Reviews around buy (5.00 of 5)

  • This headphone is a great buy, it has rich and deep sound and can be put up against most more expensive headphones.
  • I bought a pink pair at Best Buy 6 years ago and they lasted 4 years.
  • I had a pair that I bought at Best Buy, but I eventually sat on them and broke them
  • I like how light it is, and the price make this a good buy.
  • These are not high priced Sony or Bose, they are what they are, and they are still a great buy, descent sound quality and a comfortable nimble fit

Reviews around money (4.73 of 5)

  • 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......
  • Although these are economical, don't waste your money on ordering.
  • Not every pair is perfect, but overall, for the price, I will not waste my money on anything else
  • Very worth the money though despite these two minor complaints

Reviews around size (4.17 of 5)

  • The price is right, the quality is good, and the size is perfect.
  • These headphones are much smaller on the ear than most, but the sound quality is fantastic and the small size makes them very portable.
  • I bought three sets of these, thinking when they break I'll just toss them out
  • I also like their compact size and very comfortable even if wearing them for a long time.
  • Down to 3 stars from 4 stars after breaking!I share an office with three others and I often like to listen to music while I work

Reviews around bass (4.04 of 5)

  • The sound is also very well-balanced, without excessive bass or treble added.
  • The sound quality is crisp with a good but not overpowering bass
  • They have a bright (emphasis on treble) sound signature with good quality bass that does not bleed into the mids
  • Good sound throughout the spectrum and (very important to me) good bass response
  • It is a great value for about $10, with decent to very good bass response.

Reviews around fit (3.95 of 5)

  • Unlike the earlier version, this one has a much better and more comfortable fit if you have a smaller sized head
  • These are not high priced Sony or Bose, they are what they are, and they are still a great buy, descent sound quality and a comfortable nimble fit
  • When mine were new, I flexed the headband out very wide to get a bit looser fit.
  • They are VERY comfortable on the ears due to the leather like material, and the swiveling feature helps with a perfect fit to your head.
  • However, due to the loose fit and on-the-ear design, the bass is lacking.

Reviews around earpiece (2.60 of 5)

  • Down to 3 stars from 4 stars after breaking!I share an office with three others and I often like to listen to music while I work
  • I bought three sets of these, thinking when they break I'll just toss them out
  • They would work much better in a low noise environment as, again they are not studio headphones
  • My only complaint is the small earpieces sit on the ear, not over it, but I knew that going
  • Wish they were not broken as they looked great, small not heavy or bulky and would have been comfortable to wear

Reviews around ear (2.58 of 5)

  • They don't hurt my ears or the side of my head near my ears.

Reviews around plastic (2.36 of 5)

  • The headphones didn't hold up for me and broke when I tried to open the rigid plastic packaging.
  • (Hard plastic headrest, metal spine/band, soft padding over ears.)Comfort is wonderful.
  • A product is only as good as its weakest component, and in these, it's the tiny piece of soft plastic that holds the phones onto the adjustment sliders.
  • The bass doesn't sound as rich as on the expensive pair of headphones I no longer use, but it sounds much better than the cheap headphones I was using
  • 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.

Reviews around bite (2.28 of 5)

  • The ear cushion could be a bit better quality, but these are inexpensive headphones.
  • They pinch a little bit after a while, but they get a pretty good sound range, which is nice
  • Fair price, good sound, lightweight, but a bit uncomfortable on my head, though I bought them for my Wife, and she is happy & likes them a lot
  • They are not noise cancellation ear phones, you can still hear a bit of what is going on around you.
  • These sound a bit better; there's a little more bass and the highs are a little cleaner, just a bit better all around

Reviews around ambient noise (2.26 of 5)

  • 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.

  • Wish they were not broken as they looked great, small not heavy or bulky and would have been comfortable to wear

Reviews around block noise (1.85 of 5)

  • Since blocking noise isn't really a selling point of these headphones, I won't lower the stars
  • JVC has some nice earbuds that do a better job of blocking noise
  • well I assumed
  • but if I am listening to music or watching a movie and don't want to disturb my roommates I much prefer external headphones as buds can make your ears itch
  • don't really surround your ears, so they really aren't great for blocking noise

  • Go ahead and scoff and shake your heads at this silly boy making such rash comparisons.
  • Also my boys love them
  • I am looking forward to going to the gym and rocking these bad boys out
  • I actually have a little headphone amplifier (that I pair with my AKGs when I'm really trying to perpetuate my tinnitus), but no need on these bad boys
