didn't like my ears touching the driver, so I changed the pads for Brainwavz Sheepskin Leather Angled Memory Foam Earpads (large) and it helped to smooth out the noticeable high peaks and made the headphones very comfortable. I've had them for about 2 years and they're holding up pretty well. I find myself reaching for them when listening with a DAP, even though I own an extensive collection of much more expensive headphones. Highly recommended!

I'd like to try them, but based on experience, I can already see that headband and pads flaking off with time and leaving black dander all over my ears and neck. Pleather is such a heartbreaker to me. 😔
Looks nice and feels good for just a little while. Then, as if a timer reaches zero, it cracks and loses the first flake. Doesn't matter how much I baby my headphones and control the temperature and humidity, they all crack and flake off on their own if they have any pleather. 😩

raansire7Just replace the earpads when they disintegrate? It's not rocket science, they will wear out and go bad and need to be replaced just like car tires and brake pads. Headband can be wrapped with whatever aftermarket headband pad from Chinese sellers. Headbands eventually wear out and need to be replaced all the same.
You could always just settle for a Sennheiser HD598 (the older model of HD599 with a fully solid headband, but a fat velour pad where it has to sit on your head) or whatever Beyerdynamic, they are better designed to be more easily serviceable than any JVC.

Am I the only one who wanted to see measurements of this headphone here? I mean... Drop has the equipment, right? Why not measure it?

What is a "wood dome driver"? Wood changes shape and warps with humidity and heat differences, I really hope it's not part of the driver.

dm94aq7It is part of the driver. If you are interested I suggest reading up on it. These have been in the market for awhile so a lot has been written about them. https://www.head-fi.org/threads/new-jvc-wood-ha-sw01-and-ha-sw02.792512/page-10

kstokleyoh wow, wtf, and I'm glad to see that fiber pad behind the driver, they actually bothered to acoustically treat the cups, a rare sight in this hobby (which it shouldn't be)

I have a stupid question - what's the difference between this and the JVC HA-SW02 model?

badheinz1985The HA-SW02 has less wood in the internal design. The SW01 has wooden baffle boards and bass bars that the SW02 doesn't have. About 10 grams of them.

badheinz1985HA-SW01 has better tonality and wider soundstage than HA-SW02, based on what I recalled when I audited them in my opinion but some people liked the HA-SW02 more, I forgotten their reasons.

Sure, I'll be a rube and get these. I've been about as happy as I can be with the JVC HA-FDX1, so I might as well give these cans a whirl. Worst case they end up in the closet with all of the other crap cans I've bought. Plus, I'm a big sucker for the wood components in cans.
That $100 in drop rewards points for buying them is fairly nice, bringing the cost to $399, which is pretty acceptable in my opinion.

They're pretty worth it. I've had mine since 2018 and they're still doing well. Swapped the pads out with Dekoni Fenestrated and had a custom Hart HC-2 balanced cable made. They're fairly thirsty cans, not unlike all of the other Fostex T-RP series.
My only, and I do mean only complaint is that they make noises when moved. This Youtube link shows this off: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-zmNnCMkUY

FayneI get the impression you and I have similar tastes in audio (though your experience is vastly superior to mine), so I will take that as a solid endorsement!
And noise when they move is not a huge deal to me, my K702 65ths are creaky as hell. I'll take that over, say, when my ATH-A900s started literally shocking me/sparking through the right side driver...

These are the drops I don't understand. Why do a drop with a wait for an item that is already available for purchase at the same price or cheaper from other reputable sellers? If there was a cost savings then I guess I could understand but the price is the same $499 and the alternative can be delivered in days not weeks.

Starfall119You actually have to get them to use them. Still waiting on the points from photos and reviews people are supposed to get. Not only do I not get points for some headphones I have purchased all those extra ways of earning points rarely ever result in points being added. Ignoring the fact they are iffy with their points you only get a savings if you commit to spending more money before they decide to take your points away. It seems those points only have value to addicts of drop. If I had the points I should have then maybe my opinion would be different but I don't so it isn't.
