Reviews around money (4.73 of 5)

  • Very worth the money though despite these two minor complaints
  • Its an on-ear phone for the student/commuter that only wants to risk ear bud money
  • Although these are economical, don't waste your money on ordering.
  • Maybe we got part of a bad batch of these since we bought them all at once, but after three tries I'm not wasting any more money to test that possibility
  • Put it this way.... as long as jvc continue to make quality sounding headphones at bargain prices I will never waste my money on overpriced beats by Dre or Bose......

Reviews around earpiece (2.60 of 5)

  • My only complaint is the small earpieces sit on the ear, not over it, but I knew that going
  • They would work much better in a low noise environment as, again they are not studio headphones
  • I was going to add "for the price" but honestly, I think they sound nearly as good as my Bose QC 25, though they don't have noise cancelling, of course.

Reviews around plastic (2.36 of 5)

  • The packaging (hard plastic) made it very difficult to get these out
  • Headphones look good, but too much plastic, good sound quality,I use it to connect the phone to listen to music
  • As a workaround, I unscrewed the sides, replaced the broken plastic parts with wooden dowels (for rigidity) and then used electrical tape to secure the headphones in place.
  • I was going to add "for the price" but honestly, I think they sound nearly as good as my Bose QC 25, though they don't have noise cancelling, of course.

  • The ear cushion could be a bit better quality, but these are inexpensive headphones.

  • don't really surround your ears, so they really aren't great for blocking noise
