Pros: Smooth. Cheap after rebate.

Cons: Smells a little strong out of the box. It will probably fade after a while.

Pros: JVC used to make quality Marshmallows. The HA-FX35 was clear evidence of this.

Cons: These are not the HA-FX35s.

Overall Review: The JVC Marshmallows that garnered so many rave reviews on audio sites were the HA-FX35 buds. Those were honestly the best buds you could get under $30, maybe even $50. These HA-FX30 buds are relatively new, meant to replace the 35s. These are absolutely HORRIBLE. JVC must've priced headphones to the absolute lowest bidder to manufacture these. Gone is the single wire after the y-split as well as the thingy that slides up to keep your headphones from tangling. The sound quality and build quality are garbage. Good job JVC, I hope the profit margins are worth it, cause you will be losing a lot of customers from this.

Pros: -Cheap -Didn't kill my computer.

Cons: -Timing is not as advertised. I checked the RAM and found it to be 10-11-11-28 instead of the advertised 9-9-9-24.

Overall Review: If you are in a hurry for RAM and don't want to spend any more than necessary, like I was, this should work fine for you. But it is a little slower than the specs say it should be.

Pros: Lots of features on paper. One of the earlier boards to include USB 3.0

Cons: In the year and a half I've owned this board, it has died on me twice. The third time around, the replacment board arrived DOA. I'm never purchasing another MSI board ever again.
