Verdict

The Victor HA-S60W (also known as JVC HA-S60W) is a lightweight, on-ear wireless headphone weighing just 149g, featuring 30mm drivers and a sleek, matte finish. It offers an impressive battery life of up to 50 hours with a 2.5-hour recharge time via USB-C, and it supports Bluetooth 5.4 with multipoint connectivity for pairing two devices simultaneously. Key pros include its body-heat-activated, shape-conforming foam earpads for a personalized fit, five selectable EQ modes (Flat, Bass, Clear, Dynamic, Vocal), and the inclusion of a 1.2m detachable cable for optional wired use. However, notable cons include a lack of active noise cancellation (ANC), no support for high-definition codecs like LDHC or aptX Low Latency, and a frequency response that starts at a relatively standard 20 Hz.
