- This week's pen is Jinhao x750. How does it stack up to the 159, the x450, and others?

One of the 3 Jinhao pens I have right now (I have several more on the way, as well as a bunch of other Chinese pens--my price range, as I'm on disability.) Good pen, writes well. I agree with several other comments, the current batch of Jinhao pens seem to have more quality control (the Western market is probably why), and they are much the same, writing. I have an x450 (blue spiral), an x750 (matte black and chrome/silvery), and the "primary size crayon in the hands of a very small toddler" 159, which, since I had a stroke, is the most comfortable for me to write with (less chance to drop it.) Nibs and feeds are virtually identical (#6 Asian medium nib, which, though I could change them for something more expensive, I probably won't), and are fairly wet writing, and write as nicely as some of the vintage fountain pens I've had in the past, if not better (I feel like they write as smoothly as an Osmiroid, for example. A good one.) Great product, especially for the price, great review. Thanks!
I agree that the X750 makes a good office pen. That way when someone "borrows" it, it is not a costly
loss. Invariably non-FP users will want to try to write with it, and I have used my X750s to share my
love for FP writings, and have made converts. For the cost of an X750 you are getting a good deal.
My oldest X750 is the stainless steel version, which is 10 yrs old and still writing. If you are willing
to take care of your pens, making sure they are stored cleaned, this $3.99--$5 pen will give you
years of use. Between the X450 & X750, I tend to prefer the X750. I find I can write for extended
periods of time with the X750. The X750 & X450 have a #6 size nib. The Pilot Metros have a #5
size nib.
I have just got a few Jinhao pens and this one stands out for quality. I like the heft and the snap-off cap for ease of use. It is a very smooth writer and looks like it costs a lot more than it does. I also like the 159 for its weight and smooth writing.
I purchased several Centennial 100 pens and these are like little gems with their different liveries.
These are all impressive and I’m in serious danger of turning into a collector! 👍🏻
Thanks for your efforts. I enjoy your reviews!

Ur chanel deserve more subs. Explanation on point. Video on point. I dunno what not to like! And yeah, i just acquired the x450 it writes beautifully. More so than my lamys and the 2000 bauhaus when before i disamble it. Keep it up!
Outstanding review. Well done.
Just picked one of these in the Frosted Black. Should be here Friday! I can't wait!
Looks great! Currently waiting on mine arriving in a matte black / gold trim variation.
Good review. I'm really, truly liking your reviews.
Right now, I have fourteen pens inked up. I use seven or eight inks several times per week, both for work, and for personal letters, and because of some arthritis and a bit of nerve damage in my writing hand, I need two pens for each ink, one with a thin grip, and one with a thicker grip. My two main pen, ones that are in the rotation every day of the year, are Namiki, and cost a frighteningly lot of money.
But with these, I have five Jinhao pens inked. Three x750, one x450, and one of the very large, twice as heavy as a 159, Dragon pen. I wish I remembered the model number. I will say I love all five of these pens, but I replaced the nibs on four of them. The one with the original nib not only writes well, it's as smooth as any nib I own, has perfect flow, stays wet, and never has a hard start.
There is also one pen thatI also use every day of the year, but I don't know what to call it. It has a Jinhao body that I've never seen anywhere, but that I think is beautiful. It has an orangish body that looks like abalone, along with a good deal of chrome filigree. But the nib unit is from some pen I haven't been able to identify, and the cap is definitely not original to the pen. More, the fill system is a sack. Someone did a lot of very talented and skillful work to make these things all fit together.
I wish I knew who it was, but I got this pen in a box of junk at a small auction, and not even the person who brought the box knew anything about it. I do know it's a wonderful writer, and the best and truest Frankenpens I've ever seen.
The rest of the pens cost a lot more than any Jinhao, and the point is that even if you do need to replace the nib, Jinhao pens are worthy of being in rotation with any pen out there, however expensive.
@James Ritchie, I love all my Jinhao pens too. The orangish pen you speak of sounds like the one I have. I bought it off ebay and it has the chrome filigree and is orangish too. Go to ebay and type in Jinhao Yiren 675 Orange Celluloid Fountain Pen. The item number is 192895523112, and it sells for $8.99. It's a gorgeous pen, writes well and is a completely different style from all my other Jinhao pens. Hope this helps!
Thank you for sharing this Video. I have x750 and i like it much 👌👍✌️
Just caught the comment.
The two tone nibs have a thin gold plate, even at that low price point. 👍 I believe the clip and trim rings on the X450 are also gold plated.
Jinhao pens are difficult to beat for value/boom (forget a mere "bang") for the buck.
I have 992's, X450's, a couple wood 51A's (non-hooded N°5 nib versions) an all black 95, and a 950 with dragon artwork inked up and in use every day.
If Jinhao "took a page out of Hero's book" and made the 51A's with the Aerometric fill instead of cartridge-converter, I would definitely have more 51A's, in both hooded and non-hooded variations. As it is, I can only get the Hero 616 and 329 for that fill system, and they don't come in wood or fancy acrylics that mimic the look of the old Celluloid pens.
The only Jinhao I've had problems with is the 599. I retired the eight I have after three sheared off the ring on the section that secures the cap, and two developed cracks; one on the section almost to the nib, the other from the ink window to the end of the barrel threads. (why there's an ink window on a demonstrator pen, I have no idea) The nibs and feeds fit my other pens that use a N°5 nib, so retiring the $12. and coin set of seven plus one at under $4 really didn't cost me anything. The nibs, feeds, and converters are worth at least that much. 👍
I haven't decided if I want to get a 4 or 5 pack of X750. One reason I picked the X450 was for the gold trim and two tone nibs.
Silver trim and clips are O.K., I do carry my 992's ... but I prefer the gold trim, especially when I have to get gussied up for visiting the cute she doc I have, the pretty vampires when I need blood work, or for church.
To me, gold trim and clip just looks classier than silver.
Glad to discover your channel - I'm new to fountain pens and really enjoy your reviews.
Thanks and welcome!
Good review..liked it..
Great review - than you. I really like the X750, and have had good luck with nibs. I prefer it over the x450, as it’s lighter (37 grams vs 45 grams). They’re both remarkable pens in terms of cost vs quality.
All the other Jinhao can write ... quite well, in fact. Why wouldn't the X750?
You deserve more subs
Thanks!
I have a Jinhao X750, an X450 and an X159, all medium. After a while my observations:
The X750 is well balanced, writes smoothly, BUT.. the ivory-coloured paint flaked off and I removed all pf it, so now it is stainless-steel with brass finials
The X450 writes Ok, has a nice black finish with some swirly lines, but it is balanced towards the far end, making it rather odd to use. Posting makes it almost impossible to use
The X159 is large, and somehow always marks my writing hand with ink. I do like it, but it is not as wet as the X750.
My preference, (paint finish robustness apart is the X750).
Thank you for your review.
Good pens. Got 3 now.
Jinhao x450 and x750 these two pens are looks good,writes well,very quality fountain pen.the price of these pens should be at least US 50$.
I agree they are nice looking pens. Personally, I’m not a fan of Jinhao’s #6 nib, but their #5s are great, try the 992 it has a great fine nib, their extra fine hooded nibs are awesome too. I just find the #6 skips as the feed just doesn’t keep up
Their #5 is very good in every pen I've tried.
Hello sir, could you have a review for Jinhao x750 vs x450 vs Jinhao 159, please? I wanna see the difference of their writings since you already have the three if which one is best use. Thanks a lot!
They all use the same nib and are very similar writers. The differences are mainly in style and how they fit the hand.
I also love this pen and have 4. Any updates after a couple of years? Mine had some issues with flaking on the grip section. It wore off. I disagree with you about it being able to be posted. It does not securely post. I love these pens, especially the uncoated metal one.
I have a little bit of changing color on the metal trim. Can't remember if it was on the grip's trim or the clip. I'm not where I can look...but now I'm curious.
@@JG3Reviews I have 159s in black and they are chipping on the barrel and cap. But this is all superficial. They write so well. I use them daily
I know this is an old video, and you may not (probably won't) see my post.
I like the gold trim and two tone gold nibs of the X450's more than the silver trim and nibs of the X750's.
However, I like the no finger flats of the X750's sections.
As you know, the Jinhao 95, and 950's lack the finger positioning flats.
I have a "stealth black" 95 (haven't gotten a green 95 like yours yet) and two 950's. (Dragon and ship.)
Will the X750's section fit the X450's barrel?
I know they use the same size Number 6 nibs, so the X450's nibs should interchange without any issues.
Thanks.
I don't have them handy at the moment, but I do believe that they are interchangeable. I'll check when I get home.
What pad of paper are you using? Love that it is perforated at the top.
That is an art store marker pad. Very fountain pen friendly, great paper. I get mine at Hobby Lobby. The brand is Master's Touch.
@@JG3Reviews Thank you
I have about 6 JinHaos now and enjoy them all. Their quality vary s pen to pen but they are inexpensive
Interessante
Bravo!
If you want to write with a fountain pen save your money and get something of quality. These Chinese pens are nothing but bin fillers. Garbage bins that is.
